This number to the singing of "Twas the Night After Christ mas" was a most ambitious production of first, second and third graders which made a special hit with the audience. All the "mice" sang and acted their story with great enthusi asm. Spotlight then turned to the Murrie's Curries window where Mother Goose stopped from her book followed by nursery rhyme characters to the singing of the nursery rhymes. Next on the program wus a lilting song about "Throe Lit tle Angels" who fell asleep and dreamed of being real angels. The three little girls in long Tfr)f r(r.
