Coming through the festively decorated archway, guests enter the cafeteria for refreshments. V Winter Wonderland” Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin ' ; In the lane, snow is glistenin ' . These words form the beginning of the ever popular Winter Won- derland, which the Girls ' Athletic Association chose as the theme for their annual winter formal. The predominant colors were pink, blue, and white. The stage was decorated with three aluminum Christmas trees hung with white and blue angel hair. Suspended from the ceiling were snowflakes sprayed in blue and pink. A false ceiling of white crepe paper had also been constructed. One of the added attractions of the dance was the discreet sprig of mistletoe which hung from the rim of one of the baskets.

’Twas the Night Before Christmas . . On Friday, December 18, the Dramatics Club presented a one-act play, A By-Line tor St. Luke. The play centered around a Christmas miracle, which took place in a metropolitan newspaper office. The play was directed by Richard Nault and Janis Watkins. The two major characters, Luke Cameron and Carol Prescott, were played by Doug Allen and Lenore Colin. The other characters were played by Mike Gall, Sandy Vondy, John Blanchard, Kathy Kren and Barbara Moyes. Following the presentation of the play, the A Cappella and Glee Club presented their annual Christmas program for the student body. This concert will be remembered — not only musically — but for its unique be- ginning when both groups rose from the audience and walked to the front singing Winter Wonderland. Other highlights of the program were the Madrigals ' selections and the Junior High Girls ' Sextette. Carol of the Drum was a number featuring the boys singing a back- ground resembling the sound of a drum. The Girls ' Glee Club offered a modern arrange- ment of Jingle Bells. Several selections later the program closed with a popular Christmas favorite, The Christmas Song ( Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire ). Play cast from left to right: Mike Gall, Kathy Kren, Barbara Moyes, Sandy Vondy, John Blanchard, Lenore Colin, Doug Allen. 18
