Rosenthal School Christmas

Quote from Along the Fifth

"The Christmas concert is a vivid memory too.How we
practised our music and plays!We expectantly exchanged
names for the Christmas gift draw.Excitedly we awaited
Santa Claus.He came,the dear old man.Could it be a
dream that I see him sometimes on the streets of Stony
Plain?I ask,why does he look so young now?Why does
he smile and doff his hat to me?"

pg 165 Christmas Poem

Quote from Alongthe Fifth

"WHA TOO YOU THINK OF THIS?
from Diamond Jubilee Issue of
the Reporter
Wabamunfor white fish,
Manly for pork;
Stony Plain for golden grain
And Spruce Grove for the stork.
Blue berry for berries,
Golden Spike for hay; Brightbank for woolley sheep
And beef for Onoway.
Inga for pretty girls,
Mewassin for wheat Pine Ridge for garden truck
Which is hard to beat.
Glory Hills for horses,
Tomahawk for cows; Lac Ste.Anne for wild ducks And little pigs and so ws.
Highvalefor butter, Burtonsville for oats Keephills for peavine hay And Angora goats.
Then here's to our neighbors
Who live far and near,
May they all spend a Christmas day Full of Good Cheer.
by a Golden Spike poet of 1911"

pg64 Blueberry School Christmas Concerts

Quote from Along the Fifth

"The piano played an important role in the lives of
thirty-five students and myself.The children of Blueberry
School were lovely singers.With the old piano to guide us
I am sure that music added greatly to our talent.The
piano too was a strong arm for our annual Christmas
concert.Even Santa shook his bells in rhythm...........
Five distinct memories of my one year tenure at
Blueberry that occur to me pertain to chestnuts,crocuses,
gophers,Christmas Concert and,of course,children.
I was amazed that fall when some children brought
chestnuts (wild hazelnuts)that they had gathered from
the area bushes. .........Christmas Concerts were a must and ours that year was
considered successful.I was reminded of one item I
prepared for the program that year when a few days ago I
found a sheet of music entitled "Mama Doll Song".
Talking dolls were not like those of 1981.All they could
say was "Mama"by means of a device in the body
which,when each time the doll was tipped forward,
produced the sound word.
The little girls who started school that fall,Karen
Springman,Leona Troudt,and Gertrude Jacobson,were
dressed like the delightful "talking dolls"and sang the
song bending forward as required in the chorus:
"Mama,Mama,Mama,Mama", One little word she knew,
"Mama,Mama,Mama,Mama," To me it meant,'7 love you.''
Several years later the school was closed and the
children were bussed into town.I was pleased to teach the
younger ones again as they reached Grade 5,which was
the grade I was assigned and taught for the next 15 years.
I still live in Stony Plain and am always pleased to meet
any of my former pupils."
