Wilson High School chorus has presented several programs this year to stim- ulate an interest in music in both the community and school. The traditional Christmas Program was presented on December 12 at 8:00 P.M. in the auditorium. It was divided into two parts. On the lighter side, the chorus sang 'Twas The Night Before Christmas complete with Santa's laugh. The second part, of a more serious nature, featured sacred music. The processional was very impressive. Lighted candelabras fur- nished the only lighting for the stage.

The band, which is composed of sixty- eight members, will be well-remembered for its drills at the Senior Homecoming. The Model-T which the Seniors raffled off inspired the band to do a Model-T formation. As the proceeded down the field a flat developed. A tire pump saved the situation, and soon the now repaired formation, playing My Merry Oldsmobile , rolled along. Another good block-letter formation was the formed in honor of Coach Carey's accomplishments. The band's entertainment during the halves of the games was greatly appreciated by all the spectators. 70
