Past Events in the 1880s: Sunday School Treat - 1890 January
 |
"There were very few absentees from the gathering of the Sunday School children on Boxing Day at 5 p.m. The large schoolroom was tightly filled with the children and teachers and a few friends. Before the prizes were distributed, the infants gave several recitations, notably that concerning the death of Cock Robin, which gave great satisfaction to the audience. |
The girls also sang, but the boys reserved their
voices for the general harmony of the evening which was of the heartiest
and loudest description imaginable. The prizes were distributed by
two young people and, in most cases were the highly merited reward
of excellent attendance during the year. The Magic Lantern exhibited
by the Vicar, was as usual highly appreciated by the little folk,
and, together with the buns, sweets and oranges, exactly suited their
tastes. Altogether it was a most successful evening, and we trust
it will conduce to the success of the Sunday School during the coming
year." |
