PAGE EIGHT Pageant Presented By School Children Scene of Nativity With Singing of Lovely Carols Results in Inspirational Program By MRS. B. C. THOMAS The annual carol service presented by the music depart ment of the city schools of Klamath Falls, was held at the Methodist church, Sunday afternoon at half past three o'clock, under the direction of Miss Lillie Darby. A few new and many famil iar old carols were sung by the choruses of children from the seventh and eighth grades, assisted at the two pianos by Miss Ola Mae Hough of Roose velt and Mrs. Eleanor Robin ion of Fairview school. The first number, "O Tuneful Hosts," by the girls' chorus was followed by "Silent Night" hummed by the four part chorus of girls and boys. Mrs. David Burgoyne of Mills school played the vio lin accompaniment for mem bers of the echo choir seated in the gallery at the rear of the auditorium. One of the outstanding numbers was, ":Fairest Lord Jesus," with this choir of high voices sing ing the obligate part. There was something thrilling and angelic in these pure, clear, childrens' voices. After the anthem, "O Holy Night," and the carol, "O Little Town of Bethlehem," was given the beautiful violin solo, "Ave Maria," played by Mrs. Bur goyne, accompanied by Miss Hough. At this point the Angel of Annunciation entered slowly from the right. The part was .' taken by Nina Robertson of Mills and she read the Christ mas story as given in the Gos pel according to Luke.. Her voice was strong and clear. Her readings tied the pageant and carols together. Mary, played by Juanita Shinn, and Joseph, played by Henry Schortgen, seated themselves near a manger illuminated by li-ht rv,i v.. .!; light During the singing of carols the Shepherds appeared and knelt before the manger. After reading the story of the coming of the Magi, the three wise men appeared, each bearing a gift carried by lave, and these gifts . were presented while the chorus sang, "We Three Kings of the Orient Are." Then a group of little angels appeared carry-' lng lighted candles and stood near the nativity scene. Eigh teen children dressed In the costumes of foreign coun tries came forward and stood before the altar. Tha children taking part in the pageant were under tha direction of Miss Frances Dix, auditorium teacher at Mills school. They showed an atti tude of reverence and entered Into the spirit of the Christ mas story. After the offertory the ac tors in the pageant moved lowly back down the aisle while the entire chorus sang "Now the Day Is Over." This was followed by the Benedic tion song from Wagner's op era, "Parsifal," the words "Bring Peace on Earth, Holy, Holy, Lord," touched all hearts. These choruses have main tained the high plane of ex cellence established in the past by Miss Darby. Their work was tone perfect, with fine smoothness, and splendid response of feeling In singing. Klamath Falls is to be con gratulated on having such a capable music department in the schools. This pageant was worthy of production in a large auditorium where all who love music could hear it.
