Christmas. Good King Wenceslas Play. c. mid 1940s.<\/p><\/div>\n

Margaret Motter<\/a>, PMSS publicity representative in the late 1940s, wrote the talk, “Christmas at Pine Mountain<\/a>,” to present before groups to raise funds for the School. The following excerpt from her speech describes the students’ presentations of “The Twelve Days of Christmas” song and the “Good King Wenceslas” play:<\/p>\n

At the conclusion of supper, the girls from another house, dressed in medieval costumes, assemble on the balcony and sing, \u201cThe Twelve Days of Christmas,\u201d which proves to be a very colorful and interesting drama when all the little wooden figures mentioned in the carol appear on the balcony rail.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

On Wednesday at the School we have a special Christmas assembly with scripture read, carols sung, a drama of \u201cGood King Wenceslas\u201d and \u201cHere We Come a-Wassailing.\u201d The children always love this assembly.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
