An annual event at PHS is the Christmas concert. A processional this year was an innovation from the program of other years. The senior choir took their places on the stage to the Christmas music of O Come All Ye Faithful. A speech play, Joy of the Angels, preceded the concert. A mixed quartet sang several carols, which were interspersed throughout a reading of passages from the Bible. A male-voice speech choir narrated the Nativity as a cast of angels reenacted the joy of the angels at Christ 's birth. The junior choir, besides closing the speech play, sang several numbers. In addition to the two choirs, the three ensembles sang several numbers. H2ndC1,S MCSSi2h,, was presented to the community a second time by the Community Chorus, directed by Miss Grace E. Cron. Soloists for the occasion were Mrs. Edward Yoder, sopranog Mrs. Glen Nafziger, contraltog Lester King and Rnhert Yoder: tennrsg and Tom Roos, bass. Sharon Nofziger, a sophomore, and Mrs. Clyde Rice accompanied the choir and soloists at the piano and organ. Two of the many groups herding Christmas parties were the Student Council and journalism class. - One of the humorous things which took place was the incident of Miss Wyse getting into the swing of things, otherwise know as hula-hooping! The journalism party was held at Judy Short 's home and Suzy Frey entertained the Student Council at her home. For more than a Week, school was dismissed because of heavy snow and ice. This period of eight days was unusually long. An annual event for dads was the kindergarten dads' party. The fathers were honored with food and entertain- ment by their children. There were two parties--one for the east section, one for the west. Charles King, noted baritone, gave an assembly program to the PTO and to grades one to six. A concert was cancelled for high school because snow and ice forced dismissal of school. Mr. King was formerly associated with the Wings Over Jordan Choir. This scene shows the ice which closed school for a few days. The vacation was very much appreciated by the students.
