Beautiful Christinas Cantata At Jr. College The Christmas Cantata given by the

j Music, Physical Education, and Dramatic

Departments under the direction of Miss

Evelyn Henderson, Miss Ida Hickman, | Miss Edith Thaxton, and Miss Martha Turner was one of the most illustrative and impressive of the year. The program centered around three Tableaux and a one-act play bearing out the Christmas idea. The first tableau, “The Angels," was a scene in which five girls, dressed in long, white robes, represented the angels. The second tableau, “The Shepherds," represented the shepherds who saw the Star of Bethlehem. The last, “The Madonna,” was the scene of the birth of Christ when the people were gathered in the manger. While these scenes were being presented, the orchestra was softly playing Christmas Music. Before and between the scenes,

members of the Choir and Glee Club sang Christmas Carols which added much to the spirit and beauty of the occasion. In addition to the numbers sung by these two organizations, selections by a girls’ octette, a boys’ quar- tet, a solo by Miss Evelyn Cannon, and a duet by Miss Mary E. Boykin and Miss Mable Converse were given.

After the tableaux and songs, the Dra- matic Department presented its play “Why the Chimes Rang.” The theme of the play was the story of the chimes

I that would never ring until a perfect "ift was offered to the Christ-Child. Two hoys had planned to go to the ca-

thedral to see the crowds and to offer thii gilts but they had been thwarted because of the illness of their grand- mother. One boy managed to go with his uncle but the other stayed at home to care for an old lady who had come in out of the cold. While he is caring for her a vision appeared to him. Gifts upon gifts were offered to the Christ but the chimes did not ring. Finally the boy gathered courage and went to offer his two pennies. The chimes rang. The boy could not seem to understand that it was his gifts that had made the chimes ring. So an Angel came in and quoted the scripture “Inasmuch as ye did it unto the least of these, my breth-

Much credit is due John Cameron for the varied and colorful lights that led so much to the impressiveness of the program, and to June Turner for the attractive and interesting programs.

WPA Projects Hold Festive Open House

Open house was held by two local WPA projejcts Monday when the House Keeping Aid under supervision of Miss Lillian Rathell and the Sewing Room with Mrs. Ida Gray as foreman, welcomed 145 guests during the day as they came to visit the projects.

In the House Keeping Aid project Miss Rathell welcomed the guests and served hot chocolate and cakes. Then the visitors were shown the various aids of the project that utilized discarded clothing and household articles, convert- ing them into useful articles for the home. In the Sewing Room a display of toys made by the workers were shown and attracted quite a bit of attention and comment. Both projects carried out the Christmas motif in decorations.

The Lunchroom project at the school supervised by Mrs. Nurrie Reid has planned special menus for the week with a food chart accompanying the meal. The room also carried out the Christmas decorations with miniature trees on the table. Each day's menu is fixed on a plate and is on exhibition in the show windows of Rathell Dry Goods Co.

The Library project in the court house has a festive air also as a part of the Christmas observation and Mrs. Irene S. Money is welcoming many patrons and new readers this week as they ob- tain books for Tuletide reading.

Each project over the county is mak- ing observation of Christmas this week under their various projejet leaders and favorable comments have been made of these as the entire Holmes county WPA projects cooperate in the program planned.

Mrs. Ethel Stewart of Kosciusko, dist- rict supervisor of the House Keeping Aid, was a visitor at the open house

Many Lexingtonians have been noted on tho capital city’s busy streets the past week.
