Our speaker is a native of Rollingstone and a student at St. Mary's College. His family came to this area from Luxembourg in 1860. He has been interested in local history since high school days. As a part of his curriculum, he has prepared a paper on the above subject that brings to light some little-known aspects of our early history dating back to 1650-extending up to about 1870. Speaker introduced by Mr. Charles Lane, Instructor in American frontier history at St. Mary's College.
A Christmas party will follow-as of last year. Santa Claus in person will arrive at about 9:00 P.M. with a load of gifts to distribute to all present. Each one is asked to bring some home-made or hand-made object, an antique or historical artifact, carefully wrapped to conceal its identity. Suggested items are,-old toys, Christmas tree ornaments, candles or lamps, Christmas cookies or bakery goods, books, old tools or kitchen utensils, etc.
This promises to renew cherished memories of old-time Christmases.
The children of the Homer School will decorate the tree with ornaments made under the supervision of their teacher, Mrs. Irvin Blumentritt.
A sextet of girls from the 5th and 6th grade of Dakota School will sing Christmas carols, through the courtesy of their teacher, Mrs. William Stetzler.
Reel also includes a test recording and training in use of recording equipment and subsequent test reading. Transcript and recording of this not included in this record but is saved to the WCHS server.
