              SANTA CLAUS AND PINATA
PART OF HEAD START CHRISTMAS
Neighborhood Notes
Santa Claus chats with the "angels" before the program starts
at the Elati Head Start. The children sang Christmas songs before going outdoors to break a pinata. That authentic looking
Santa Claus is Mrs. Victoria Martinez of 118 Fox, who has a foster
son and a grandson in the Elati Head Start Even they were
fooled at first.
Everyone gathered outside for the pinata-breaking. Afterwards, the children each received a stocking with candy and fruit
and a gaily wrapped present. Santa Claus handed out the gifts
and even had some time to listen to a few requests for presents.
The mother's group of the Head Start did most of the work behind the scenes to make the party a success.

Many West Side
Homes Decorated
For Christmas
The West Side neighborhood
was dotted this year with homes
decorated for the holidays. One
home, the Silletto residence at
643 Elati Street, won first prize
in the Denver Post child's-first-
time entry division. The decorations at the Silletto home
were designed by Benny Silletto.
Other families with lavishly
decorated homes included the
Samuel Charons', 1024 Lipan;
the Bennies Mares', 945 Lipan;
The Edwin Mcllwains, 175 West
Archer Place; the Carl Bevans',
615 Galapago; the A. J. Luce-
ros', 547 Galapago; and the
Pete Candelarias, 223 Galapago.
The Recorder's amateur staff
tried to get pictures of these
and other homes but the pictures turned out poorly because
of camera movement due to
lack of a tripod. Night photo-
raphy requires a long exposure
time during which it is impossible for a person to hold a camera completely still. The result is that pictures taken without a tripod are blurred. The
only one of the pictures taken
by the Recorder staff that was
even recgnizable was that of
the John Alvarado home.
Although we were unable to
publish good pictures of Christmas decorations we still want
to thank the many families who
devoted so much effort to
brightening the holiday season.
