Churches Make Elaborate
Plans for Proper YuJetide
Observance Christmas Eve

Sank Centre folks are already for
the Yuletide celebration. Many
honest will be gladdened by the re-
turn of loved ones for the Holiday
vacation; others will entertain guests
from outside the city; there will be
many reunited families around the
festive board on Christmas day and
still others will go to various points
outside of Sank Centre to spend the !
Holiday season with relatives and
friends.
Perhaps never before in the his
tory of the Sank Centre churches,
have so elaborate programs been ar
ranged as this year. Practically all
the churches will hold appropriate
Christmas tree exercises with pro-
gram, being largely in charge of the
Sunday Schools. The Congregation
al, church, for number of years has
featured their White Gift services
the Sunday afternoon preceding
Christmas. This feature will be car
ried out again this year.
The officers at the Home School
for Girls have planned busy week
for that institution, concluding with
the presentation of the play Daddy
Long Legs" by the girls of Villa cot
tage, Tuesday evening, Jan. L.
The public schools are today and
Tomorrow having appropriate Christ
mas programs in the various grades
as can be seen by the School Notes
published on another page in this is
sue.
Christmas Eve, from 900 to
100 P. NJ, groups of Senior High
school students and young people of
the city, directed by Miss Dorothy
Scott, head of the music department
of the Public schools, will sing Christ
mas carols about the city. A special
effort will be made to stop at the
homes where candles are seen in the
windows. Christmas morning from
S 100 to 500, fifty Junior High
school students, directed by Miss
Scott, will sing Christmas carols
about the city. This is an innovation
for Sank Centre and will 10 doubt be
greatly enjoyed.
