Commerce, as part of its Wide-

a Chritmas pageant on the steps of
the Wilson County Court House at

Wishing to place the true meaning
of Christmas in sharper focus, the
Chamber in association with the Wil
son Ministerial Association began
work on the pageant plans during
the summer months. Rev. James G.
Wallace, pastor of the First Chris
tian Church, was named as general
chairman of the pageant, with Dr.
Arthur D. Wenger, President of
Acc as chairman of the Script com
mittee.
The pageant, “Music of Christ
mas,” was written and is being di-
’rected by Mr. Cecil Willis, of the
AC drama department. The author
has tried to mold the more secular
and the religious aspects of the
Christmas season into a whole,
through the use of music. The pag-
oant is based on the music used in
Various lands and in different ages
® the celebration of the Christ
mas season.
Mr. Don Henshaw, minister of mu-
at the First Baptist Church, has
served as music chairman and di
rector of the fifty voice choir, which
will provide the musicial accompani
ment for the dramatic action being
portrayed on the stage. Mr. James
Cobb and Mr. Charles Rakow of the
ACC faculty have served as mem
bers of the choir, which has been
selected from the various churches
of the city.
The pageant will be presented on
a special stage, which has been con
structed by the Chamber of Com
merce. Mr. Bill Cobb Moss, Wilson
merchant and designer, has designed
a very colorful and atmospheric set
showing the square of an old world
town. Cecil Davis, George Farr and
Bill Barden of Stage and Script have
assisted in the construction of the
setting. .
Among the ACC students who will
participate in the pageant are Mary
Lu Webb, James Barbour, Zeb
Jones, James Burroughs, George
Farr, John Grady, Marty Dixon,
Fred Barber and Robert Royall.
All the students are cordially in
vited to attend the pageant, which

It is hoped that the pageant may be
come an annual event in mson
County’s observance of Christmas.
