Christmas chimes rang out for the seventh successive year as the age-old story of the perfect gift, Why the Chimes Rang, was told in dialogue and pantomime. Climaxing the annual candlelit Vesper Services, the pre- sentation was colored by the beautiful cos- tuming, varied sets, and the backstage choir. The characterizations were topped by such future Thespians as Betty Garbarino, Ruth Born, Thelma Ramage, Margaret Cooper, Ted Garrity, Merrill Windsor, Tom- my Robbins, John Nutter, Clarence Gray, Bill Littlejohn, Walker Carpenter, Danny Reed, Jackie Pfister, and Billie McFarland. The prompters were Courtenay Luna and Betty Waples. A talented group of senior students, ham- pered but undaunted by the constant threat of mumps, went through their paces for eight concentrated days in preparation for the con- test play, the drama, Good Vintage. Under the able direction of Miss Lillian Savage, the cast of nine rehearsed, were made up, and presented the final production in the Phoenix Junior College Auditorium March 21, receiv- ing an excellent rating in the Salt River Val- ley one-act play competition. Dramatists included in the cast of this Grand Finale of P. H. H. Dramatic Productions were Betty Garbarino, Judy Gibson, Edith Martin, Yvonne Bowen, Carolyn Walker, Courtenay Luna, Jean Hale, Wayne Frerichs, and Jack Thompson.
