FORT MCPHERSON YOUTHS ENTERTAIN
"A group of young people 16-17 years of age, sponsored by Chaplin
Webb of Fort McPherson, came to give a Christmas Party to the children
on December 19. They came in reponse to a:letter written to the Comman-
der General by the Center's Social Worker, Mrs. Dorothy Yang, asking for
their involvement in the EOA program.
“ Ronald Gregory, 17, played Santa Claus. His mystical powers turned
the center into a fairytale land. These five young people of Fort Mc-
Pherson raised the money of $50 by putting on a play and by selling them=
selves as slaves for a day. They brought personal gifts for each child
in addition to the candies, cookies, cokes and music for the party. The
sound of Christmas music and the sight of Santa Claus not. only delighted
the Center's children, but also attracted the whole population of the
neighborhood, There must have been over 100 children and adults who talked
to Santa Claus and partook of the Christmas goodies. It was a real festive
time for the whole community around the center."
