1953 Christmas Pageant
The Christmas Pageant was started in 1932 by Principal Rondthaler who based it on a German passion play that he and his wife witnessed while bicycling through Europe. During the Christmas Pageant students wore beautiful velvet costumes and portrayed six tableau poses depicting the birth of Jesus. The performance had the appearance of a portrait as the students posed within a large golden frame as choruses of primary, grammar and high school students sang carols. George and Harriet Moody assumed the leadership of the Christmas Pageant in 1945 through 1956. The Pageant continued through 1961.
