ALL SAINTS’ KINDERGARTEN

CONCERT AND PARTY Ono of the happiest breaking-up functions was held on Thursday evening, when Miss Phyllis Murray and her little pupils at All Saints’ Kindergarten entertained the parents and friends at a concert and Christmas party. The children were very charming and highly entertaining in their items, especially the solos in fancy costumes. Little Doreen Annabell sang “Little 80-Peep,” and her sweet voice and perfect confidence were a great delight to the large audience. Wee Jeanie Fiygcr (Hycars old) won everyone’s heart with, her recitations, “Mary, Mary,” and “ Se-Saw. ” Barbara Moulder made a lovely buttercup in her pretty frock and sang very sweetly with Brooko Batten as a little brown bird, and Ngairo Wilson as a twinkling star. Each filled the part in charming manner. Joan Horsley and Georgie Haggie sang “Where Are You Going to, My Pretty Maid?” in costume, and were loudly appl: uded. Georgie Haggle possesses a remarkable voice for a boy of five, and his solo, “I Had a Little Donkey,” was very fine. A recitation in character was given by four boys (Georgie Haggie, a soldier; John Cornwell, a sailor; Donald Fleming, a farmer; Peter Wilton, an engine-driver), and proved a very popular item. Molly Gibson recited, “Oh, Doctor, Dear,” and Marie Illingworth, “When I Was Down Beside the Sea.” Molly Parkinson, another tiny girl with a sweet voice, sang “I Had a Pony,” and Peter Wilton sang “I Had a Little Nut Tree.” Nancy Scott recited “Miss Muffot,” and a very novel item was given by Jean Horsley dressed as grandma (complete with spectacles and knitting), and Doreen Annabell recited “When Grandma Puts Her Glasses On.” Both acted well and “grandma” was a great success. Songs were rendered by the whole school. including the “Maoriland Suite,” in which Peter Wilton, clad in his Maori mat, led the singing. At the conclusion of the Fairy Song, Father Christmas appeared and led the children to the school-room where a gaily decorated Christmas tree awaited them. Each child received a gift from Father Christinas and balloons, paper hats, and bon-bons were handed round. A very jolly time followed. A delicious supper was served and the whole evening was a most enjoyable entertainment to parents and pupils alike.
