tree Of Light Ceremony Dec. 19
The forty fourth annual Tree
of Light Pageant—the Christmas
gift of the Municipal Govern-
ment to it’s citizens, and to the
strangers within it’s gates, will
take place on Wednesday, De-
cember 19th at 7 o’clock on the
terrace and in the garden of the
City Hall.
The program will consist of
three parts—a Band Concert, the
program of Carols played on the
chimes, the procession of lantern
bearers, followed by the Can-
tata and Tableaux.
The program is dedicated to
the memory of Leonard A.
House, who, from 1919 through
1960 was associated with the
Tree of Light program, and for
thirty five years played t h e
chimes, returning for this occa-
sion after he moved away from
the city.
The Austin High School Band,
under it’s director, Devon Floyd,
will play a thirty minute pro-
gram of Christmas music. Some
of the numbers to be heard are.
“Winter Carnival” by Stuart,
“Jingle Bells Rhapsody” by Pier-
point, “Spirit of Christmas” by
Buctel. David Wuliger will play
a medley of Christmas Carols
on the chimes before and after
the pageant.
At 7:45 p.m. the procession of
lantern bearers will begin. This
procession is a very colorful one.
About two hundred boys and
girls from the Recreation Cen-
ters will carry the English type
lanterns painted different colors,
and showing lights of different
colors. The procession marches
from the Tree to the pool, and
sits around the reflection pool
with the lights from their lan-
terns reflected in the water.
The Tree of Light chorus will
sing excerpts from the Cantata,
“Sing, Oh Ye Heavens” by
Marth. As the chorus sings the
Christmas story, appropriate ta-
bleaux will be seen—“The An-
nunciation”, “The Magnificat,”
The Manger Scene and the Holy
Family visited by the Shepherds,
Wise Men and Village Children.
Jean De Young will portray
Mary, Baldwin De Young, Jo-
seph; cherub, Curtis Collins, Ga-
briel, Crae Collins, Angels,
Christy Collins and Rene Morel,
Shepherds, Tommy Culler, Cliff
Collins, Earl Foster and Wayne
Follis, Wise Men, Albert Nieto,
Dennis Biles and Don Peeples.
The / village children are from
Woodland Recreation Cento r.
Debbie Nuckols and David Stone,
from Chimney Rock and Godwin
Recreation Centers will present
the Tree to Mayor Lewis Cutrer.
who will accept it on behalf of
the City. The Rev. David F. Con-
rad, pastor of Grace Lutheran
Church, will give the Prayer of
Dedication.
The tree, a 35-foot Douglas fir
from Colorado, which will have
streamers of different colored
lights on it, will be erected by
the Parks Division, and will be
turned on each night from De-
cember 19 through December 31.
The program has been arranged
by the Recreation Division. Gus
H. Haycock is the director of
Farks and Recreation rt-
ment. Ric Richardson will be at
the console of the Hammond
Organ.
Birth And Life Of
Christ Sermon Topic
The great significance of the
birth and life of the Master.
Christ Jesus, will be emphasized
at Christian Science services
Sunday.
Scriptural reading will include
the account in Matthew of wise
men who followed a star to
Bethlehem: “And when they
were come into the house, they
saw the young child with Mary
his mother, and fell down, and
worshipped him: and when they
had opened their treasures, they
presented unto him gifts; gold,
and frankincense, and myrrh.”
From “Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures” by Mary
Baker Eddy the following will
be read (p. 315): “Jesus’ spiritual
origin and understanding enab-
led him to demonstrate the facts
of being,—to prove irrefutably
how spiritual Truth destroys ma-
terial error, heals sickness, and
overcomes death. The divine
conception of Jesus pointed to
this truth and presented an il-
lustration of creation.”
The Lesson-Sermon is entitled
“Is the Universe, Including Man,
Evolved by Atomic Force?”
