Q ' 4 The angelic faces of the speaking chorus are peering down from the steps built by the shop class. The tableau frames were also done by the shop class.

Both the powerful Christmas assembly, enacting the Nativity, and the formal Christmas Ball expressed the vari- able moods of the season. Silver Bells shone down on the couples as they vied for the spot beneath the mistletoe. After the stiffness wore off, the girls shed their heels to do justice to the cool music of the Keynotes. The money for the Ball, earned at the football concession, was put to good use under the direction of Clova Compton and her assistant, Judy Klein. mas songs, by Mr. Coy and the band began the inspiring Christmas assembly. The story of the birth of Jesus according to St. Matthew and St.gMark waslchanted by .the speaking chorus, Miss Bright's eighth grade. While Mr. Arnold's vocal chorus with solo parts taken by Shirley Barbee, Mrs. Baier, Evelyn Duke, and Alicia Hagar, rendered appropriate carols, scenes from the Nativity were spotlighted. Taking part in the tableaux were Linda Terror as Mary, Gary Olinger as Joseph, various members of Mr. Barnes' class as shepherds and angels, and Don Samuels, David Pillott, and Lyman Gilliland as the singing Kings. t'Noel, a magnificent blending of Christ- .

Everyone had a rest, cleaned up, and yakkity-yakked until dinner at Mike Ly- man's. Lobster in the shell, shrimp, prime roast, and frog legs were the big features of the menu. The Robe at the Downtown Los Angeles Theater was appreciated by the seniors who then found it difficult to settle down to mundane sleep. Late as it was when they hit the sack, most were up early to join the Christmas crowds in rushing from store to store. There were lots of stragglers when the time came to hop the bus for Olvera Street. On arriving, the mob split up and invaded candle-making, glass-blowing, and news- paper printing shops, curio stands, and outside cafes. The tangy tacos, tamales, and enchiladas were a treat to those who sel- dom taste real Mexican food. Before heading for home, the kids stopped at Chinatown.
