“LITTLE MATCH GIHL”
Did. you remember the story of
the Little Match Girl? If so, fine;
if not, the members of Orchesis,
under the direction of IMrs. Bailey,
refreshed vour memory with a pro
gram based on the story presented
on Wednesday, December 14, at
8:30 p.m. in the auditorium.
The story of the Little Alatch
Girl was vudtten by Hans Chris
tian \nderson and tells about the
oriihan child who, as she was wan
dering about the streets on an icy
Christmas Eve, spied a house
ablaze with lights. Peeping m one
of the windows, the little girl dis
covered a beautiful Christmas tree
surrounded by the most "’onderfu
tovs she had ever seen. The small
ch'ild had onlv two matches left,
and as she struck one, to her
amazement the toys seemed to
come alive and began to dance.
The little match girl, played by
Ann Thompson, watched as the
many toys danced. Betsy Nichols
was a bouncy Jack-in-Box, Gay
Davis was a baby-doll, and Erwin
Parrot, Susan Poe, and Celeste
Barnette [lortrayed candy canes.
The parts of the ballet dolls were
danced by Edith Alston and Brooke
Davila, while Tricia Armstrong rep
resented a toy soldier. A Russian
gypsy doll was Carlton Savage’s
part, and Hadley Morgan, Alar-
garet Midyette, Diane Keyes, and
Alice Wilson represented a toy
train. Ann Osterman, .Jean Flana
gan, Martha Pat Bell, and Pris
cilla Lyerly represented the vari
ous Christmas tree ornaments.
merry CHRISTMAS!

Christmas Party
On Monday, December 12, the
circle had in the gym a Christmas
party which was enjoyed by all
the students. Refreshments, enter
tainment by the Cold Cuts, and
a visit by Santa Clause made the
evening complete. The Circle's
main project at the moment is mak
ing plans with the Beacon for im
proving the Hut. Plans as to exact
ly what is to be done are indefi
nite, but they hope to make the
Hut a nicer j)lace to visit. As most
people know, the Circle members
are selling St. Mary’s mugs for
$2.25, and they also keep the cal
endar in the covered way uj)-to-
date. We hope to hear more aliout

On November 21, the Beacon
tapped four new members: Gladys
Canada, Mary Myers, Elaine
Graybill, and Martha Tem])le.
Now including the old members
(Haynes Walker, Barney Walker,

there are eight members who are
hoping for a good year. The Bea

refurnish the Hut, and, the mem
bers are selling St. Alary’s post
cards, decals, letter stickers, and
coat hangers. Every year at May
Day the Beacon sells refreshments.
