High School Students Present Annual Thanksgiving Program
A group of High School students under Miss Ver Heul staged the first of five annual programs before Thanksgiving. The program featured an student orchestra, readings including Autumn Thoughts, a travelogue, a Dutch song, art talk, an original play set in 1960, and a High School Reporter segment. A second division showcased Klein Jantje with five Dutch costume performers, followed by Neighbors by the Dramatic Club. A new stage is being built in the High School gymnasium. Five weeks remain in the first semester and grades can still improve.
