Annual Party
Will Be Given
For Children
On Monday afternoon, Decem-
’ler 17, 1984, at three forty-five, a
uarty will be given for forty-seven
children from the Alexander Gra
ham Home, and fifty other children
from Charlotte. Some of these
local child.en have never had any
gifts or a part in any Christmas
activities.
The student body is sponsoring
this party, and it is hoped that each
girl will do her part in making
these unfortunate ones happy. The
names and ages of the children may
be secured from Vivian Hilton.
Aside from these individual gifts
each girl is asked to contribute ten
cents for the refreshments of the
afternoon.
This Christmas party is always
a very gay affair. A beautiful
Christmas tree plays an important
part, and the Home Economics
girls have made gingerbread boys,
pop-corn balls and toys of apples
and candies. Santa Claus will ar
rive about four-thirty. A profes
sional entertainer will be secured
if possible, and the children will
entertain with Christmas songs
and recitations. This party is one
of the most delightful occasions
of the entire year, and the hostesses
feel that they get more from it
than the happy little guests.
