The first Candle and Carol Services was presented in December 1932 in the gym of the Payson Junior High School School that was located on South Main across the street from Payson Memorial Park. All of the students, teachers, and building personnel participated. The colorful presentation was staged annually until 1969, when the junior high classes were moved to the old high school building at 600 South Main.
The gym was decorated for the religious holiday. Between number sung by the students there were numerous religious tableaus were presented as part of the production. Many of our older generation look back fondly on those simpler times in our history. Sad to say, with the political correctness the world seems to be stressing today, these times could never come to pass it todays world.
