Twenty-Fifth Year Is Honored Silver is as good as gold for the Mesa High A Cappella Choir as they celebrated the Silver Anniversary of the Vespers Service this year. Vespers is the Christmas program presented by the choir to the community each year. In preparation for the service invitations were sent to all alumni of the choir from the past twenty-five years. On the Saturday before Vespers a banquet was given to honor past directors of the choir, Mr. Denton and Mr. Hendrix. During the evening services many traditional Christmas songs were sung and several selections from the Messiah',, by Handel. A silver tray was given to the choir from the Westwood Honor Choir and the Mesa High Band presented them with a silver cake knife.
