A. Ferguson’s “Campbell of Kilmohr,” a short but stirring tragedy. Our players, under Mr. Harry Friesen’s fine direction, presented an interesting interpretation of this play and earned for themselves the winning mark in the drama competition. A rather unexpected invitation was extended to our group late this spring asking it to perform at the Manitoba Provincial Drama Festival to be held in Dauphin on May 16, 17 and 18. After a short period of consideration fhe invitation was accepted. According to Mr. Friesen, the excursion proved to be a very worthwhile experience. 20

7 ieqiate (tyoOt The Collegiate Choir is one of our school’s proud traditions. Students and parents alike have learned to look forwa J to the choir’s annual performances. This is proven year after year by the excellent attendance at the Carol Service a the festival competition. This year was no exception to the rule. Much hard work goes into the preparation for choir appearances. Mr. Braun, the director, would be the first underscore this statement. At the same time, however, it is felt the rewards are greater for the effort. Frequently hear complaints after choir rehearsals, but seldom do we hear these after a good performance. The choir, and Mr. Braun in particular, are to be commended for their fine work this year. The Candlelight Carol Service [lit; iiv The annual Candlelight Carol Service was held on December-14 in the Bergthaler Church. Once again it proved be a highlight in the year’s activities. The junior and senior choruses combined to render a warm and moving conc e@ of Christmas songs bearing out once again the universality of the Christmas celebration. The concert opened with the traditional lighting of the candles, followed by the processional to the strains of thirteenth century carol “O Come, 0 Come Emmanuel.” The universal aspect of Christmas emerged in the singing 11 four groups of carols which ranged from the well known German carol “O du frohliche” to lesser known but beautroj Christmas folk music of other cultures like “Mary Had A Baby” and “Pat-A-Pan.” The program also included select! © from J. M. Rasley’s “The Miracle of Bethlehem.” F] Rev. G. E. Denison of Altona gave the Christmas address. His message was entitled “Christmas Must Leave Cradle.” d 1 ha The service was brought to a suitable close with a beautiful rendition of the well-loved “Stille Nacht.” 22
