Christmas Program On December 18, the 23rd Annual Christmas Carol Sing was held in the Mattituck High School auditorium. The program was divided into two parts; the first was sung by Grades 1 through 8; the second part by the High School Glee Club and the audience. A most interesting feature of the carols was the unusual program. The children sang the native carols of various countries including the English carol, “The Friendly Beasts , the famous German “Echo Carol” (complete with Sixth Grade echo), our own “Moon of Wintertime”, an Indian carol, and “Rise Up Shepherd and Follow”, a Negro spiritual. Barbara Nedoszytko and Michael Hilliker narrated a short history of each carol. This year the brass ensemble of the band was introduced as the accompaniment of the Glee Club in their rendition of four carols: “What Child is This”, “We Do Worship Thee”, “A Joyful Christmas Song”, and “Ring Christmas Bells”. The evening ended with the singing of the traditional Christmas carols in which the aud- ience joined. Under the expert direction of Mr. William Topping, the Mattituck High School Glee Club presented their annual Thanksgiving program on Wednesday, November 26, 1958. The opening exercises, conducted by Floyd Harris, President of the Glee Club, were followed by Mr. Garelle’s announcements. The band started the program with Hymn of Brotherhood” by Beethoven. The Glee Club then presented four seasonal hymns, Bach’s Now Let Every Tongue Adore Thee”, “Now Thank We All Our God”, Gounod’s “Praise Ye The Father” and Scott’s “This Is My Country”. The Glee Club and band combined their talents to perform the traditional “Hymn of Thanksgiv- ing”. At the close of the program a very re- sponsive assembly joined to sing “God of Our Fathers” and “Come Ye Thankful People, Come.” This year the community had an added treat. Our Glee Club was heard over the local radio station on Thanksgiving Day. Those who missed the school program were able to spend an enjoy- able fifteen minutes listening to sixty voices raised in praise of our Lord.
