Christmas Observance Through The Years At Local High School
A historical summary recalls how the Christmas program evolved from outdoor observances to a modern event in the new high school gym. It notes recurring choir performances, yearly speakers, occasional changes such as Handel’s The Messiah, and two cancellations due to illness in 1934 and 1945. The list of speakers over decades includes judges, governors, attorneys general, and notable regional figures. The piece ends with a garden bird care note about decorating an outdoor tree with suet and popcorn for local birds.
