The Men ' s Glee Club provided intermission entertainment at the annual all-student Christmas party. Dr. Elwyn Carter is seen rehearsing the orchestra and choral groups for the Christmas concert. Once again, the ballroom and the Union were filled with happy students who attended the annual all-student Christmas party, sponsored by the Student Council. The good will of Westernites was shown by the enthusiasm they displayed in con- tributing either canned goods or a sum of money for admission to the party. These items were later donated to the Salvation Army. Caroling, dancing, and special intermission entertainment added to the holiday atmosphere. The music department of Western departed from its traditional presentation of The Messiah in its 1951 Christmas concert. The three-part program consisted of readings given by Dr. Albert Becker, choruses, traditional carols, and featured the Saint Saens Christmas Oratorio, as well as a piece orchestrated by Dr. Holon Matthews.
