Santa Claus delivered gifts to
each of the guests, thus revealing
secret pals. Much surprise and ex-
citement prevailed during the
revelation of these identities.
A highlight of the gift-giving
period was the collecting and ar-
ranging for pacing the gifts that
the group had brought to be sent
to Louise Anthony of Oirlstown.
With Mrs. Morrison at the organ,
the group then gathered around
the fireplace for a gala old-fash-
ioned sing-song of Christmas
carols.
Mrs. O. C. Brown and Mrs. Ruth
Dennard, sponsors « the sorority,
and Dr. and Mrs. Morrison were
presented gifts from the group,
after which the sponsors served

"CIRCLE O RANCH BOYS"
— On Tyiif Highway —
Hawkins High school was the
scene of the P.T.A. Christmas play,
Thursday night, December 11.
The program was given by the
first three grades and was direct-
ed by the music teacher, Miss
Vclmalene Hunter, and the teach-
ers of the first three grades: Miss
June Wayt, Miss Lavnrn Moore,
Mrs. Ruth Bailey, Mrs. tkina Hath-
cox, Mrs. Marie Turbcville, and
Mrs. Aver Starnes.
The choir marched in from the
back of the auditorium singing,
•O Come All Ye Faithful." They
marched upon the stage and took
their places behind a star-stud-
ded cheese-cloth curtain. And the
story was ready to begin.
The story of “The Poor Little
Match Girl" was narrated by Miss 1
Wayt, and the Little Match giri {
was Sue Ellen Crengor. The little
■last and as the match went out,
Santa and his helpers vanished.
She was colder than ever now
and another match would do some
good. 8o she struck another one
and it became one of the bright
lights that shone from the Merry
Christmas tree. The light was re-
flected in the children’s faces as
they sat around the tree. These
little children were Carolyn
Thompson, Dena Walker, George
Wilson, Glynaria Maxwell, Linda
Tate, Melba Wortham, Barbara
Wilson, David Harrell, Doris Jer-
den, William Kennedy, Lavonia
Snidher, Nathan Snider, Mildred
Burcalow, and Mary Holster. The
choir sang "O Christmas Tree,”
and as the match faded away even
so did the music and the vision.
As she lit another match she
heard from afar off the music of
the church and in the flame she

To Come Home For
Holidays Friday
Miss Patience Ann Starnes,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin
R. Starnes, 700 Tyler Road, will
come home Friday, December 19,
from the Hockaday School in Dal-
las for th« Christmas holidays.
Before leaving Dallas, she will
sample the season’s fun.
School-wide Christmas activities
at the School began Friday, De-
cember 12, with a Wassail Party
in Tarry House, the girls’ recrea-
tion center. They trimmed the
Christmas tree, sang carols, and
watched a performance of “Our
Lady’s Juggler” by the dramatics
club. The seventh and eighth grade
resident students, acting as host-
esses for the occasion, served hot,
spiced punch and plum pudding.
One of the most ambitious musi-
cal programs undertaken in recent
years was the traditional Christ-
mas vesper service this year. The
80-voice choir of the Upper School,
under the direction of Mr. Thomas
Merriman, sang in its entirety the
“Ceremony of Carols” by Ben-
jamin Britten. This work is com-
prised of medieval Christian
poems, for which Mr. Britten
wrote new music, scored for treble
voices and harp. The carols ex-
press a faith that is direct and
simple, making them especially
appropriate for presentation by
young people. The Lower School
chorus, under the direction of Miss
Anne Tackaberry, sang one of the
Britten numbers, “The Spring
Song.”
Beautiful Spencer Home Setting
For Mary Martha Christmas Party
The beautiful home of Mrs.
Fred Spencer was the setting Fri-
day night, December 12, for the
annual Christmas party of the
Mary Martha Sunday school class.
A huge Santa Claus on the front
door welcomed the guests on their
arrival and the reception rooms
were a perfect picture of Christ-
mas beauty.
Guests and class member were
welcomed by the president, Mrs.
C. N. McEachern. The traditional
Bible story of the first Christmas
was brought by Mrs. Jack Davis.
A reading “A Gift for a Lady”
was delightfully presented by
Mrs. Ruth Dennard and the whole
group joined in singing Christmas
carols.
Delicious refreshments which
carried out the holiday theme
were served to the following:
Mrs. O. R. Blackburn, Mrs. Ruth
Dennard, Mrs. L. R. Eddy, Mrs.
J. S. King, Mrs. Ames Lawrence,
Mrs B. L. Rankin, Mrs. John Grif-

she dared to pull one of the match-

tidings were the angels. The shep-
herds were Duward Hammond,
Randy Fouts. Doyle Hall, and Ray-
mond Todd. The little Angels were
Margaret Cochran, Lyndia Biv-
ings, and Annette Kirkpatrick. The
choir sang “Hear the Glad Tid-
ings” and “Echo Carol” with the
little choir doing the echo. But
as the match had biased brightly
it died as quickly and the vision
vanished.
Another match to keep her warm
—Ah! how good It felt. And as the
flame burned, it seemed as if the
light of it became the great star
that shone over Bethlehem that
first Christmas Eve. The star was
a huge silver one which was spot-
lighted against the curtain. The
choir sang "Star Of The East,”
with Theva Dale Richey and Wan-
da Dobbs singing the duet. But
even this bright star faded with
the light of the little match.
Now as she lit another match
It seemed as if all the Merry
Christmas candles rose higher and
higher until they became stars
that shone over the manger scene
on the Birth of the Christ Child.
The Wise Men, (Bob Mize, Joe
Mize, and Jimmy Cooper) were
there. Mary, (Virginia Sexton) and
Joseph, (Charles Welch) were
there. The angels and the shep-
herds were also there. And with
them were the beasts who shared
this wondrous night. There was
the camel, the donkey, the doves,
the cow, and the sheep. The choir
sang “The Simple Birth” and
“Friendly Beasts.” But even this
beautiful scene vanished with the
light of the little match.
Then as the little girl looked
up at the sky she saw a star fall
and knew from what her kind,
but now dead, grandmother had
said, that a soul was going up to
God. And as she struck another
match, it lighted all around her;
and in the brightness stood her
old grandmother, portrayed by
Micah Jean Smith. She wanted her
old grandmother to stay with her,
so she hastily struck all the match-
es in her bundle. Then together
they went so high, so high, and
there was no hunger, no fear, no
cold, for they were with God.
In the morning time the sun
broke on the little body still sit-
ting with a smile on her face—
dead, frozen to death on Christmas
£vc. But no one knew the bright-
ness she h«d seen nor in what
beauty she had gone with her
grandmother into the joy of
Christmas Eve.
As the curtains were slowly
drawn together, the choir softly
sang “Silent Night” The little
choir was composed of Kathy Wil-
liams, Sayrcc Eaakew, Eliska Es-
