Guides, Parents Enjoy Xmas Party A very pleasant evening was enjoyed in.the Scout Hall when the recently organized 3rd Port Perry Girl Guide Company, under the capable supervision of Captain Karel Nottingham, held a Christmas Party. The well-arranged program- me was _a decided success with over one hundred and fif- ty parents, friends and fellow members of the Guide move- ment attending. The proceeds for the evening entertainment amounted to around $22.00. This money will be used by the com- pany toward financing the ex- badges, supplies, ete. which are needed from time to time. Mrs. Nottingham is to be commended for the splendid way in which this performance was conducted, the talent and training, with the assistance of Lieutenant Beverley Fellows and Cadet Diane Hall, was su- perb and gave everyone an in- site to the outstanding leader- ship being given to the girls; attending this company. Captain Nottingham acted as Mistfess of ceremonies and calle upon Guides Janice Wil- liams! and Charlene Bourgeois to sta¥t the program by singing the Guide Laws. This was fol- lowed by a selection of numbers consisting of quartettes, duets, sotos, readings, trios, soft shoe and square dance numbers ac- cardian music and tumbling, with every guide in the company participating. The main highlight was the pageant "The Night Before Christmas". The costumes and "props" were quite unique and "Santa Claus" which was taken by Janice Willans, at the last moment, owing to an unfortun- ~ ate accident to Guide Mary Nel- son who could not take her part through the misfortune of breaking her leg, was certain- ly well done and delighted the "young fry" in attendance. The narrator was Guide June Mur- ray. To bring the evening to a climax, a bounteous luncheon was served by the entire Guide Company, with the assistance of the Guide Leaders. Those responsible for such a fine presentation were Guides Heather Rider; Penny Rider; Joanne Wakeford; Wendy Har- ris; Diane Short; Karén Mur- ray; June Hurray; Deanne Gray; Janet Tristram; Jean Tristram; Barbara Best; Janice Williams; Darlene Irvine; Brenda Geer; Josephine Davies; Fiva. Leveck; Charlene Bourge- ~ ois; Karen Kennedy; Susan Gray; Sherrin Vokins; Patsy Lee; Debbie Godley; Diny De- Jong; Cathy Best; Linda Espie and Diane Hall, The Guides would like to take | this opportunity to especially thank Mr. Stuart Lane who gave so much of his time to train the girls who did the tum- bling act and to surpervise this work for them and also to Mr. Grant MacDonald who gracious- ly loaned the necessary equip- ment from the Port Perry High School to make it a success. The co-operation of the parents is deeply appreciated also, for without their support and back- ing, the girls could not have entertained so royally. It is interesting to note that the musical numbers were all rendered unaccompanied and proved that there is good ama- teur talent in this community. The Christmas Sing-son was in charge of Guide Diane Hall. Greenbank UCW The Greenbank afternoon unit of the U.C.W. was held on Wed., Dec. 9 at 2 p.m. in the S.
