other Bering Theater personnel and the
Chaplain’s yeoman who helped make Thur
sday's party an enjoyable one.
Special thanks to Santa Claus Quinn
for his able assistance at the Child
ren's party and to Santa Clau's Robinson
for adding to the gaiety of the Teens
party at Hammerhead Lodge.
Thanks to the Protestant Women's
Group and the others who volunteered
assistance during the busy pre-Christ
mas week in wrapping nearly 600 gifts
for the Children's andTeen's Christmas
parties.
Orchids to the above mentioned
people.
It was reported that the number of
gifts in the 10 to 12 year old qroup
was short by a few gifts,in the child
ren's party at Bering Theater. This
was a surprise, since it is known that
enough extra gifts were purchased for
all age groups to take care of any new
children who might come to the Island
between the time they were bought and
the time of the party.
The mystery cleared up Thursday
Evening when it was reliably reported
that a number of "children" above the
age of twelve had been seen receiving
gifts. The men handing out the gifts
had no time to ask for proof of age.
They had to trust that the children
. were honest and some children went
home with a less fitting gift than had
been intended.
Gifts for those students over twelve
were given out Thursday Evening at the
Teen Party. If there were those teen
agers who did not intend to come to
the Teens party they would only have
needed to say so- and could havereceiv
a more appropriate gift without having
to attend the party.
Onions to those few who read the
Plan of the Day and Adak Sun and-knew
the age limits as published therein
for the parties but did not pay any
attention to it.
Anyone seen the Ghost of the Willi
waws lately? Seems like he’s been so
busy stirring up the weather he hasn't
been able .to submit a column to these
pages for the past 2 we:ks. Lets hope
that next week he'll find time to give
us some of his choice tidbits of-info
and news about the island that we miss
so much. There will be a new Ghost in
February due to orders that will take
the present Ghost to Hawaii where he
will take over getting the wind up
over the Pali.
Talk about the weather and maybe
some of the avid sports fans enjoy it
but not our Public Works crew.who were
and still are bury trying to keep up
with it. This isn't any eight hour,
40 hour job either r- A vote of thanks
to all of you.
