Cybes cordials and other dainties were dispensed. At ten the smaller children awaited Santa Claus as war horns and bells signaled his arrival from the school steps.
Figus Bros of the Grand Cafe Yeoval Wave act as Santa Claus for Yeoval Public and Convent Schools. Pupils receive large cream sets as gifts with sweets for teachers and nuns.
