.7Ae 6LriJfmaJ ageanf BY FAR the most beautiful and inspiring service of the entire year, the annual Christmas pageant was again skillfully presented by Waldorf students under the guiding hand of Mrs. Odvin Hagen. Here the Christmas story was presented in such an awe-inspiring manner that it held the audience spellbound with its sheer beauty, and yet retained the loving simplicity of the event. The cast was superbly directed, and the entire pageant was so Well presented that the birth of our Lord Iesus was again placed in the hearts of the people present. The music was given by the Waldorf Choir in such a way as to fit in with the reading of the story, and form an atmosphere of reverence for each scene. The loving care and work put into the program was amply repaid by the wonderful effect it had on both par- ticipants and audience members. Always the highlight of the Christmas season, the pageant this year truly created a lasting impression of beauty.

gl 0lfl,l05 VERsA'r1LrrY was the keynote of the small, selected vocal groups which were much in demand for school, civic, and church func- tions this year. Two vocal trios: the first consisting of Ruth Peterson, Colleen Olson, and Sylvia Haugen, the second, Dorothy Field, Ramona Swenson, and Ann Leeang and two boy's quartets, the Freshman Quartet made up of Arlie Olson, Gil Olson, Marlin Ingebretson, and Howard Hovland and the Barbershop Quartet made up of Dale Peterson, Allen and Maynard Trel- stad, and Owen Olson, combined diligent work with the pleasure and fun that comes from singing in such groups. The work of these groups, offering pro- grams fundamentally religious but well- spicecl with novelty numbers, showed great promise. Emphasis was placed on a cap- pella singing, but much credit for the fin- ished groups goes to their patient accom- panist-Ruth Langfoss.
