Jaycee Jargon
The month of December and
the days of the Christmas Sea
son are spoken of and described
in sentimental terms unmatched
by any other time of the year.
The stir of nostalgia for the
memories of youth is not very
difficult for even the most ch
ronologically advanced during
this the Holy Season.
It is true that many things
have changed in the world of
which we are a part, and many
of the Old World traditions have
been abandoned. But the spirit
of Christmas, of giving, of do
ing, of sharing, is still as rich
in the hearts of gentle people
as ever it was.
There are still those who get
misty when a radiant bride ap
pears in the doorway of a ch
urch or when a chubby baby
spreads his face into a smile
showing a single new tooth, or
when a colorful high school band
breaks into the National Anthem
and Old Glory emerges atop a
frosty flag pole and stirs brief
ly in the gentle breeze. These
are the same people who can
well appreciate the feeling of
a numb fingered man and his
buddy, probably both between
the ages of 21 and 35, as they
plod through the mud and cold
to place in the arms of a tous
el haired girl a small doll.
It doesn’t need to be a fancy
doll, just so long as it re
sembles the baby she once was
and one she can cuddle like
she might not have been cud
dled when her age and size
was that tender.
Or the friendly men in the
ged jackets (that have an out
line of the State of Georgia ana
the word “Jaycees” lettered in
Christmas arrived in dim
ming Saturday night, and it was
certainly the weather for it!
A shivering, but congenial,
bunch of folks attended the
Lighting Ceremonies on the
Courthouse Square, and listened
to music by the Red Peppers
and the Youth Choir, and saw
the lights come on you can
see pictures of the event else
where in the NEWS this week.
It was quite a hustle to get
the Peppers out of one cos
tume and into another, as most
of them are also Choir mem
bers! As always, it was good
to hear and see our young peo
ple producing some good mu
sic.
The 20th Annual High School
Music Festival and the 17th An
nual Conference on School Mu
sic will be held at the Univer
sity of Georgia this Saturday,
December 6, and some of our
F.o.C. members will attend.
Chosen as one of the 125 mu
sicians in the Honor Band to
perform at this occasion was
Keith Sewell, bass player with
the F.o.C. Several nomina
tions were made by Director
Lon Turner, and Keithwas cho
sen to represent us on this au
spicious occasion. Last Janu
ary, over 1500 students from 140
Georgia high schools participa
ted in this Festival.
The schedule includes all -
day rehearsals of the band, with
an exqiting concert being pre
sented that evening. An or
chestra and chorus are also a
part of this event.
The Fabulous Flashes will at
tend a twirling clinic Saturday,
as a part of the Music Festi
val. They will be assigned to
classes according to their lev
el of accomplishment, and will
work on competition routines
and individual problems. Phyl
lis Dancz, of the University of
Georgia, will direct the instruc
tion, with the assistance of many
of her student members of the
Dixie Redcoat Band’s Twirling
Corps.
This is just one of the many
“extra” events our kids at
tend and take part in each year.
Added to an already-busy pre
holiday schedule, this is quite
an added responsibility. F.o.C.

with chapped lips who has been
out gathering in wood or coal
for the heater that is the means
of keeping the family warm and
is now sitting quietly thinking
of the shiny toy he saw in a
circular received in the mail
box. He is excitedbeyondcom

cycle, obviously owned before
by a youngster who did not ride
very well, and set it on the
weather beaten porch for the
youngster to admire and try
out when weather will permit.

that it is well worth it!
Christmas music is ringing
out from within the hallowed
halls of the bandroom these days
as the Flash of Crimson and Red
Flames prepare for the big Co
ncert, "Christmas 15......” tobe
presented December 18 in the
cafeteria at Forsyth County
High.
As always, we will try to of
fer music to suit everyone’s
taste, and we hope it will be
a colorful, exciting, meaning
ful evening for you in the midst
of a rushing holiday season.
Like I said before, there is
just nothing like seeing and
hearing a group of youngsters
perform Christmas music
so many feel that Christmas is
FOR the young and the young
in heart. If that be the case,
then do join us on December
18, for an evening well spent.
