CHRISTMAS PROGRAM WAS VARIETY SHOW The Christmas program, presented on December 21, was a true variety show. Both the Grade School and High School were rep- resented in the program. The First and Second Grades began the program with an expertly executed square dance, and sang Luther's Cradle Hymn, and Up on A House Top, later in the pro- gram. The Third and Fourth Grades sang Frosty the Snowman and Santa Claus Express. Grades Five and Six sang The Christmas Story, and When It's Christmas on the Range. Ann Clendenen and Gordon Christensen, both Fourth Graders, did an action song, I'll Never Play With You Again. The Seventh and Eighth Grades did a series of seven pantomimes, some of which were funny and some serious. Carol Gearhart, an eighth grader, recited A Christmas Story, a story of the birth of Jesus. A group of High School girls under the direction and with the accompaniment of Mrs. Joe Marshall, sang Are My Ears on Straight? with Margo Harvey as the doll. They also sang Deck the Halls, and Bring Back That OldFashioned Christmas. BAND AND CHORUS PRESENTED SPRING MUSIC PROGRAM The school band and members of Grades 1 through 6 presented a spring music program on the evening of May 9. The first grade sang Easter Bunny, Bake A Pie, and Six Little Ducks. Grade 2 did an action song, Robin's Return, and Springtime. Grade 3 presented The Pied Piper of Hamlin, with Joe Marshall as the Piper and Martin McCarty as the mayor of Hamlin. A Wyoming Pageant by the Fourth Grade featured such colorful figures in Wyoming history as John Colter, Jim Bridger, Sacajawea, and Kit Carson. Grades 5 and 6 sang several folk songs: Red River Valley, Down in the Valley, and This Land is Your Land. The school band played several numbers during the program.

CHRISTMAS PARTY SIGNALED START OF VACATION The Student Council planned a Christmas Party for the high school students. Previous to this time names had been drawn, and the Christmas tree was piled high with presents. Thad Brayton, Student Council president, and his helpers distributed the presents. An unusual and much enjoyed novelty this year was a short skit, which each class was required to present. The seniors mixed up words and music to Christmas songs, and after a demonstration conducted a Sing Along. Other classes presented equally clever skits. Many of last year's graduates were guests. They had been recruited by the Honor Society to help sing carols. Refreshments were served, then every- one disbanded for the holidays. Good kids waiting for Santa Claus. Thad and Leo start the food. Just follow the crowd to the punch and doughnuts. Ron and Pleaman seem pleased. The cleanup committee goes to work.
