An audience which nenrly ex
wetted the capacity of the hall,
in spile of pxtni chairs and
many standing In the down
Malrs lobby, was totally en
grossed In the program; even
pre .schiHilers in the audience
watched closely.
A colorful stae,c sittini' dom

window, set the mood o(
the program, with e,ay victor

Miss Terry I.lncceuin. ail dir
ector for the lleppner schools,
was In char(je of the art and
scenery and had the help of
her 7 2 art class. Assisting with
the production )ob was Leonard
Munkers, who made the sleigh
tor the "Sleigh Bells" number
and did other required carpen
ter work, alone; with the cus
todial staff includlnK Paul War

Harris.
All children in (Ik; first five
tirades of the school participat
ed under the direction of their
teachers. Due to Illness, Mrs.
i la Mae Croshens, music dir
ector, was unable to be pres
ent. After general singing of In-
troductory numbers, "It s Christ
inas Time" and "Shine Christ
inas windows, glimmer,, glim

lid the "Shoo Maker's Dance,"
a folk dance. Then came the
acting out of "liudolph, the
lied-nosed Kelndeer" by a two
child reindeer with antlers al
most as big ns the two child
ren put together.
liudolph was followed by a
dance of Christmas packages to
the song "Little Boxes" sung hy
the chorus, and as the animat
ed boxes left the stage the lit
tle Christmas mice appeared.
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

dreamed of being real angels.

scheduled to play the prelimin

in any Christmas tournament,

during the holiday season Is
planned as a traditional event.
It Is In addition to the homo-anti-homo
series on the regular
schedules 'of the two schools.
Heppner's share of the pro
ceeds will go towards paying
the remaining balance on the
whirlpool bath, which Is used
in the treatment of athletic In
juries. The H club has paid for
much of the cost of the equip
ment. Neither school obtains enough
revenue from student body ac
tivities to cover fully the expens
es of the school year for student
body needs. Support of the pub
lic is asked in ortler that the
schools may finish this year
without a deficit or to hold' the
deficit to a minimum.
lleppner won the first game
between the schools, Gt-3(i, but
the sophomore-studded lone
team has been improving rap
idly, as evidenced by its recent
victory over Riverside, and the
Cardinals undoubtedly will give
the Mustangs a tougher tussle
In the vacation-time contest.
Season basketball tickets will
not be honored at this "extra"
game, Carpenter said. They are
good at all other home Hood-
nor games.
