. Sanfah Macafion The elementary grades presented the Christmas operetta, SANTA'S VACATION December 28. Mrs. Santa is disgruntled over a last- minute order for five more Christmas dolls. Fairies and elves are also out of spirits. Santa is blamed and all insist he needs a vacation, as they could manage quite well without him. Santa consents, and heads for the South Pole. It is discovered that the Sandman, the magic sack, the reindeer, all have gone with him, for they were all too much a part of him. When panic is at its height, Santa returns, just in time, to the re- lief and delight of all, for they had learned flhat there could be no Christmas without im. Ja A lliafeurf?

They formed a Christmas tree, star, and a bell in the dark with each player and drum major wearing red or green electric lights. The school children of Stafford, Troy, Franklin, and Newville town- ships were guests. Another hit of the evening was Santa drawn in a sleigh by two little elves. V The band participated in the Memorial Day services. They also marched in the parade held during the Tomato Festival. The Peppy marches played at the ball games gave our crowd the 'fyellingl' spirit and gave our boys that fighting spirit. Due to the threat of polio, the band did not participate at any of the fairs. The biggest event of the year was the trip to Bloomington, Where the band participated in a large band festival and witnessed a football game. -24-.

Tony is the football star of the year and has a little competition over the home fronts. Competition with his opposing team and the fella who wants his girl. Betty and Buddy are always present for fun and food, but ab- sent for work. Mom and Dad are the pa- tient type but patience can go so far and Dad reaches that point. A prize fight by Buddy, a party for the football team, an airplane ride for Babs and a proposal for Aunt Bella plus a love match between Sally and Dick, ended one hilarious night of entertainment for an average American family, the Smiths. f 7?
