A seasonal favourite thrills

Our first Christmas tree Surrey pioneer Mary Jane Shannon recalls the day her drab little school house was turned into a fairy land
O
ur first Christmas tree was a great surprise to us, and was due entirely to the kindness of our teacher, Mr. J. A. McLean, a tall kindly man whom we all respected and loved. Not only was he a kind and sympathetic teacher, but he was also a lively playfellow who entered into our sports with zest and good humour. Before school closed for the Christmas holidays, he held a written examination for the senior class of which both my eldest brothers and I were members. For the pupils with the highest marks he offered five dollars. Of course the chance of winning such a sum was a great incentive to study, and we all dug in, though I had little hope of the prize, not being one of the top students. Some of the parents, perhaps feeling that the teacher whose salary was small enough, thought that he was being unduly generous, and suggested that the pupils should make him a present of some sort. A writing case was decided upon which was well equipped with pens and a supply of good note paper. When the examination papers were corrected, my brother Sam and one other pupil were found to have tied in the total of the tests. The results were announced on closing day to a crowded room, as the competition had stirred a good deal of interest. After the teacher had made the announcement and awarded the divided prize money, the two winners made the presentation, which the teacher received with undoubted appreciation that bordered on emotion, so much so,
that his voice quavered and his hand shook a little as he said a few words of thanks. Then it was that he threw another surprise on the surprise. Getting to his feet again he suggested that we have a Christmas tree and concert to be held right here in our little class room.. The suggestion quitee electrified those present nt and for a brief period there was only silence. Then one of the trustees agreed that there was no reason why we should not have a tree, for the children had studied hard and deserved a treat as a Christmas gift. Other voices joined in and it was not long before the whole thing was arranged, the money collected, a good programme promised, and all in an amazingly short time. With much excitementt and elation at the prospect of the first Christmas tree ever held in the place, the gathering broke up and left for home. The next few days were busy ones, for Christmas was less than a week away. However there was hearty cooperation on the part of the entire community, the men
searching the woods for a suitable tree, a committee chosen to go to New Westminster to buy the gifts, and the women busy at making refreshments for the expected crowd. Certainly their combined efforts made a great success of the affair. success our For a huge su first Christmas tree proved to be. The little littl school house was cro crowded to the doors and to us u the pupils, the drab little b building was turned into a fairy fa land, festooned with ccedar boughs, the tall evergreen tree t filling one corner, loaded with presents for the childr children and gaily decorated with w coloured ornament ornaments and bright cand candles. We were an excited lot of children who gathered w iin front seats aand gazed at this amazing th and beautifu beautiful spectacle. No doubt we also stared at the crowd pushing into the already overfu overfull room, many of them utter strangers whom we had never seen before. It was surprising that so many people lived close enough to have heard of our little Christmas entertainment, let alone to have come to it. Presently a chairman was chosen and given a seat on the platform. He was a jolly,
witty old sea captain who carried off his duties to the enjoyment of all. As for the program, it was a medley of everything from the sacred to the comic. We had need of the Captain’s jollity and wit to carry it off. I think all the old stand-bys which had come to the fore at entertainments for years appeared again, “When You and I were Young Maggie,” “Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight,” “I’ve Wandered in the Village Tom,” “Death of Napoleon,” and other old favourites which still thrilled us. Then came the distribution of presents which was the greatest thrill of all. Some of the grown ups also got presents which were on the comical side and afforded a great deal of merriment. Refreshments were duly passed and enjoyed by every one. Finally desks were pushed to the wall, a fiddler given a seat on the platform, and young people took to the floor and danced with vim and vigor. They were still dancing when we with our parents left the gay scene and stepped out into the darkness of night. It had begun to snow, but who cared for snow. We had just had a happy, wonderful experience and passed another milestone in our lives. – From ‘Memories’, by Surrey pioneer Mary Jane Shannon, available at the Surrey Archives. She was a student, and eventually a teacher, at Clover Valley School. She later pursued a career in nursing.
