B ] nvnmm a Thirty Minutes With Santa Claus was the musical play presented by the pupils of grades two through six for their annual Christinas Program on Thursday evening, December 18th. The play appealed to the entire audience because, while it had enough of the traditional Santa Claus myth to hold deep interest, it presented Santa Claus less as a dispenser of gifts and more in the true spirit of Christmas. Characters included: John Wentworth (Father), Charles Thoen; Mrs. Wentworth (Mother), Ann Armstrong; Betty Wentworth (young daughter), Shirley Rukke; Mary, Sylvia Myers; Joseph, James Flynn; Innkeeper, David Hanson; Three Wise Men, Normj Haugen; Dennis White, John Edward Young; Angel, Kathryn Armstrong; Santa Claus, Dick Hillesland. The rest of the children, made up the chorus, which sang chiefly traditional Christmas carols and the first grade concluded the grade program with selections by their rhythm band.
