k CHRISTMAS PROGRAM 7 Merging our voices in song The Christmas Program was presented on 12 De- cember 1983. The show opened with a reading by Tami Zabka and a welcoming address by Andrea Holmes, Kelly Kramer and Amber Seier. The Concert Choir, with the Junior High and the Freshmen, performed several carols in four part harmony. The Kindergarten and both the lower and upper Grade School students also sang. The Elementary School performed “Thirty Minutes with Santa Claus” by H.L. Bland. Santa Claus narrated the story of the First Christmas to a materialistic family to convince them of the true meaning of Christmas. The story was illustrated by students depicting the Biblical characters and was high-lighted by the singing of tradi- tional Christmas hymns. Readings were given by Rhonda Wiegand, Carrie Petsche and Marlene Salber. The Concert Band round- ed out the program with a medley of Christmas tunes. The grand finale was an all-choir performance of Silent Night.” 10
