Ghristnias Banquet To Be Held On December 19 On Tuesday, December 19, 1961, the traditional Christmas banquet will be given for the student body and the members of the faculty. This annual event adds just the right touch to the Christmas spirit and is a favorite occurance in St. Alary’s preparations for the holi days. The dining room will be pre pared to enhance the celebration with soft candlelight and festive decorations. Every girl will be cx- ]iected to wear clothes similar to those worn at the Thanksgiving banquet: a dress appropriate for church and heels will be fine. Through the efforts of Airs. Della Truitt and her staff this banquet will be given as a wish for all to have a verv merrv Christmas. Students Will Have Opportunity To See Famous Operetta An unusual opportunity awaits all St. Alary’s students on Decem ber 15! For the first time in many years because of exceptional vocal talent Arnahl and the Night Visi tors will be performed on the St. Alary’s stage. This well known oji- eretta, written and composed bj" the contemporary artist Giam-Car- lo Alenotti, is annually seen on the professional stage, but is seldom staged live for a collegiate audi ence. The poignant story has its setting at the time of the birth of Christ. Amahl, a crippled boy, and his mother live in the depths of desjiair and poverty and seldom know from where their next meal will come. The climax of the story is a miraculous visit by the three kings, who are on their way to Bethlehem to see the Christ Child. The outstanding consequences of this visit leave the audience filled with emjiathy with the stage actors. Portraying Amahl is Gretchen Bode, a senior at Cathedral High and also a special voice student at St. Alary’s. Nanne Chalgren, whose outstanding vocal talent is well known on our campus, plays the roll of Amalfi’s mother. The three kings, Alelchoir, Balthagar, and Kasper are jiortrayed by Dr. .James Edwards, William Stephenson, and Bill Allen. These men are well known in Raleigh for their excep tional voices. The twenty shepherds who add a touch of humor and ani mation to the play arc students who attend St. Alary’s and N. C. State. Among these timid shepherds are Sharon Finch, Alartha Wright, and Dick Alitchell, who overcome their shyness and iierform dances which are, indeed, fit for kings. Karen vom Lehm, the stage manager, and Georgia Roux, chairman of the set committee, add to the realism of the play through their many quali fied services. Under the excellent supervision of Air. Charles Billings, the dra matic director and a former Caro lina Playmaker; Aliss Geraldine Cate, the musical director; Airs. .John Kovach, the choreographer; and Carolina Alyers, Amahl and the Night Visitors will certainly be an operetta full of excellent drama, superb vocal talent, and unique dancing. See Channel 5 The Raleigh chapter of St. Alary’s Alumnae Association will be represented on ' the program “Time Out” on Channel 5 on De cember 18, 20, and 22.
