Santa Calls at
Golden Circle

Golden Circle School was a
happy event when about 50
people gathered last Friday,
including the parents and fam-
ilies, volunteer helpers and
members of the Association.
The teacher; Mrs. Jack
Reavie, the volunteer helpers
and the nine pupils of the
school have been busy for many
days preparing for this annual
event. The school was decora-
ted with large red bows orna-
mented with golden bells and
glittering cones.
The program commenced
with a welcome song by the
pupils followed by several gos-
pel action songs and a solo. The
program included a patriotic
number and a snowman number.
The Nativity scene was nar-
rated and depicted by the pu-
pils in costume. They sang
Christmas carols. The rhythm
band played several numbers
and the program concluded
with a Mexican dance, the
dancers wearing colorful red
boleros and sashes.
Santa arrived to distribute
gifts to all from the well -laden
tree, which delighted the pu-
pils. There were also special
gifts to parents and helpers
from the children. These were
table decorations of a white
swan holding red roses or poin-
settias.
The volunteer helpers serv-
ed lunch during the social hour
which followed.
Mrs. C, R, Wilkinson gave
her report for the sick and visit-
ing committee and the treasur-
er's report was given by Mrs.
Ahara,
Mrs, Alvin Higgins read the

mittee naming the following

Mrs, G. Foxton; 1st vice, Mrs.

ry
erry Nethery; treasurer, Mrs, R.
Ahara. There were no further
nominations from the meeting,
Rev. C. F. Johnson, rector,
installed the new• executive.
Mrs. Ahara gave a short
message on "The True Mean-
ing of Christmas", pointing
first to the creche and showing
how each little figure had a
special part to play in God's
plan for the Christmas message
and the meaning which each
bore to our lives to -day. She
closed with the challenge, that
as the angels sang that first
Christmas over the hillside of
Bethlehem, we should all pray
that this true Christian Peace
may come upon the troubled
earth and joy and love grow out
of the hatred of wars and strife.
A delicious lunch was served
by Mrs. Ahara's group, which
included Mrs. Jack Hodgins,
Mrs, Gordon Davidson and Miss
Dorothe Comber.
