'HARK THE HERALD ANGELS SING!' Dictionaries list cherubim as just a little below full-grade angels and certainly the shepherds on that first Christmas must have seen some of them along with the angels proclaiming Christ's birth. These five cherubs are among many in Ann Arbor who help modern-day celebrants of Christmas worship at the manger. Selected at random from the Junior Choir of First Methodist Church, they are (left to right) Carol Johnson, Phil Ditto, Tom Hinterman, Johnny Shoemaker and Diane Scott. The choir is directed by Mrs. Richard A. Correll.
