RCA Photo of the Week - December 14, 2023

Christmas parties are all around us now. To celebrate, let's take a look at a past one that occurred at Croswell Elementary School on December 22, 1967.

The December 28, 1967 issue of The Romeo Observer displays this very photo. It shows Danny Redd dressed up as Santa Claus with his reindeer and fellow students Valerie Rosman and James Halsne. According to the picture's caption, the sign by Danny's wheelchair reads, "'We wish you a Merry Christmas'" - Mrs. Davidson's Third Grade."

This Christmas party was special because Danny had recently come back to school that week after he was hospitalized. Even though The Romeo Observer didn't specify why he was in the hospital, it's good to know that he got better and that he was celebrated at his class's Christmas party.

I hope he and the rest of Mrs. Davidson's third grade class had a wonderful time!
