Setting the mood for the fall play, Mime artists Eve Werling and Telly Nakos pro- vide the introduction. Being held captive by Tim Lingenfelder and Paul Lehman, Mary Stalder waits for the ar- rival of Prince Thomp- son to get the magic ring off of her finger in Who Can Fix the Drag- on ' s Wagon. Force appears incognito 1p ike John Travolta, the thrill i of entertaining began on stage. For the students not in- volved, the Fall Play and Toybox revealed the many hidden talents of their counterparts. Twenty to twenty-five people tried out for Thurber Carnival and seventeen or eighteen for Who Can Fix the Dragon ' s Wag- on. Tryouts for each play lasted for two nights after which the hopefuls waited in agony for the results. Two dress rehearsals pro- vided characters with a chance to test their facades through cos- tume and makeup. These two props proved to be essential as they covered their true identity and made the world of make be- lieve a reality.

No snow but spirit revives hristmas officially began at Concordia with the tra- ditional Christmas Con- cert. As in years past, the musical ended in candle light but a medley of traditional carols by the audi- ence added a touch of uniqueness. For the eleventh consecutive year, Channel 33 filmed Christ- mas at Concordia. Various groups and individuals inclined with musical talent helped con- struct a worshipful atmosphere for the thousand shut-ins viewing. December 22 at Shiloh Hall stu- dents danced to the sound of End Game at the annual Christmas Dance. The threatening possibil- ity of the 1979 dance becoming extinct boosted ticket sales to- ward the end and provoked the committee to offer tickets at the door. A Christmas assembly directed by Miss Dianne Shrubsall includ- ed Christmas stories, entertain- ment by the Singers and many carols, which all helped to en- hance the Christmas spirit. Fifty-one families received nearly seven hundred dollars in gift certificates plus an entire North American Van Lines full of canned foods, clothing and pre- sents during this year ' s Christmas Bureau. Janet Jordan concluded, I thought the Christian spirit was excellently shown through the amount of canned goods, money, clothes and presents. The Christmas Concert is preceded by mu- sic from the Woodwind Choir, directed by Chris Murphy. The 14th annual ' Chirstmas at Concordia ' , was led by Chaplain Fred Stennfeld, Pas- tor Nerger. and Pastor Hinkle. 28 christmas
