School will give Christmas operetta,
"The Miser's Dream" next Tuesday
night, Dec. 20. In the operetta, the
Miser is changed from selfish,
greedy man into generous, benevo-
lent person by dream. In the dream
the Elves and Gnomes appear and the
black cats beg for food. Dame Major
lie, his servant, also begs for comforts
Of life. The Elves, selfishness and un-
kindness, tell him that for one hour,
at midnight, on Christmas Eve night,
they all will be changed into generous
people. The Christmas Fairy, Witch
and Fairy Generosity all appear to
bring about change into the Miser's
heart. Then he gives many gifts to
Cats, Dame Majorie and to the chill
dren. The Miser wakes and resolves
that the only way in life to be happy
is to make others about him happy.
