FINE TIME HAD AT
CHRISTMAS EXERCISES
The Christmas exercises given by
the Methodist Sunday school at the
A. B. Hall on Christmas Eve were
I much enjoyed by the large audience
! who applauded and encored each of
the twenty-one numbers. * The whole
exercise was 'veil got up and each
pupil had his part well learned. The
primary class of the Sunday school
showed oir to advantage in their
parts, which took up most of the time.
Hale Schaleben and Robert Daggett
' rendered the song “Hard 1 imes in
Boyland" in a most pleasing manner,
and were accordingly encored. The
dialogue “Poor Papa’s Neckties’ was
one of the big hits of the evening,
while Helen Balderston, in her minuet
was likewise a scorer. Thelma Ells
worth preached “a modern sermon”
that was killing. Charles Sinclair
and Otto Moses rendered two very
| beautiful songs “Nazareth” and “Oh
! Dry Those Tears,’’ respectively.
The biggest hit of the evening
though was the play “Christmas at
Finnegan’s Flats,” which was both
comical and filled with the Christmas
! spirit. H. H. Hildreth, as Pat, the
owner of the flat, and Eliz.abeth
Romig, as his wife, were the hero and
heroine respectively. John Kacerosky,
as Prof. Baton the musician, was the
most comical of the cast, filling the
' play with many witty sayings,
i Supt. Hildreth for the Sunday
j school desires to thank any and all
; who were instrumental in making the
affair the big success that it was.
