There were many strange looking animals on the stage at Huron Centennial School Wednesday night as the school presented its annual Christmas concert. nut on by the By Laurel Peckitt, Huron Centennial Through the sky Santa flew, Bringing gifts for me and you, He passed a star twinkling bright, And he kept on going through the night. In front of the sleigh nine reindeer stood, And they pulled that sleigh as fast as they could. They landed carefully on every roof, Being sure that They walked on the tip of each hoof.. Down each chimney and through"each house, Santa crept as quiet as a mouse. At one o'clock it started snowing, But lovable Santa kept on going. He had to deliver each and every gift, Or kids would think he was just a myth. So he told Rudolph (who was in the lead] hat they would have to gain some speed. So Rudolph withhis nose so red, - junior grades. Here the Grade 2B. class had painstakingly made animal masks for their skit, The Animals Christmas. (News -Record photo) Nodded his head and away they sped. At six o'clock they saw the sun, And before they knew it they were done. And do you know what they did before they went home? Well, up in the sky they wrote this poem, "We leave with you some Christmas cheer, And we'll be back again next year." By Becky McKinley, Huron Centennial There was once a boy from Alberquerque, and his name was Pete. He was the naughtiest boy you probably will ever see. On Monday he put a tack on the teachers chair, on Tuesday,,he tied a knot in Susie's hair. On Wednesday he climbed a tree and tore his pants; and on Thursday, he filled the sugar bowl with ants. WHAT NEXT? Well, on Friday, he did the whole procedure over again. He . wasn't ex- pecting it but he got sent down to the office! Well, he didn't like that. But he kept doing things that got naughtier annaughtier every day! Finally, his mother said to Pete, Chrismas.is . .

But what it means, to me -As. when Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem. Angels came and told the shepherds to follow the brightest star in the sky. If they did they would find a babe wrapped in linen cloth lying in a manger beside the manger in a stable would be the mother Mary and the father Joseph. As he grew older 'he became more faithful in God. He knew why he had come to earth for God told Jesus that he would die for his people's sins. So be more loving at Christmas time, ,when you .have `tizn ithink bout the babe that •'was born in Bethlehem. "You better start being good for a change or Santa Claus won't come to our house for Christmas:" "Oh, oh! Pete had forgot that Christmas was so close. It was already the 15th. Boy, he better start behaving or he wouldn't get anything in his stocking. Well finally it ' was Christmas Eve, so Pete hung up his stocking. He thought he had been pretty good during the last few weeks, but he hadn't. The next morning, Pete got up at 6:00 and ran down the stairs to see what he got. He could see some bumps in his stocking so he reached in. Pete felt three things so he picked them out one by one eventhough they didn't feel to good. The first one was potatoe, the second was a rotton pumpkin, and third, two rotton eggs thatsmelt to high heaven. So what the moral of the story is - "You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout I'm telling you why, Santa Claus is coming to town!" What's Christmas? By Danny Horton, Huron Centennial. Ci\ristmas is coming but we don't no what to do. - We decorated the tree and it looked like brand new. Presents were gathered and put under the tree; There was gifts 'for you and me. It was Christmas eve and Santa had came. We were happy with our presents that he had brought. Now Christmas is all over and done and everyone has had there fun. By David Moffatt Huron Centennial Twas the night before Christmas and all through the kitchen, Not a creature was stirring nor scratching nor itchen. The stockings were hung up by rabbit snares. And the -whole of our family was snorin upstairs. With me and my wife all snuggled in the sheets, had just came from the bathroom after taking out our teeth. I rose my head, and what did I hear A minuture sleigh and 8 tiny reindeer. With a jolly old tub so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be Saint Nick. I heard him again and I very much eiuote. "On Dasher, on Dancer, on Prancer and Vixen, on Comet;lon Cupid, on Donner and Blitzen". "Now land on that roof, or it's straight to the super- market full sale on the hoof." I heard him again, this time the last, "Merry Christmas to all I have to get home if not, i'll fast. By Brad Holmes, Huron Centennial To have fun. Getting all of your family together and opening "gifts. Then there is your dog who likes to play in the Christmas wrappings from all of the presents. Not all life is jolly for Santa Claus as the Grade 4 class at Hullett Central School showed. For their part in the school's Christmas concert the class presented a play .on the kidnapping of Santa. (News -Record photo) Jo -Anne Grunewald Huron Centennial There is this little boy at school one day. Who asked the teacher "what is Christmas" "what does it mean?" The teacher knew what Christmas meant and so did everyone else . in the class. So she said I know what Christmas means. but I think your classmates know it better than 1 do. Johnny, What does Christmas mean to you? Oh! Getting 'a new red fire truck. How about you Mar- tha?. Going to Grand- ma's. How about the rest of the class what's your point of view, turkey, presents, having fun in the snow, getting together with family and friends and cousins. So now what do you think Christmas is? Another thing I like about Christmas is the candy that gives you all the cavities and the turkey and cranberry sause and gravey. Then not being able to wait till Boxing Day to go outside and go skiing or go tob- boganing with your new skis or new tobbogan. 1 can remember back when I wouldn't sleep hardly all night because you Can't wait to go downstairs and see what Santa brdught me. Now I am older and see why my newpews and nieces don't sleep all night and then they are up at five -thirty or so and quietly sneak downstairs and see what they were given. That's what Christmas means to me having fun, lots of fun.
