Several weeks have passed since my last update in the Acantha due to ongoing snow storms. The editor notes continued winter weather has hindered reporting and fieldwork, delaying expected community notes and local updates.
The Social Club held its Christmas party on December 10 at Mrs. Johnny Swanson Jr.'s home. Officers for the coming year were elected with Mrs. Bob Brownell as president and Mrs. Wagner Halverson as secretary treasurer. Gifts came from Secret Friends who revealed names and drew new ones for next year. Also noted were illnesses and dinners with Mr Jack Hughes, Mr and Mrs Charles Johns, and Mr and Mrs Al Warneke among others.
Local families held Christmas gatherings and dinners from December 14 to 19 at homes and community halls. Events included Sewing Club party with gift exchanges, a card party, and a Farmers Union hall gathering. Several residents traveled to Great Falls and Bozeman for meetings and holidays.
The church hosted a program featuring kindergarten through junior classes. Mrs. John Swanson Jr. led the kindergarten, Ruth Ann Swanson directed the primary class, and the Junior class was taught by Mrs. George.
The program featured Porter giving recitations followed by a participation-filled event where all children performed. The choir presented a Christmas cantata titled Angelis. Mrs. Max Hoeschen departed Thursday to visit relatives in Washington.
