Xmas Caro! Service at Pomfret School
Scheduled Saturday, Sunday This Year
AH who would like to join in the
Christmas Caro) Service at the Pom
fret chape] this weekend are cor
diaHy invited by the school to par
ticipate.
In the past there has been a close
limitation on space, hut this year
two services are planned so that all
who wish to come may do so. For the
first time, the Pomfret Community
Chorus is joining with the school
choir in the service.
The first service will be at 8:30
p. m. on Saturday, December 10. and
the second service at 5:15 p. m. on
Sunday, December 11. Since all the
boys in the school will attend the
Sunday service and some of their
parents may also be on hand, there
will probably be more room at the
Saturday night service. Those who
prefer to come on Sunday, however,
should feel free to do so, particularly
those with young children who can
not come on Saturday night.
The service will consist of congre
gational singing of familiar carols,
the reading of the Christmas story,
prayers, and Christmas music sung
by the Choir and the Community
Chorus. The Choir will sing a group
of traditional carols, the Chorus will
sing Randall Thompson's "Alleluia,"
and the two groups together will sing
three early American carols by Wil

"The Play's The Thing"
(HyFatricK.Mcauc,
Plays have been written and acted
with many objectives, for many rea
sons: to entertain, to ridicule, to ex
pose and, among ther things, to point
a morai. "Ph ladelphia Story, so
superbly acted by the ^ oodstoek
Players last month, is a socia] com
edy which could be well called a sat
ire. But, there was nothing satirical
about the Woodstock Players motives
when they put the play on. The Mum
mers, and they were splendid m
ther parts, were united in their de
termination to give their all for the
benefit of Woodstock's new public
school. Give they did a top perform
ance, and gathered an ail time top
attendance which means a walloping
donation to the school's Health and
Safety Fund!
The communities of Woodstock and
the surrounding districts, certain of
excellent entertainment, and morally
convtnceu tnat me major parr 01 tneir
admission money wouid go to the
host of ai) worthy causes—Child Wet
fare—overflowed Woodstock Acad
emy seat ng capacity on three of the
four night performances.
Naturally some of the record
"take" went to expenses, the iargest
item of which, $) 75.08, was in Gov
ernment entertainment tax. Royalty
t« the agents of "Philadelphia Story"
took another $125. Other items in
cluded the rental fee of $35 to the
Woodstock Academy, books, stage ef
fects, properties, programs, lighting,
advert sing, costumes, etc. made a
total of $492.78. Items donated saved
the Players considerable expense and
emphasized the public spirited mo
tives of H. A. Prym, who provided
the public address system, Baker
Plays of Boston who cut $30 off
royalties; the Putnam Patriot who
printed the tickets, Lucas of South
bridge for photographs (pub) city);
The Woodstock Fire Department for
fire protection;' art Feierf<rtraRi
direction; Bart^ara Barrett for hair
styting, 'hurch's store in 4'utnam ft r
specia) costumes; Robinson's F'unerat
Partor, Putnam, for the ioan of chairs,
and the Grove Street Nurseries for
$30 worth of Rowers. Totat dona
tions— $)3f). Totat expenses for the
production of Phitadetphia Story were
$492.78. Receipts $'.'94.45. And the
Schoo) Heatth and Safety F*und nets
the grand sum of $50 4947!! Some
sum! Some Ptayers! Some P!ay-go

This contribution brings the to:-.!
of the School Safety ant) FD-atth F'unit
to around $3,000 or about half way
