Vesper services bring spirit of Christmas At Christmas the doors of Liberty High School were opened wide to members of the community as students combined their vocal and instrumental talents to present the annual Vesper services. This year they were held on the evenings of December 11,14, and 15 under the direc- tion of Mr. Donald Snider and Mr. Ronald Sherry. After an organ prelude by Mrs. Ernest Wescoe, the Girls' Ensemble, a new addition to the Liberty music pro- gram, opened the performance with a trio of numbers. Each offering was well sung and well received by the large audiences. Next was the procession of the junior and Senior Glee Clubs to the music of Gustav HoIst's On This Day and the traditional Silent Night. The beautiful renditions of Lost in the Night, Beautiful Savior, and The Many Moods of Christmas were surpassed only by Handel's mighty Hallelujah chorus. Musical offerings by the Sophomore Choir and the or- chestra rounded out the performance. Throughout the program tableaux representing scenes surrounding the birth of Christ added a touch of beauty to the proceed- ings. Mr. Carl Langkamer was responsible for the staging of these scenes, and Mr, Dale Kehler coordinated the stage crew's efforts. The sounds of Christmas put lim Morrison in a contemplative mood. 1 l A ' in 4 V' . x . Q f Q . R 8 4 4 A host of angels gives praise to the infant Savior,

'Picnic' a success as all-school play The Drama Club began the year with the highly success- ful, award-winning play Picnic by William Inge. The story centers around the theme of small-town people chasing dreams and involves strong character acting and the ability to convincingly project the turmoil of inner conflicts. Leads Brucie Patterson and Mike Richardson gave sensi- tive portrayals and were aided by a fine supporting cast. Although production time was shorter than usual, coo- peration between cast, stage crew, and the committees enabled the play to be a most enjoyable evening's enter- tainment. Charles Russell did a superior job as student director. Mr. Dale Kehler served as faculty adviser. The various committees were headed by Randee Nicholas, Scott Ryder, Liz lohn, and Bill Argeros who were responsible for make-up, publicity, props, and the stage crew, re- spectively. Madge . . . ....
