About 70 members of the mod
ern dance production group, dance
club, and physical education
group, depicted the Nativity of
Christ before a record-breaking
crowd in the Rhythm room of
White Hall last night, in the finale
of women's Christmas activities on

'aeights, and amber lights, the per
formers impressed the audience
with their interpretation. Bible
verses read by Aimee L. Sobbot
'4l, piano compositions of Aaron
Copeland played by Miss Herm
ance Reese, of the physical educa
:ion department, and torn toms
accompanied certain portions of
he dances.
Nativity was in three parts.
.3rophecy, fulfillment, and rever
'perations. The first dance revealed
:he contact of humans with life,
:heir fear, and the need for a re
ligion. Vera J. Palmer '4l, taking
the part of Mary, and Dorothy C,
'Ellis '42, of Elizabeth, her cousin,
danced in simple, sweeping ges
tures, sharing the knowledge that
both are to conceive. After the
'girth of Christ, the third dance
;hows a joyous ' world, confident
that the new religion will spread..
Choreography for the recital
was arranged by Miss Jessie Cam
eron, assistant professor of physi
cal education, who directed the
presentation, Jean C. Craighead
'4l, and Miss Palmer.
All the energy the average per
