The event was held on Sunday, November 19, 1989, at the Hancock Conference Center in Boston. Thirty children and their parents, dressed in a multitude of costumes, participated in the fun and games. Robots, "baba yagas," southern belles, mice, rabbits and pirates were a few of the delighted guests who danced, marched, sang and plainly enjoyed the afternoon. The program included traditional tales of "Koza Dereza" and "Rukavy– chka," enacted by children in the various animal roles. The highlight of the afternoon was Peter Piaseckyj, a very shy clown, who entertained the giggling children with his skits and led them in a parade around the hall. Through their decorative efforts, Ksenia vitvitsky and Nina Piaseckyj turned the hall into an enchanted land. Zina Kondratiuk arranged the delicious and nutritious buffet and irena Kowal coordinated the event and arranged for Act Tunes, a children's theatre in Concord, to lend their innovative props Pupils of St. John's Ukrainian Catholic Church in Newark, N.J., perform at their Christmas concert. and add to the storybook ambiance. by Olenka Yurchuk Thanks to the creative efforts of the Zirka Bereza (upper grades) and Na– More than one parent who attended school's principal, Sister Maria Ro– talka Kudryk (lower grades), two the afternoon's festivities commented zmarynowycz, the children spent over a choirs sang carols from Ukraine, En- that the masquerade was a refreshing NEWARK, N.J. - St. John the change of pace, a potential annual event Baptist Ukrainian Catholic School here month rehearsing for the performance. gland, Spain, Austria and France, presented its fourth annual Christmas Over the past four years the students interspersed with recitations and com– concert on Sunday, December 17, in the have accumulated a impressive reper– mentary on Christmas traditions of the Kozak scholar festive atmosphere of the parish church. toire of popular and regional Ukrai– various countries. nian koliady and shchedrivky. : The program ernded with special speaks at schDol in sharp contrast to the commercia– thanks and Christmas greetings from by ivanka Olesnycky lism found in today's world, the concert This year's program also included St. John's pastor, the Rev.
