New fgeF+R, Hope it tops every year yeti Thanks CALLAN SHOES a# Hawick Yule show Howick Central School primary grades more than packed the 'house Tuesday evening of last week when they presented their annual Christmas concert to an audience that filled the big audi- torium and created a "standing room only" situation. Visitors for this special occa- sion were handed custom‘made programs which had been indi- vidually colored by pupils for the event. The primary concert ' in- volved just about every one of the hundreds- of tiny tots ranging from kindergarten to Grade 4. Obviously a great deal of time and ingenuity went into the cos- • tuming, preparation of clever "props" and memorization of lines and lines of dialogue. Intervals between the 15 items on the program were nicely filled with brief piano offerings byya series of youngsters who in'some cases were hardly big enough to mount the piano bench. At other times a tape recorder furnished appropriate music. After opening with "0 Canada" the program proceeded with a Christmas variety package by Grade 1 under the supervision of Miss Edgar and Miss Harrison. Bright Program "The Night Before Christmas" was the offering of the kinder- garten kiddies under the direc- tion of Mrs. Underwood, followed by the primary choir directed by May all our loyal customers travel happy roads.
