An evening of medieval family entertainment, The annual Wassail, in it’s 16th consecutive year, is a Christmas celebration of medi- eval times. It is enhanced with the traditions of song and dance. The Wassail, under the direc- tion of Mr. Brown, focuses upon Santa Lucia. St. Lucia, a maiden of the Roman Empire, gave up her dowry to the poor near the day she was supposed to have been wed. Such an ac- tion was unheard of in that day. 12 events Lucia achieved her Saint status when she was burned at the stake and did not die until a sword pierced her heart. Along with other traditions such as the lighting of the Christmas tree and the bring- ing in of the Boar ' s head, was a puppet show written by the 8th grade STP class and performed by the Speech Club under the direction of Miss Kubiak. The newest arrival was the hand- bells, performed by the boys ensemble. They performed the song “Christmas was Born.” Wassailers in their dresses and tunics sang a wide variety of Christmas songs while the guests enjoyed a 4 course meal. The main dish was roast loin of pork. Other dishes in- cluded tossed green salad, baked potatoes, croissants and caviar. Desserts included Swiss Delight cake from St. Louis as well as many other varieties of cakes and candies.
