CHARMING CONCERT
EY SCHOOL CHILDREN
The school children of Me
Carthy put. on their annual Chr
istirias enterlaim e lit Xmas eve
i
in t lie Pioneers Hall and in ret.
ui'n were re war i *d by a visit
later in the evening i'r nil Santa
Cl ms who dispensed presents
lavishly from an overladen tre •.
Tin* program was of a pat
riotic ti nor called ‘'Hollowing
the Stars and Stripes” and cons
isted of a number of old and fam
il ar patriotic airs remleied ferv!
i
• ■ntly with high childish treble.1
Several sacred anthems approp
ri te to the occasion were also:
■endered.
Tit.' scarcity of sr-hnc! child
ren rendered it impossible to
pur a >ageant such as was furn
ished 1 ist yo u- but the largo and
ience were none tin* loss apprve
iative of the effort, to bring home |
to all the spirit of the day and
in which the children succeeded
so well. As usual Mrs. Harrais
had spared no effoi't to train the
children for the concert and was
as usual, highly successful desp
ite many obstacles and difficult
ies.
The children in all parts
were excellent and portrayed the
scenes in most realistic manner.
Leonard and Graham 'brought
down the house’ with their recit
at ions vr idle Marion, Verna, Janus
Margaret and Louise also gave
very realistic renderings of the
old poems of the Revolution and
Civil war periods Frankie gave
an excellent interpretation of
‘The Indian’s Story” and “Hats
I off! The Flag goes by."
The Kennecott children also
furnished a lovely concert on
Xmas eve to a packed hall and
i were visited by Santa Claus after
: he had bade farewell to McCarthy.

XMAS SMOKER /
DELIGHTS FANS
T!ie big Christmas day Smo
k *r hold yesterday in the Pion
eer’s li'di was a. special treat to
the large number of fistic fans
who turned out to witness it.
Myles Jones had arranged
ah details so that everythin*?
moved smootlily and the well
m itched houts. both main and
preliminary, delighted the pack
ed hail.
t
Tiie Endgett ‘Twins’ stepped
four l\ist. rounds, forgetting all
brotherly love for the time much
to the d«'light of the crowd.
Kid Mackey and Curley Smith
both of Kennecott renewed old
hostilities again and again the
former demonstrate i I,is super
iwity, flooring his opponent twice
in the second round. Smith, how
ever, displayed great gameness
in always coming back for more
until his second threw in the
sponge at the end of the second
to save him further punishment,
much to the disgust of Curly.
The main bout between Red
Campbell and the Cook’s Inlet
! Kid was all that could be hope i
; for. They mixed freely in spots
but in the main Red stuck faith
fully to the idea of falling into a
clinch. Both showed considerable
'cleverness with Red perhaps hav
ing a slight edge. This, however,
| was offset by the better condit
' ion and hitting ability of the Kid
The referee declared the bout
a draw
