CAROL SERVICE And still they come each year To hear a flood of surging song poured fourth From amateurish voices Silvered now by deep defeire to please. And still they come and fill each place. And stand against the darkened wall, And listening, watch; And joy again in the spirit of Christmas, Warmed by the children ' s voices. Lightened by the shining faces. Do you see my Julia where she stands Singing with such a will? Only one of many making Christmas cheer. Creating atmosphere, under the guidance Of a practiced hand. The thirty-third Annual Carol Service of Branksome opened with twelve beautifully blended voices singing ' 0 Little Town Of Bethlehem . The delicate notes died away giving place to the gay, joyous carols sung by the Junior school. An international flavour was added by carols from France, Norway and old Bohemia. A noticeable change of atmosphere attended the procession of the Senior Choir. They continued the programme with carols mostly un- accompanied such as Lo, How A Rose and Quem Pastores . The massed voices of the Senior School ended this memorable pro- gramme on a note of exaltation with a resounding ' ' Gloria In Excelsis Deo.
