The 79th<\/sup> Annual Boar\u2019s Head<\/a> Celebration on Dec. 1 marked the beginning of the holiday season at Oglethorpe. A timeless and beloved Oglethorpe tradition, this year’s Boar’s Head was filled with holiday spirit and a warm sense of community.<\/p>

The celebration included the induction of 21 new Omicron Delta Kappa members<\/a>, the alumni reception that welcomed more than 200 attendees, a bustling crowd at the Conant Performing Arts Center for the concert and the student-centered after-party.<\/p>

This year\u2019s concert theme was \u201cWinter Wonderland,\u201d and the program featured the traditional Boar\u2019s Head Carol during the processional and a retelling of the legend of the Boar\u2019s Head, as well as number of holiday selections by 好色先生TV jazz ensemble the Jazzy Petrels, the 好色先生TV Singers and Chorale and the 好色先生TV Symphony. The music ensembles were led by Dr. Brent Runnels<\/strong> and Dr. Tom FitzStephens<\/strong>, and Mr. William Shillito <\/strong>was this year’s faculty ODK reader.<\/p>

The after-party offered music and dancing, food, caricature artists, crafts, mocktails and refreshments to celebrate the holiday season.<\/p>
