Choir Program, Dance Kick Off Holidays “All I want for Chrithmuth isth my two front teeth,” sings Don Scott. “If you don’t shut up, you’ll need more than two teeth!” threatens Gar)' McCartie while the little ones, Susan Glover and Ray Freeman, gaze in wonder at the Christmas program. Besides being the long-awaited last day before the holidays, December 21 was a day filled with the cheer of the Choraliers’ Christmas program and the fun of the annual Christmas Ball. Classes were in most cases a far cry from the usual with cokes and cookies being the order of the day. After lunch students rushed to get best seats for the annual choral presentation. After the strains of “Carol of the Bells” had quieted the crowd, the Choraliers slowly marched down the aisles singing “Oh, Come All Ye Faith- ful.” Following the presentation of a medley of holiday songs under the title of “Fanfare for Christmas,” which included the perennial favorite. “Drummer Boy,” was a short interlude of audience participation with the untrained voices singing such favorites as “White Christmas” and “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” An informal unrehearsed section ensued with individual members of the choir presenting their talents. One segment called “Double Talk” showed how people, confronted with the frenzy of the holidays, often say one thing while meaning exactly the opposite. The traditional “Night Before Christmas” was sung at the end of the program w ith the choir exes joining in. The Christmas Ball provided a fitting climax for the day with music furnished by the Showmen. 26
