CHRISTMAS PAGEANT The annual Christmas Pageant was presented in the auditorium on December 18 under the direction of Mrs. Eleanor Stull. The high school choir and the string ensemble provided the musical background for the portrayal of the Bib- lical scenes in the Nativity. The recently in- stalled lighting system of the auditorium added much to the beauty of the presentation. THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT Orchestra rehearses as a string ensemble and as full group. It provides music for Baccalau- reate, class plays, and the Christmas Program, and sends players each year to County and District 0rchestra.k Several players play with the Community Orchestra in Punxsutawney which rehearses every wee .
