CHRISTMAS ENTERTAINMENT

[Welland Tribune, 1 January 1897]

The annual entertainment by the Sunday school of Holy Trinity on Tuesday night was a credit to the officers and scholars of the school. The weather was bad but the attendance was fair. Miss Nellie Lock sang a solo in splendid voice, and was heartily recalled. Joseph McGuire’s comic songs and recitations also took immensely, while little Miss Sumner’s cute songs and sayings delighted the children-young and old. Miss Kitty Ramey recited cleverly, as she always does. The drills by the boys and girls were especially pretty and vociferously applauded. These are always a feature of Sunday School entertainments, and the teachers deserve praise for the labor and patience displayed in preparing them. The sketch “Vice Versa” was a most laughable one, showing how things would run if the “new woman” was at the business helm and the “new man” in the kitchen. The distribution of beautiful presents concluded a most successful Xmas entertainment. The officers thank Mrs. Duncan for the use of her residence for the children in practicing drills, etc.
