The music committee's annual Christmas gift to the club was a

fine example of the talent of our members. JOHN BARRETT, CORKY MITCHELL, ARVID OLSON, and BOB VERPLANK lead us in singing favorite Christmas songs and carols.

They were accompanied by HARLEY FREY, BOB GRIFFITHS and RAY PEETERS.

A group of guest musicians playing recorders, led by HARRIET COPPOC, entertained us with ancient and beautiful music that we all recognize.

Interwoven with all of the fine music were MAURI WILLIAMSON remembering his childhood Christmases on the farm and CHRISTA KECK presenting the poem, "T'was The Night Before Christmas". The program ended with "We Wish You a Merry Christmas". And so does your editor.
