SANTA VISITS CONCERT AT UNITEO CHURCH When Santa Claus reached the Unit­ ed Church during his round of the Sunday School concerts last Friday evening he found a large group of happy children and their’ parents and friends waiting for him in the gaily decorated Sunday School room, Two brightly trimmed, star-topped Christ­ mas trees flanked the platform, and evergreen boughs and poinsettias about the room provided a seasonal setting for the celebration, The children had just finished pre­ senting a fine evening of entertain­ ment to which each class had contri­ buted. Billy Hutton and David Mac­ Rae started the programme off by reciting together a verse of welcome, to which the superintendent, Mr. Lloyd Hutton, added an official wel­ come on behalf of the teachers and officers, and called on Rev. D. J. MacRae to lead in prayer. The beginners’ class, which is taught by Mrs, A. Rintoul and Mrs. R. Robinson, sang sweely “Away in a Manger". Marjorie MacKenzie’s class presented a series of nursery rhymes in verse and song, after which the classes of Mrs. A. Lunn and Mr. L. McGuire joined in a chorus and action number, "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?”. Mrs. L. -Gowdy’s girls' class offered a beautiful “Star Drill” which was followed by Mr. H. Wild’s ‘ boys who, with their hobo packs over their shoulders and their tongues in their cheeks, paced through a “Tramp Drill”. Doreen Machan’s, hoys class sang a chorus, “Oh Where -Do You Live, Santa Claus?", and the classes of Lois Walker and Lois Crawford added sm action song, “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus”. Jean Allen’s girls told in verse of the things which, added together, spell “C-h-r-i-s-t-m-a-s’’, and Jack Curries’ class followed with a "Ghost Skit”, Mrs. L. Hutton’s girls sang a very sweet lullaby song, Darling”, and Mr. W. Douglas' boys, complete with feathers and toma­ hawks sang about, "Indian Boys at Christmas”. The girls’ classes of Mrs. H. Burrell and Mrs. C. Hodgins bined to produce a well-received orous skit, “The 5.15’’ which most of the audience a few punch lines to chuckle about Then Mr. B. ’ MacIntyre's boys also did well in their comic skit. At this point the retiring superin­ tendent, Mr. Lloyd Hutton, introduced the new superintendent, Mr. Russell Zurbrigg, who takes office at the start of the new year with the good wishes of all interested in the work of the Sunday School. The Bible Class members were then • called to the platform where, with Mr. J. Reavie as soloist, they sang, “When Shep­ herds Watched Their Flocks”. A sin­ cere invitation was extended to all adults to come out with their children on Sunday afternoons and join with the Bible Class and their Reacher, Mr. Colin Fingland, in their study courses for adults. The classes of Miss P. Mr. MacRae presented scene tableau with the story told in song and verse, Christmas”. Mr. J. Wolfrey took hi? 54? class of Christmas shoppers on a rather rough bus trip which aroused tfk much laughter. And so when Santa arrived with his bag of treats everyone was in good jps spirits and welcomed him heartily as he greeted the children and sent each one home with a gift of fruit and candy. “Hush, Dolly cc>m- hum- gave good later. -McKague; pianist, Mrs. Wm. assist.
