HARSTINE - Thirty folks,
ranging from the very young to
some mighty wonderful senior
citizens, gathered at the
Community Hall early Friday
evening. The festivities got started
with a pot luck supper• The food
ranged from pretty salads to
chicken and casseroles and even a
codfish in cream sauce with
potatoes and desserts. After
everyone was stuffed to the hilt
and leasurely enjoying another
cup of coffee the Master, Phil
Chapman suggested that we
include with roll call a treasure of
past Christmases from each of our
memory banks. That proved to be
a very delightful interlude that
ranged from nostaligic to
humorous.
el
Many hands make short work
of large jobs and the dishes were
soon sloshed to sparkling
cleanliness and the kitchen
department was taken care of in
fine fashion.
By this time everyone's dinner
had settled in comfortably and
Becky Chapman, daughter of the
Master had a couple of fun games
ready for everyone to join. First,
two teams were chosen and after
two lines were formed each
member of the number one team
was given a large paper bag and
they were asked to remove their
shoes and put them in the bag.
The bags were then passed to
team number two and they each
added their pair of shoes to the
bags. At this point the bags were
taken to the kitchen where the

all
contents were scrambled and the
bags returned so that the two
teams could race (one at a time)
to locate their own shoes, put
them on and return so the next
member of the team could go.
The second game had each
member of the same two teams
place a spoon in their mouth and
pass a marshmallow down the line
to see which teams could finish
first.
Then for a bit of rest after all
the hilarity and exuberance the
games exerted on everyone, song
books were passed around and
Celia Glaser took her place at the
piano to accompany the group in
a number of real old-fashioned
genuine Christmas carols.
The grand finale was the
exchange of gifts that had lain
temptingly under the lovely
Christmas tree all evening. To the
accompaniment of tearing paper
and ohs and ahs the group all
marveled at the cleverness of the
various gifts the others had come
up with and still keep within the
set price range. Sometimes this
takes considerable ingenuity in
these inflationary days.
All in all everyone agreed it
had been a most enjoyable
evening and everyone parted
feeling a wonderful warm glow to
tide them over the next few busy
hectic days before the DAY.
The Harstine Community
Club graciously showed a touch
of good will by allowing the
Agate 4-H Livestock members the
use of the hall for their Christmas
party this Thursday evening• It is
goodly sized group and the only
other place they could locate for
the party was the Lake Limerick
Barn which seemed a bit more
suited for summer doin's
somehow.
Six Islanders. the John Budds,
John Dunlaps, Bob Ireland, and
yours truly attended a very
productive meeting of the Pioneer
School Board last week. ltope
more and more Islanders wilt
contJlme to go and support the
candidate they elected ahnost
unanimously in the coming
months. Oh yes, last but not least,
of course, Reid Mitchell also was
at the meeting!
All the way from Michigan,
comes a very warm, Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year
from Ethel Rigney to all her
Island friends.
