The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1921-12-29
Mallet Creek

at the town hall on Thursday evening
of last week by the school children
of York township was strictly the
first thing that has been in our lit
tie burg for number of years, and
it seemed good to see the old hall pack
ed to it's capacity to hear the fine
program that was put on. The
Nativity" pageant, that opened the
evenings program was realistic in
the extreme, the great guiding star
of Bethlehem doing it's part well, by
continually twinkling. The musical
stunts and playlets which followed
together with the pageant, showed
the kind of talent to be found in York
township, and it also showed perfect
ly plain that we have teachers that
know how to develop the talent. 1t
takes tact not formed under every
head of hair to take little tots in the
first and second grades and make
real actors of them in a few short
months; and while we were listening
to the musical numbers, especially
those put on by such little fellows,
we could not help but wonder what a
community would be without music
and lot of dear little children to
show US the beauty nesting in every
note. And we also realized that
this musical treat never could have
happened had it not been for the
work Of those efficient musical direct
ors and trainers, Mr.. Burns and
Miss Mckee; and when the conclusion
Of the program was finally reached
the writer found himself hungry, yes,
real hungry, (for more). But our
pleasure was not to end there for it
was real pleasure to see the eyes
of our jolly little entertainers sparkle
in expectation as they now awaited
the coming Of Santa Claus, and the
distribution Of presents they knew
was in store for them; and the chill
dren's eyes were not the only ones
that sparkled, for there were a lot
Of proud fathers and mo hers there
yes, proud of their children, and they
had a right to be. The distribution
Of the presents ended an evening of
enjoyment long to be remembered.
