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. Hay Rides Bob Welliver of Welliver 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. 3A
