"In Celebration of Christ," a musical drama portraying events leading to and including Christ's triumphal entry, cruci- fixion and resurrection, was presented under the direction of Bob Finkbiner, prin- cipal and teacher of grades four through six at the local church school. Finkbiner urged the audience to become part of the drama as a palm-branch waving crowd cheered the Messiah they supposed would bring deliverance from detested Roman bondage, then through the narrative to a view of Jesus, crushed with the sins of the centuries, longing for reassurance from Brewster, Wash., students portray the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
