The Ladies‘ Auxiliary to the Etobicoke Firefighters held its meeting recently at the home of the president, Mrs. Beverley Brister, Cooksville, and started plans for a mammoth card party, an annual affair in the early spring. The ladies make knitted goods, and supply school supplies for the northern Indians, as well as make toys for the pediatric ward at Etobicoke General Hospital. Mrs. William Jolly, her daughâ€" ter Cathy, and her father, Mr. Wilson Graham of Wesley St., spent ‘a delightful holiday with Mrs. Jolly‘s sister and brotherâ€" inâ€"law, Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Chauvin, in New Orleans, over the Christmas and New Year holiday. They jetted via Air Canada to O‘Hara airport, Chicago, the world‘s largest airport, then on to New Orleans, where they attended the Sugar Bowl game on New Year‘s Day; visited the French Quarter, and in Biloxi saw the home of Jefferson Davis, visited the French Market, and Top Of The Mart, the» tallest building overlooking the Misâ€" sissippi and surroundings.

Cabildo, they saw where the actual transâ€" fer to the United States of the Louisiana Purchase was made, and Mrs. Jolly found it most interesting, from a Canadian‘s point of view, to hear the matives talk of the battle of New Orleans in 1815 when the British were defeated. Camelias, ponsiettzs, and roses were profuse, and they especially enjoyed the sea food â€" fresh lobsters while overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, And to climax* this interesting holiday, they were fog bound for four hours at the airport. We are informed that Mrs. Ed Whitmarsh, Groverdale Rd., has a new nephew, who is really very special, for he was a Christâ€" mas present to his parents, and eight sisters, and a first son for Mr. and Mrs. Roebottom of Downsview, born in Humber Memorial hospital on Christmas Day.

He told usâ€"or was in the process of .telling usâ€"what we might expect during the next bhour when Mr. Maniac casually walked on stage with a plant pot, a watering can and a little stand, He proceeded to set down the stand, place the pot on it and "water" the plant which apparently occupied the pot, and then sauntered off the stage. Naturally, the roof nearly came down from the thunderous applause. o the like I saw on December 22 between 10:30 and noon. I think about 95%._of the students of Alderwood suddenly realized that teachérs are human too. It all began that Friday mornâ€" ing. I knew something was up as soon as Mr. Caldwell handed me a piece of paper with Santa Claus and a ten line math probâ€" lem on it and said, "Merry Christmas" as he recklessly wanâ€" dered off down the hall. I just knew something was up. About halfâ€"anâ€"hour later it began to happen. â€" . This column is dedicated to the teachers of Alderwood C.L ‘They deserve it! 1 have never seen anything in my life before quest that grade thirteens actuâ€" ally sit in the same room with grade niners. (Even if the niners did have to sitâ€"in the aisles, it didn‘t seem right). However, the thirteens ‘condescended and the auditorium was soon packed with pecple â€" all shapes and sizes, with some of us even sitting on the stage. Right, well, there we were, waiting for some assembly or other to get started and get finâ€" ished in a big hurry so that we might not have to breathe any more of the poisonous oxygen of our favorite school than necesâ€" sary. . Our M.C. then introduced Stefanchick‘s Chicks and the curtains drew back as the audiâ€" ence waited with bated breathe not knowing what might come before their wide little eyes. In microâ€"skirts and smiles appeared Miss Stefanchik, Miss Fuss, Mrs. King, Miss Carter, Miss Grant and others who goâ€"go danced their way through a Supremes version of "Santa Claus is Comin‘ to Town". Needless to say, at the end of that the enâ€" tire male half of the audience cheered frantically, whistled, stood up, stamped their feet and yelled for encores. The girls quietly applauded. > Next? None other than the athletic, heâ€"men of our teaching staff, ‘"The Sugar Plum Fairies". I mustâ€"admit, they. were very atâ€" tractive in their satin and netâ€" ting with their wings and all, dancing around on their tippy toes, holding hands and shyly hiding behind their fans or something. But they couldn‘t hide away forever and I caught a glimpse of some of their 11 e‘clock shadows as they peeped coyly around the edges of their bonnets. There were, to record it for the sake of history, such greats as: Mr. MacDonald, Mr. Youngs, and Mr. Yarrow to name only a few of the little dolls, Most of us couldn‘t believe it â€"just couldn‘t believe it! But there was more [ .. It was about this time that Mr. Maniac returned with the same plant pot bit now with a small Christmas tree growing in it â€" and â€" walked â€" nonchalantly mcross the stage to roaring apâ€" plause. Then ‘came the modern version of the Christmas Carol which discussed the various asâ€" pects of hard, cold Christmas selling tactics, with Mr. Wells as the â€" cigarâ€"smoking, â€" loudmouth Scrooge and an admirably chosen Bob Cratchet with a face and manner that positively exude "Sucker" to a Scroogeâ€" type. « By BARBARA JONES Mry. Burton did, in fact, have several convulsions on stage as most of the students suspected while Miss Jay and Miss Irwin both played extra roles exceedâ€" ingly well, occasiqnally doubling as chipmunks, 1 think Mr. Cairns played a beautiful, "Don‘t be ridiculous, ya jerk!" role, while Miss MacKinnon and her crowd, the never â€" blow â€" yourâ€" eoolers, looked knowingly at the audience at various intervals. After that I think MFS. Gosse »2 ALl p N 11 CS came on with her bagpipes or something, to inform us that Santa dear was presently visitâ€" ing our old friends from way back. when at Burnhamthorpe. The student reaction to this was somewhat alarming â€"â€"â€" they reâ€" fused to believe it and became extremely possessive. Mr. Maniac then walked by dragging a Christmas tree branch behind He had us all sing our old time favourites like "Rudolf the Redâ€"nosed Reindeer" (with slightly studentâ€"altered words), "Santa Claus is Comin‘ to Town", and that old, whatâ€" would â€" Christmasâ€"beâ€"withoutâ€"it ?â€" favorite: "Jingle Bells", by which time even the grade niners had joined in. Mr. Jose, I believe, was mext, with his accordion and hat. _ Nexst, I guess, was "The Night Before Christmas". When the curtain drew back to reveal Mr. Howe complete with pyjamas and bathrobe, half of the female part of the audience immediately proceeded to collapse. He then read us an altered version of the famous poem, one of the lines of which he refused to read (which must have been quite something considering some of the lines he DID read, which went right over the heads of all the grade niners and half the grade tens!). Needless to say, at the end of that, the entire female half of the audience cheered frantically, whistled, stood up, stamped their feet and hollared for encores. The boys clapped. $s _ Mrs. Gosse then came back to tell us that Santa was on his way. And he really was, b\!t‘_first . . . four very cute little fellows in nightgowns, one with bony legs and a Beatle cut, came out to sing us a few numbers.

Santa soon put an end to that and Mommy soon found "her"self in a passionate embrace. Shortly thereafter, however, Santa arrived for yeal, bearing goodies for all. After an encore of Stefanchik‘s Chicks, who were madly chased about by Santa (the teachers were really hungâ€" up on a sexâ€"crazed Santa) amid howls fromâ€" the male student body, the old man in the red suit finally got down to business. Santa always brings such marâ€" vellous presents and everybody got just what they always wantâ€" ed and needed: Foot powder, a candy cane, a "just married" sign and confetti in the face, and a nice big Gillette advertisâ€" ing sign to Marilyn Lewis, Denâ€" nis Del Torre, Mr. Van Dalen, and Derek Forbes respectively. It was about at this point that "good ol‘ Joe," as the students fondly refer to him, made his final and greatest appearance on stage toting a huge Christmas tree which was set up at one side of the stage. Suddenly all the teachers were on stage sinâ€" cerely singing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" from the botâ€" tom of their respective hearts and lungsâ€"and we loved them for it.
