Never did a child arrive on suchanight...Listen, she is singing a lu1laby. The words of the chorus tell the story of Christmas while Charlotte Reinart Cantata and tableaux--WA Solo voices from the chorus sang the parts of Joseph and Mary, the shepherds, and the innkeeper and his wife. The modern phrasing of the lyrics was evident in a variety of lines. The dynamic Bethlehem was in con- fusion: t ents, tents, tentsmpitched on the ground. . .people milling e v e r y w h e r e to find a place to stay, brought a fresh approach to the traditional Christmas story. The cantata gracefully moves on to the melodious song of Joseph putting bundles of hay into the crib...A lullaby soothes the Christ Child and finally the Cantata ends in the finale of Christmas Joy. and Rogene Siert, who play the roles of Joseph and Mary, show the Christ Child to the innkeeper and his wife, played by Rosemary Eimers and Pat Johnson.

Fair land enchantment delights an audience The Magic Beanstalk was the choice for the tenth annual children's musical. Each year, through the combined efforts of the art, drama, and music departments, a play to delight young and old is spot- lighted on the Marian Hall stage. The story is the age old tale of Jack and the Beanstalk. But a few additions, such as the scene in which Jack goes to the fair to sell Juliana the cow, make the tale more picturesque and more suitable for a musical. ln the sc ene at the fair, there are dances and songs by Dutch girls and Chinese girls, a tambourine dance by Gipsy Ann, and a song by the Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. It is this last who trades five magic beans for Jack's cow. In a very original dance, choreographed by the Modern Dance Club, the five beans perform, much to the delight of the audience. Two small tots demand a closer view of the musical set as they wander onstage to see just what this magic beanstalk is all about --there's nothing like a modern audience. 2 'f A surprised mother, played by Margaret Jonas, and an Blunderbuss, is killed and Juliana the cow is bought elated Jacknplayed by Cheryl Harvey, show the villagers back with a golden egg, Jack and his mother live happily the hen which lays the golden eggs. After the giant, ever after--a typical fairy tale ending for youngsters. 107
