30 THE MEGUNTICOOK ment at the University of Maine, spoke to the group on “What Home Economics Has to Offer High School Girls.” The Waldoboro freshman home economics class members were our guests to hear this speaker and the refreshments were made and served by freshmen. During the year FHA members in the home economics classes prepared and served refreshments to the teach- ers in School Union 69 and to the PTA. In May the FHA presented its an- nual Style Show with the co-operation of local dress shops. Between show- ings, the band provided incidental music. Lois Inman chairmaned this affair, which was completed with a dance. The Camden club supported Jean Wilbur as a candidate for first vice- president of the State FHA. Sally Crockett and Mary Perkins headed the transportation committee for the girls who attended the State Conven- tion in Gorham. The club completed its year’s acti- vities by traveling to Old Orchard Beach for an outing. CAMDEN HIGH SCHOOL CHORUS After a lapse of three years, vocal music was reinstated in the high school under the direction of Mrs. Esther Rogers. This course was open to all students who had free study periods on Friday mornings and who wished to sing. The classes were well attended; total enrollment was over ninety. Just before Christmas the chorus sang for the first time in public at the Christmas Pageant, which was presented by the combined effort of the band, chorus, and dramatics de- partment. Two performances of this Pageant were given, one on the after- noon of December 18, for the special enjoyment of the Grade School, and another for the general public on the same evening. On the stage of the Camden Audi- torium, a brilliant pantomime of the Christmas Story was staged by the dramatics instructor, Mr. Earl Mer- cer. Those who took part in it were: Shepherds, James Dean, David Jack- son. Roger Plaisted, and Robert Ran- kin; Kings, Edward Thomas, Stuart Carle, and Paul Davis; Joseph, Bruce Young; Mary, Joyce Milliken; Angels, Barbara Tounge, Sally Crockett, Joyce Harvey, Lvn Abbott; Children, Ruth Raynes, David Rainer. John Christie was the narrator. The scenery was designed and made by David Jackson and Phyllis Young. The chorus sang many beautiful Christmas carols with the band’s ac- companiment. Other musical highlights were the trumpet duet, “The Green Cathe- dral,” played by Merritt Blake and . Thelma Small accompanied by Jac- queline Reynolds at the piano, and a bell solo by Harriett Thomas. Late in the spring a mixed chorus was selected from the general group.
