[printed caption under group photo: MR. AND MRS. S. CLAUS GREETED ON RIDE IN "CUTTER" -- Pupils of public school
No. 44, Twenty-first street and Sugar Grove avenue, yesterday welcomed Santa Claus and Mrs.
Claus, driving an old-fashioned sleigh over the snow. Mrs. M. Taylor was Santa and Mrs. H. P.
Willwerth was Mrs. Santa. Charles Cropper is the owner of both horse and sleigh. (Star Staff

In about 1928 Miss Kirby
and the P.T.A. Board decided a
Santa for the Christmas party
would be a wonderful surprise
for the children. They asked
Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Willworth
to impersonate Santa and his
wife.

The first few years we
visited all the rooms and
pranced up and down the
halls, to the tune of sleigh
bells, also going into the
portables which were a part
of the school at that time.
About the third year, we
borrowed a horse and sleigh
from the Cropper Saddle Barn
and drove into the playground.
