a # - Seagrave News 4/ 4 Christmas, 1972, passed into history a whole week ago so reporting Christmas activities now seems rather pointless. Yes, we did finally have the postponed Christmas concert on Tuesday, Dec- ember 19th. Program was provided by the various S.S. classes and Santa arrived on schedule, On Sunday, there was a Christmas message by Rev. Critch and also. special music by the ehoir and our Christmas trio (Mrs. Abra- ham, Mrs. Nobbs, Mrs. Tobin). Coping with S.S. pupils the day before Christmas presented a pro- blem so the supers arranged a program of suitable music, readings and stories and the teachers had a holiday. We are safe in saying that everyone in the Community participated in some family party but cannot give details about where and with whom each one celebrated as very few parties have been re- ported.
