The Concert Choir performed fifteen selections in the Christmas Concert. Some of their numbers were “Silent Night”, “Christmas Was Meant for Children”, and selections from Handel’s “Messiah” which included the Hallelujah Chorus . The intricate design of the stained glass window is shown in this picture which was taken the evening of the concert. The set gives the effect of a cathedral. Unique Set Constructed for Concert The Concert, Tour, and Sophomore Choirs presented the annual Christmas Concert on December 18 and 19 in the Shinnick Memorial Auditorium under the direct- ion of Glenville D. Thomas. The set, designed by students under the direction of Charles McCormick, was one of the most unique in ZHS history. The entire set was covered with sequins and lighting was employed producing a beautiful effect. In the center of the set was a reproduction of a stained glass window. The students working on this project were Randy Bennett, Hanna Chalcraft, Steve Moore, Terrian Paxson, Dianna Johnston, Becky Cronin, Mark Samson, Tom Hood, Wave Tyson, Mike Thompson, Paula Klass, Becky Kieffer, Rick Thomas, Debbie Ford, and Rick Mautz. Joan Blyth performed a piano solo and Ursula Hill sang “O Holy Night” as a solo. Accompanists for the concert were Joan Blyth, Karl Durst, Linda Wickline, Dianna Johnston, Kay Reynolds, Susan Edwards, and Susan Kennedy. Many traditional Christmas songs were performed along with some new numbers. Tom Hood performed a solo of T'was the Night Before Christmas” w'hile other members of the Tour Choir performed a skit.
