Kouiak High School Mixed Chorus held a Christmas Music Festival in the Baptist Church l Tuesday, December 2lst, which was extremely pleasing
 to the few who braved the
 chilly weather to attend. Mrs. Arthur Bates as direc- tor of the choral High School groups is being justly praised for her excellent tutorship of the various glee clubs and choral work. Mir. Bates acted as accompanist for the Festi- val.
 The groups participating in the recital were: The Boys Octette, the Girls Glee Club, the Boys Glee Club, the Girls Sextette and a Mixed Chorus made up of all the groups. The selections included most ly ChristmasC Carols and Hymns with a solo by Miss Marjory Crockett and a piano solo by Miss Elizabeth Sautner.
 The mixed Chorus was made up of fourteen first so- pranos, eight second sopranos, six altos, seven tenors and twelve basses. The harmony displayed by the group was outstanding.
 The gate admissions for the Festival are to be used to send some of the chorus to the big all Alaskan Music Festi- val held in Anchorage annu- ally.

SANTA AND THE MARS. KING
BY Luerece Hudoins BeoIe !

Once upon q time there lived
q little boy named Tom. He
was q very curious child. He
always wanted to know things.
He was always asking questions.
/ One night q strange thing
happened in the town where
Tom lived. A farmer was WOr-
ried about a sick calf. He got
out of bed and started toward
the barn where the animal lay.
As the farmer, carrying q LAM
term crossed his yard, q sudden
breeze snuffed out the flame. At
the same time q mysterious light
filed the whole yard and the
farmer heard q whirring sound
as if q giant top were spinning.
The farmer, was very fright
ened. He threw himself on the
ground and buried his head In
his arms. When finally he dared
to look the light was gone, the
whirring sound had stopped. AL
the farmer could see was q speck
Of light disappearing over the
top Of the barn.
He Called the Police.
The farmer raced into his
house. He called the police and
the firemen and all his neigh
bors and friends and relations.
"A flying saucer!" he screamed.
I've seen q flying saucer!"
Most every one in the town
heard about the thing one way
or another and went out to the
farm to hear the strange story
Of the farmers flying saucer.
Tom went too. He was just
about popping with excitement.
OF course he'd heard about fiy-
ing saucers and read about them.
But this was the first time he'd
ever known some one who really
had seen one. ss
What could it be? What
could it be?" he went around
asking everybody who would
listen to him. =
But no one had the answer.
Some said 1t was q rocket from
a foreign country. Some said 1t
was light reflections. Some said
the farmer was silly and hadn't
seen anything at all.
Tom Couldn't Forget.
For three or four weeks people
talked about the thing. Then,
gradually, they forgot about it
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-12-03

as Tom could remember he had
gone to the park when he was
lonely or worried. He would sit
there on the steps Of the SCUM
tain and tell Handsome what
was on his mind.
OF course Handsome never
answered. How could he? He
was made of stone. But he al
ways listened and that was the
important thing.
Since the farmers strange
sight, Tom went at least once
q day to the park to tell the elf
Of his great curiosity about the
flying saucer.
"I've just got to know what
it was" he would say. II just
can't stand not knowing" And
he would recite over and over
all the things 1t might be and
all the things it couldn't be.
This went on for a long time
And then one day the unex-
pected happened. Not only die
Handsome listen - Handsome
spoke.

to know something as badly as
you do. I'd and some one who
flies and get the answer from
him. Maybe even some one like
Santa Claus"
