It began with the Primary classes singing a medley of Christmas songs. Long, long ago, a song about the Reindeer and Santa and How did you feel? were included in their musical numbers. This group performed with professional style and verve. The Senior classes presented a musical play titled Santa's Video voyage. This delightful play featured Santa, elves, reindeer, Mrs.Claus and two special video elves Cobalt and Basic, and a chorus. It began with Santa, complaining that the video ' games were all that the children wanted for Christmas. This left him with an over abundance of the usual toys such as dolls, baseballs, fishing rods etc. and little time to make these games. Mrs. Claus tries to calm him down and get him to rest. The elves enjoy playing the games so don't rush to get their work done. Cobalt and Basic are tired of composing programs for all the games. On Christmas Eve, Santa, while delivering presents discovers the joy of playing video games and forgets about his other deliveries. The children of the house help Santa by making up a program to speed up his deliveries deliveries so Santa and the reindeer reindeer arrive back at the North Pole on schedule, singing the praises of videos. The costumes, chorus and dancing plus the acting of the main characters, captivated the audience. To find out who played the parts you will have to ask proud parents. The teachers and parents who worked on this concert along with the pupils did a terrific job. Of course it helped to have our own Ross Metcalf supplying the music and direction direction for this event. This is the last musical event that he will be in charge of for the Northumberland and Newcastle School board. Ross, who has been with the board as musical consultant, retires the end of this year. The enthusiasm and energy that he generates brings out the best in any group under his direction. The Hampton Junior School has also been busy filling hampers with non perishable donations to be given to the Salvation Army for distribution,, distribution,, ; ;p) • The Service Club of Hampton also did their part to help boost the Salvation Army's Christmas giving as they packed four boxes to be donated to them at their meeting Tuesday, December 16. The meeting began with a lunch prepared by Marg Hall, ? t f t f t * f Y f f f T f ? f t T f ❖ f ? f t f T f ? f t f t J f ? f ? f f f t ? ? t f f f t f O io tt|c buy tulifdr tlfc IGnrb Ijtis ntabc.

An enjoyable evening was spent by the United Church Women last Monday beginning beginning with a worship service led by Ruth Farrow and Doris Wilbur. Then on to the entertainment entertainment which began with a duet performed by Lois Marks and her daughter Ann. This was followed with a trip to China via slides shown and narrated by Marjorie Levan. Ann Marks played Lucy in the cast of "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown" and excelled in this role. I spent an enjoyable evening laughing and sympathizing with Charlie Brown. The Hampton card party had a good turnout for their Christmas party. After the card games a delicious lunch of sandwiches, cookies, squares and other goodies donated by the players was served. Numbers were drawn and everyone received a small present. After best wishes for the holiday season from all, the party ended. The high scores were won by Ann Taylor, John McKeen, Laverne Clemens, Pat Porrill and Georgena McLaughlin. Most lone hands were won by Ann Taylor and Don Cochrane had the low score. The draw winners were Harold Swayne, Edith Clemens, Ethel Goble and Steve Artym. The theme of last week's White Gift service presented by the Sunday School classes was "Hope Through Giving" Gifts of staple food items and small gifts suitable for a man were placed in containers during the service to later be delivered to the Men's Hostel. During the service the teachers read hopes of pupils for Christmas and the coming year. These ranged from lots of presents, good food and company to a Christmas free of accidents and fires. So "let's be careful out there" and help to make this last wish come true. The third Advent candle was lit by Laura Shane. The Senior Sunday School presented three skits which showed how the money for Missions and Service help people around the world. The Junior classes sang a special carol for us in their own delightful way. The service was closed with a benediction sung by all the Sunday Schools. This Sunday will be the Christmas service at Hampton church at 10:15 a.m. There will be a combined Communion service Christmas Eve in the Hampton church at 7 p.m. Since this will be the last column before the new year I would like to wish my readers all the best for Christmas and the coming year and to thank everyone for their support and help over the past year. It means a lot to know your efforts are appreciated.
