The program was given in the auditorium and told us the story of the birth of Christ in song and verse. After these student’s had finished their program Father Rodakowski showed the film, “Guadalupe Day.” One could tell that the program was really ap- precieted by the good attention which was given the cast. Fresh Paint The classrooms are being painted so you had better watch out! “While the tenth grade room was being painted we moved into room across the hall. It was fun mov ing and even more fun when we moved back to out nicely painted room. The walls of all classrooms in the high school building are repainted an.I the floors of all rooms are being refinished.” Just a word of advice. “Be careful where you lean, or what von stand against. Look out for AVet Paint’ signs.” Christmas at McNary rhe Christmas program wc had at McNary hail was held Christmas Eve. The announcer was Joe Pinkham.
