On Friday. December 13th, the Senior class decorated the Christmas tree. Before starting the decorating the lights were checked. Following the completion of the decorating, all the (trade children were invited to witness the ‘'lighting of the tree.” A lovely ceremony followed. Clyde Hunter, a senior, presented the Bible story of the birth of Christ. He then explained the deeper meaning of our Christmas tree lights. At this time Eugene Wolverton turned on the lights. I his was followed by group singing of carols. The lights were then extinguished and later in the day the same program was put on for the senior high school. At the close the girls chorus sang Oh Hoi Night,' For the rest of the season the tree was lighted. GIRLS 4 - H CLUB Back row—Patty Janney. Coralenc Morgan, Regina Long, Wanda Recor, Jacqueline Smith.
