Photo of the Week

Christmas time at old Cristobal High School. This photo of the 1950 Cristobal High outdoor Christmas pageant was sent to me by CZ Images contributor Andrew Fraser. Although you can't really see the faces in this reduced size, Andrew identified these people:

Identifiable in the picture - as Andrew remembers,

Back row, 7th from the left: Diane Scheidegg

Back row, 4th from the right: Marie Fraser

2nd row from top, 9th from the left: George Bennett

2nd row from top, 11th from the left: Gil Smith

Band:

1st row from left, third back: Andy Fraser

2nd row from left, 2nd back: John Albright

French horn on Mr. Jorstad's left: Nellie Holdgerson

1st trumpet: Johnny Pabon

The school Christmas shows we had back in the Canal Zone were so grand!! Note the live scenes in the upper windows. The Three Wise Men, The Manger, and Trumpeting Angels.

Life was good!

Another great piece of our Canal Zone history!
