CHAPMAN Hornbrook Almost 300 par ents and friends, one of the largest audiences ever assembled in Hornbrook, gathered at the Grange hall last Wednesday eve ning for the annual Christmas program of the local grammar school. The opening number was a flag salute by little Antonia Lopez, who entered school here just two months ago, and who at that time was unable to speak a word of English. She gave the pledge of allegiance with a loud, clear voice, with perfect dic tion, and not even a trace of the Mexican accent. The four lower grades, taught by Mrs. L. Compton and Mrs. Kate Smith, presented a play, "Holy Night," with songs pro vided by a choir of lower grade pupils. Then followed a play, "Family Christmas." and several short skits by the four upper grades, and music by the upper grade choir. The upper grades are taught by Mrs. Ruth Cummins and Al Gregory, principal. The com munity would like to take this means of expressing their appre iation to the four teachers for the hours of w-ork put in prepar- icinating, new leisure-time activ ation of the Christmas program, ! tty, and to the parents who coached their, children, made costumes and helped Santa Claus make and fill the 175 sacks of candy and nuts which he distributed at the close of the program. Mr. Gregory, in behalf of the teach ers and school board, expressed his thanks to the T. Janes com pany and the Black Mountain Lumber company for the dona tions they made toward making the evening a success. Praise should also be given to Clyde Peters and Clifford Hayes, both grammar school students, for their art work. On ordinary white wrapping paper with col ored chalk, they depicted the manger scene in life size pro portions. This covered the entire rear wall of the stage, and across one end of the Grange hall was a portrayal of Santa Claus in his sleigh with his eight pranc ing reindeer. The boys also made the reindeer masks, out of brown paper bags, which were used in one of the skits.
