The weather was perfect - throughout the day and added much to the success. Hund- reds of people the young, not so young and old, lined Queen Street from the High School with the greatest number around the Post Office. It would be too win to list all the participants in this column and it would be un- * fair to mention some and not all, The only exceptions are the prize winners: The Hi-C Group of Port Perry United Church won first prize for the most outstanding Christ- mas Pageant. Second prize, the most humourous went to a Green- bank group for their Barber of Seville theme. Mrs. John Pollard with the assistance of some of 'the neighbourhood _ children entered the float on their own. In the small float category, the Port Perry Lions|'g Club won third prize for the candy cane float.

The choice of music, then, is the second aspect of suc- cess. Sunday, there was something for everyone. The years of experience were clearly seen here--a program selected for taste, for variety, for technical skill and inspi- ration.
