HO! HO! HO! Christmas at Meadowbrook just wouldn’t be right without the Christmas concert, presented this year by more than 120 students. The performance got off to a good start when the orchestra gave their rendition of “Yuletide Fanta- sy” led by Miss Laurie Collins. Then came the fervorous voices from the choirs led by Mr. Earl Binns. All the choirs gave the audience a ‘“Wintertime Aglow.” A visit from Santa Clause was no sur- prise, but when Mrs. clause showed up, everyone was thrilled. Mr. and Mrs. Clause bid their good wishes and gave candy to the very young and the young at heart before they made way for the band, conducted by Mr. M.L. Minnigh. The band filled our hearts with Christ- mas joy when they played themes from the Nutcracker suite. For a grand finale the band, combined choruses, and former graduates formed together to perform for the audience The Hallelujah Chorus. This definately left the audience aglow with the true spirit of Chirstmas. Snowflakes keep fallin’ on my head The mixed chorus waits for the wave of Mr. Binns’ hand. There’s a new Prep in town To add to the wardrobe of Mr. Earl Binns he was presented with an Izod sweater by Debbie Isenberg. Open your mouth and say “Ahh...” The boister- ous voices of the mixed choruses filled the audito- rium with a Christmasy spirit.

SHARON TAKES TWO TITLES GUTS! Yes you've got to have guts to stand up in front of more than 600 people and tell them your favorite person, place or thing. This was just a part of what our “southern bells” had to go through in this years Miss Meadow- brook Pageant. The talents, ranging from a stand-up com- edy routine to baton twirling, gave the girls quite a challenge, especially since they had less than a month to prepare, but perhaps the most challenging was done by the six finalists when they picked questions at random and had to respond with their opinion. This years contestants were Freshmen: Diana Kane and Becky Strobel. Sophomores: Leslie Henry, Robin Johnson and Dana Peake. Juniors: Rachel Elliot, Mitzi Long, Robin Un- derwood and Lisa Wauford, Seniors: Paula Al- len, Sheryl Horning, Allison Huddle, Janet Mercer and Sharon Vaughn. It was hard enough for the six judges to go from fourteen contestants to six but when they had to to with one this was definately a close competition. It was so close that there was a tie in the runner-up category between Lisa Wauford and Sheryl Horning. After tak- ing the title Miss Congeniality, Sharon Vaughn was further surprised to be crowned Miss Meadowbrook 1980.
