reporter, and studio announcer,

mother's kitchen.

audio equipment and to nervous an
ticipation.
However, once the theatrics be

admirably.
The play lasted approximately
20-minutes, after which the children
now free of their fear, joined proud
parents wailing in the lobby.
Following a brief recess, middle
school students presented their
Christmas production. Children in
grades 5 through 8 presented a
medley of songs and skits celebrat
ing the season. Westfield's music
Director Mrs. Erin Scott lead the
choir in some lesser known holiday
classics. A delightful array of music
included a "Reindeer Rap," in which
Santa's reindeer give their view
point of the jolly old fatman, and
"The Twelve Days of Westfield,,"
an original piece featuring Wests ield
Headmaster Malcolm Moscly.
Skits were entertaining and in
formative for children and adult
spectator alike. Through two short
productions , children and adults
were reminded of the true meaning
of Christmas. Themes centered on
placing others first and on the im
portance of giving, not to receive,
but giving for the joy of giving.

Carrage Service in Winterville
drove many Christmas shop
pers through downtown Perry
on his carriage. Welliver also
offered the Queen's Carrage, a
more formal affair for adults
during the evenings. For that,
Welliver donned a top-hat and
tails.
