After the meal, the entertain

liude, Bach and Palestrina. Ac-
comjiauying the choral group Avill

‘uior, Avill be the soloist.
Of special interest Avill be the

from the Middle Ages, Avritten by
Lloyd Pfautsch. Rodney Marsh,
he first-chair flutist from X’^eed-
ham Broughton High School Or-
hestra, along Avith Bob Brantley,

ist in this group.
A concert arrangament of “The

small group chosen from the Glee
Club to present special programs,
will sing several folk carols. Tak

chen Craig, Jeanne Smith, Jane
Williams, Dottie X’^ahikian, and
Julia Anna Leigh.
The Orchesis portion of the
Christmas iirogram Avill be the
liresentation of The Littlest Angel
as a dance drama. The narration,
under Mrs. Stanley’s direction,
Avill be done by Beverly Bailey.
This is one of the favorite Christ
mas stories of Dr. Moultrie
Guerry, Avho is the only honorary
member that Orchesis has ever
had. When this same story was
presented at St. Mary’s several
.vears ago, Dr. Guerry advised and
Avorked very closely Avith Orchesis
on the details of the program.
This is the story of a little an
gel, portrayed by Jane DeLoach,
Avho enters IleaAmn. She is greeted
by the gatekeeper, Harriet Wil
liams, and is helped Avith her prob
lems in Heaven by Susie Nagel,
the understanding angel. The
cherub tells this angel that she is
bored and has nothing to do in
lleaA'en. So the understanding
angel gives the littlest angel per
mission to haim a messenger,
(Gaye Harris) sent back to earth
to retrive one of the child’s earth
ly posse,ssions, an old box filled
AA’ith scA’eral of the child’s Avorn
plajffhings.
Soon after this, all the angels in
lleaA’cn prepare gifts to give to
the Christ Child, Avho is soon to
be born. The only gift the Littlest
Angel can give is her old box. Al
though she is ashamed of such a
poor gift, she gives it anyAvay,
and, to the surprise of the other
angels, it is chosen by God as the
best gift because of the sincerity
and genuineness Avith Avhich the
Littlest Angel gave her treasured
possession. This gift then sisrnifies
the Star of Bethlehem.
