hrilstrnlos Love s Told Once Again As once again the Christmas story Lui- olds, Dominican pauses to remember that irst Christmas. We attempt to imitate the reat example of love set for us by our edeemer. One of the charitable deeds is the onating by each homeroom of articles of ood, clothing and toys to poor families within e city. Another activity is the annual presentation f the Oratorio. The efforts of all involved n its preparation are very rewarding. A edley of Christmas hymns and carols played y the orchestra begins the program. A andlelight procession by choral members ollows. The curtains then open, and the horic speech groups and the choral tell the essage of Gabriel, and visit of Elizabeth, he birth of Christ and the homage given Him y Magi. Ruth Mayhall and Diane Schaefer, beautiful story of the Visitation as Mary and Elizabeth, sing the with the help of the choral. I'-llx The closing scene of the Christmas Oratorio is its crowning glory, the manger scene. Ruth Mayhall as the Blessed Virgin, Patricia Kozdroj as the Archangel Gabriel, Diane Maiolatesi as St. Joseph and Sharon Rabaut as one of the shepherds 0 ,. , adore the new-born King and Saviour of the world. The beauti- ful hymn, Silent Night, sung by the junior-senior choral pro- vides the atmosphere for this nativity scene. We know a feeling of oneness with the Christ in His manger bed.

Celebrates Christmas With the approach of Advent, stu- dents prepare the Advent Wreath for each homeroom. We redouble our prayers and good works that each heart Will be ready for the coming of Christ. Social activities cease temporarily, as We concen- trate on preparations for the great feast at hand. Yet, even in Advent, we look forward to Christ's coming. Cribs are taken out and repaired, the office manger set is arranged in an attractive corner, prepara- tions for the Christmas dance begin to take shape. Outside, the Christ- mas crib is erected, and Rosary Field begins to glow in a wonder- land of dazzling lights. Only the Weather refuses to cooperate. Sullen clouds forecast snow, but none appears. We continue our Work and our Advent prayers. And then, it's here! Once more the glad bells ring out telling the glad story of God's goodness to man. Dominican participates fully in the liturgy of the great event. Work ceases, and for one long Week, We celebrate! The Christmas dance, held on the day after Christ- mas, strikes the joyous note of ful- fillment. We gather with ourfriends and rejoice that the long wait is over. Let the joyful caroling begin! Open up your hearts to the King of Peace! The joy of the season be yours! 5 Cathy Bu-Inger and Kathy O1 While the band takes a break, the couples sen enjoy the senior dance visit the refreshment counter in the cafe- ' it H' .:.
