'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.

Mrs. Arthur W. Stalker, assisted by E. E. Calkins, turned the first sod for the new First Methodist church at ground-breaking ceremonies yesterday afternoon. In the construction of the new church Mrs. Stalker is seeing realization of the hopes of her husband, the late Dr. Stalker, pastor of the church for 25 years, who died eight years ago yesterday. Dr. Charles Brashares, (at the left), the present pastor, watched as the two turned the first spade of sod. Mr. Calkins is president of the board of trustees of the church.
