Christmas was everywhere at South High School, in the gaily decorated homerooms, in the lobby where stood a be- decked tree, and in the hearts of all who participated and en- joyed the holiday presentation, This is Christmas . The Inter-Club Council bought a beautiful artifical tree for the lobby. All of the clubs donated money for trimmings for the tree. The yule season was complete with a toy train and gifts. The Christmas program, presented in the afternoon and evening, was quite inspiring. The orchestra, under the direc- tion of Mr. Charles Bosley, played a few Christmas selections. The chorus, directed by Mr. Kenneth Gould, sang a variety of songs of the season. The chorus also featured the .lo- Deb-Bevs. This group of vocalists included Jody Welch, Debby Fitzgibbons, and Beverly Cherney. The drama club enacted the scenes typical of every home on Christmas Eve. This portrayal was enhanced by a back- ground of music sung by the chorus. With the holiday spirit begun at South, the students went home to celebrate Christmas and the New Year with their families and friends.

Kacik, was the comedy, OUR HEARTS WERE YOUNG AND GAY co-authored by Cornelia Otis Skinner and Emily Kimbrough. The plot of the play deals with the hilarious experiences encountered when Misses Skinner and Kimbrough, both naive young ladies, embark upon an unchaperoned voyage and tour of Paris. Cornelia and Emily must contend with Mr. Skinner who very reluctantly allows the girls to make the trip alone, and Mrs. Skinner, the domi- neering mother who is careful to make certain that both girls follow her instructions and use the handy safety pocket for their valuables. Many funny mo- ments occur when the girls meet Dick and Leo, two handsome Americans, the ship's crew, Madame Elise, and her daughter Therese, who own and run a dilapi- dated hotel in Paris, and Madame de la Droix, an act- ing instructress. Laughter was the order ofthe evening and a sign of the audience's complete enjoyment of the perform- ance. The entire cast, crew, and director can be cred- ited with a hit.
