The annual Christmas tree celebra
tion of the children of St. Joseph’s
Sunday school was held at Hegg’s
hall Friday evening of this week, and
notwithstanding the inclement weather
j a large number of friends and parents
of the children were present.
The hall was prettily decorated in
keeping with the occasion. The stage j
was set to represent the cave at Beth-J
lehem. In the center stood the man
ger containing the little infant, with
an angel on either side. The angels)
were impersonated by Betty Sheffler \
and Grace Dooley. The lights were
turned out except for one directed on
the child in the manger, and the Sun
day school class sang “Silent Night,
Holy Night.”
During the program there was a
demonstration of knowledge by the
, winners of different medals. Beverly
McKenney was the prize winner of
the gold medal for general excellence
and knowledge of the Christian doc
trine. In the second class Alice
O’Neill was the winner of a silver
medal, and Margaret Porter of a pre
mium. In the third class premiums
were awarded to John Lydick. Jr..
Phillip O’Neill, Patsy Sheffler and
Carl Rosswog. Grace Dooley also was
given a premium.
After a program of recitations and
' songs, Santa Claus arrived and
amused all by his strange antics and
dances. Lovely presents and candy
were then distributed, and refresh
ments were served to all.
