THE NIGHT BEFORE morm s
"7!was the night before chr4trnast
when all through the house
Not ra creature was stirring, not
even a mouse; —
So begins one of the most beloved
of all Christmas writings. It would
be difficult to find anyone whose
memory of childhood does not as-
sociate these words with the magic
of the holiday season, to whom these
words do not bring to mind the yip,
ion of Santa and his reindeer, and
the exciting clatter of h o o fs upon
the roof,
Author of 010 Poem was
Clement Clarke MoPre, an aloof pro-
fessor of reek and Oriental liter-
ature in the Episcopal Seminary in
New York. Pr. Moore did not write
the poem for publication. He wrote
it on Christmas Eve, 1/322, for the
enjoyment of his seven children.
It happened that on this partico-
jar Christmas Eve a relative w a s
visiting the Moore family, She put
a copy of the poem in her diary,
The following holiday season, the
relative's father sent a copy, onsigned
as to author, to a newspaper.
Other newspapers picked up the
jingle and printed it in their columns.
The poem quickly became known,
loved, and repeated each Christmas
throughout the country.
Dr. Moore was not pleased, In
fact, he was embarrassed. He felt
it beneath the dignity of a man of
his scholastic reputation to author,
of children's verses.
'As time went on, the poem became
increasingly more famous and Dr.
Moore, perhaps upon the urging of
his proud family, finally admitted
authorship, More than two decades
after he penned the poem at the
family fireside the jingles were pub-
lished in book form, under his name,
Today, the world remembers Dr.
Clement Clarke Moore not as a
scholar, nor as a teacher, but as
author of one of the world's most
beloved Christmas poems.

SANTA
By Shirley McFadden
Grade 5 — Centennial
Santa Clause, so merry and
bright,
Santa Clause, he'll be coming
tonight,.
So be in bed at eight o'clock,
And he will come and fill your
sock.
He'll come whistling down the
chimney,
And go straight to his work,
And when he is completed he'll
turn with a jerk.
He will rise up the chimney,
Then spring to his sleigh
And I'll out my window,
As he drives away.
CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS
By Jackie Koene
Gr ade 7 — Centennial
Christmas trees are bright again,
With tinsel, stars and lights.
When children think of Santa
Claus
For toys and shiny bikes.
For little girls, about four or so,
A cuddly doll with curls and a
bow,
For little boys, the mechanic
type,
A little car with a big bright
light.
For mother, well that's a
different thing,
Some dishes, towels or maybe a
ring,
For father, girls say it's hard to

THE UNUSUAL CHRISTMAS
By Peter Gill
Grade 8 — Grand Beend
My wife put the kids to bed
around about eight. Then we
arranged the gifts around the
tree that were supposedly from
Santa.
After this episode, we sat
down to watch the late news.
After the news I ate the cookies
and drank the milk that the
children left for Santa so they
would think he was there.
I was making sure the lights
were out when I heard a noise at
the window, Hiding behind the
sofa, I viewed a man dressed in
red with white fur trim and he
was fat and had a brown sack
swung over his back. It was
Santa Clause but there was no
such thing. He s just a legond.
He waddled over to the tree
and stuck his beard into the sack
and pulled out a toy dump truck
for Jimmy and a doll for Susan.
Then he plopped down in a chair
and closed his eyes. Ten minutes
later he awoke and said to
himself aloud, "Well its time to
go," and he climbed up out of
the chair and walked over to the
window, paused and then out he
went.
I moved quietly to observe
how he got to the sled because
there was no possible way for
him to get to the roof or the
ground without jumping or
climbing up a ten foot span to
the roof which was totally
impossible. When I got to the
window I noticed that there
were no trackes in the snow and
I should have heard him if he
was on the roof. He must have
flown. Mmm thats strong! Then
off in the distance I spied a man
flying through the air like a bird.
It just doesn't seem possible but
it was true I saw him with my
very own eyes! Yes, it was true!
THE TRUE CHRISTMAS
By Ruth Zielman
Grade 6 — Stephen
Every year that glorious
time comes around again.
Christmas! But most people
forget the real meaning.
Christmas means the Baby
Jesus, the shepherds, the
manger, where Mary lay the
baby down to rest. It's fun
to receive gifts. Its fun to
have a Christmas tree. But is
that what Christmas really
means?
Christmas is exciting for all, For everyone on Christmas Eve,
The rich, the poor, the small and Dream of what jolly Santa might
tall, leave.
