CHRISTMAS SEASON DECORATIONS at the Hershey Chocolate Corporation are
being installed in preparation for "light-up time" On Thanksgiving Day evening. In
photo above, George Gish (left) and Harold Hamilton mount ladders to place the
wiring on the ivy-covered walls while — in picture below — Kent Boyer, Richard
Williard and Foreman Joseph Hershey complete a wreath in the shop as the Choco-late
Corporation electricians near the end of their preparations. ,
The display, which annually attracts the eyes of many visitors as well as local
residents, this year will feature large, lighted "swinging" bells — three to each of
the three panels of the exterior walls. Timed circuits of the bells' wiring will give the
illusion of swinging. Nearly 1600 lamps will go into the holiday display.

School's Glee Club Keeps Busy With Concert Schedule
The current edition 'of the
Milton Hershey School Glee
Club is seriously into the busi-ness
of maintaining the wide
renown it has acquired over
the years, with perhaps an
added laurel or two to its
growing fame.
Already this year the young
• singers have had nine con-cert
appearances. The variety
of the occasions demonstrates
the versatility which is one of
the earmarks of the club.
They have appeared at ban-quets,
churches, conventions
and professional conferences
throughout Central Pennsyl-vania
— among them the re-gional
meeting of state educa-tors
and the worldwide con-ference
of the Evangelical
United Brethren Church, both
in Harrisburg. They also
sang during the recent state-wide
convention of Student
Councils, when the Hershey
Junior College was host.
Next Sunday will, find the
boys at Olivet Presbyterian
Church in Harrisburg, and
December will bring four
more public appearances, in
addition to their usual corn-
,
munity caroling.
Their schedule is already
nearly completed well into the
Spring of 1959, with only a
few open dates remaining.
Some requests are on file for,
1959-60.
Director of the 40-voice or-ganization
is Virgil L. Alex-ander,
whose untiring de-mand
for musical excellence
and sensitive interpretation
are largely responsible for the
present enviable status of the
glee club.
Alexander insists that the
