MEMBERS OF THE Concert Choir add their voices in the Christmas program with such songs at 'AO Magnum Mysteriumu and Lullay My Likingf' MITCHELLS COMBINED CHOIRS blend their voices in What God Ordains is Always Good, by Johann Sebastian Bach. CC 79 A THING OF BEAUTY Choral groups at a new school can be organized only through the help of the school counselors and are built on the foundations laid by the music teach- ers of the schools from which the students are drawn. Such songs as This Little Babe, What Child is This, and 'SSleep of the Infant Jesusl' were sung with enthusiasm in the spirit of the season. How Brightly Shines the Morning Starn was sung by the Girls Concert Choir. The Boys Double- Octet sang Break Forth, O Beauteous, Heavenly Light, and Thee With Tender Care I'll Cherishl' by Bach. In addition to the Combined Choirs and individual groups, the string ensemble added music to the Christmas program. Mr. D. Dean DeLaney, director of the string en- semble, Mr. Norm Smith, and Mr. Archer Hayes, con- ductor, worked together to bring the parents and stu- dent body Mitchell's first Christmas program.

Humor and Talent John Patrick's Teahouse of the August Moon, the first play at Mitchell High School, was presented under the direction of Mr. J. D. Barnes and student director Carlotta Frank on November 19 and 20. What happens to an attempt to modernize an Okinawan village is the theme of this three-act com- edy. This play has been produced as a movie and on Broadway. No production is possible without the back-stage crews and they never receive due credit. Teahouse of the August Moon is a complicated technical show requiring an efficient crew, remarked Mr. Barnes. In charge of important jobs are assistant director, Carlotta Frankg scenery co-heads, Marla Jackson and Robin Mazeyg lighting co-heads, Roger Doss and Greg Hamilton, property head, June Lawson, public- ity head, Judy Rice, costumes head, Nancy zmn- Brunneng make-up head, Lee Edmonds, and sound head, Marty Johnson. .
