 I Since January of 1953 when ground was broken for the new elementary building, pictured on the preceding pages, and the shop building, pictured above, we have kept our eyes on the construction of these two buildings. We all hoped that the shop building might be occupied by the second semester of the 1953-1954 school year; but from the time that the first snow blanketed the ground, it was evident that our dream would not be fulfilled. We are now eagerly anticipating full occupancy of the new buildings when school opens in September, 1954.

The Christmas program presented by the Girls’ Glee Club, under the direction of Mr. Ross Robbins, was one of the highlights of the holiday season. As in the past, the concert was given in the school auditorium the Sunday before Christmas. The first part of the program was composed of secular compositions. In addition to the songs sung by the entire group, Carolyn Long, Cecelia Reeves, and Doris Tudor sang “Christmas Island,” and then these girls were joined by Shirley Gates, Mary Ann Liszak, Sandra Seabold, and Barbara Zimmerman for the singing of the “Carol of the Bells.” Ruthanne Gaugh, Susan Mason, Carol Pfister, and Judy Randall sang “Jolly Old Saint Nicholas.” For the second section of the program the Glee Club wore choir gowns. After the processional, the girls grouped themselves into the shape of a Christmas tree while eight singers wearing white surplices formed a cross. The second part of the program was of a religious nature. Interspersing the numbers which the entire group sang were “O Holy Ni ht,” which was sung by the ensemble, and “Jesus Our Lord,” which was sung by Joann Jackson, Shirley Cantrell, Judy Risner, Pat Smith. Pat Tobias, and Barbara Herring. As a solo, Shirley Gates sang “Sweet Utile Jesus Boy.”
