'QTHE NATIVITY,, The high school gymnasium was the scene of a Christmas program on December 15, 1946. The program was enjoyed so much by the audience last year that it was repeated again with but a few changes. A choir of eighty voices and a cast of twenty-five presented the Christmas Story to a capac- ity crowd. The Nativity was preceded by several Christmas carols by the brass quartet and Irving Berlin's White Christmas sung by the choir. The Nativity was divided into the following parts: The Promise, The Annunciation, The Trip to Bethlehem, The Angel and the Shepherds, The March of the Kings, and The Holy Birth. The choir told the story in song while the cast pantomimed it on the stage. The transition from song to song was carried out by the narrator, Patricia Stuff. Vocal soloists in the choir were: Dale Maxey, Bud Davis, Louise Travis, Mason Scholl, and Dale Blough. BOYS' CHORUS It takes time and patience, and the boys' chorus has just that. For evidence you have only to journey to the study hall on Tuesday immediately after the 12:51 bell has rung. No, of course, they don't sing in there, but what wall can absorb the vigorous melodies which is just a step from the confines of the assembly? Under the direction of Mr. Parrett the robust boys get rid of some of their energy by singing Li'l Liza Jane. In more quiet moments they sing numbers such as Ole Man River. Although the boys' chorus was organized primarily to give all desirous boys a chance to sing, it has sung at programs such as the Christmas Nativity. ..22..
