4 it easy for him to hustle and we learn that
/ he not only visited Randolph, but nearly
4 every place else on his route.
/ Santa was especially in evidence at the
churches Christmas eve and glad throngs
\ greeted him as his reindeer team flew
\ from tree to tree.
AT the Christian church, which was
crowded to the doors, an elaborate canta-
Ia, entitled "Santa Claus Arrival was
presented. IL required more than an hour
The music, the singing, the dialogue and
the costumes combined to make the eff
feet pleasing throughout. The leading
soloist was Miss Grace Lamson, whose
fine soprano voice never showed a sweeter
tone, the selections being especially fitted
for her. The solo with chorus would have
been creditable for any class OF perform
ers. Duets were rendered by Misses Flos
sic Terry and Maud Lamson; Jennie W H.
liams and Maud Lamson; Blanche Loom
is and Josie Sault; Emma Moses and Lou
Use Hastings; Ethel and lisa Sargent
Misses Moses and Looms also rendered
solos. All of these were given in the

was well taken by Earl Powers, drew
merited applause. Miss Abbie Clark served
