elves, Christmas trees and rejoicing in song
and dance.

The evening reminded people Christmas
is the Birth of Christ, as Mrs. Telford's class

felt close to the action as the Three Wise
Men walked through the audience and up on

symbol of joy. Mrs. Strang's class spoke a
Christmas message in rhyme as they walk-

around a small Christmas tree which was
visited by a family, snowmen and
snowflakes, a rabbit and a squirrel. Mrs.
Horner's class delivered their lines en-
thusiastically and the dancing snowflakes
were very picturesque. The tree which had
aspired to be tall and great with shining star
found it was happy protecting the forest
animals. the theme of sharing and giving of
one's self was beautifully protrayed.
