Historical Reflections








The Christmas concert at Sawtooth Elementary in December 1985 featured costumes, skits, singing and music. The Dec. 19 issue of the Cook County News-Herald called the second graders’ singing and performance of The Marvelous Toy as “the hit of the night.” The skit featured a song about a young child who gets a toy that can only be described as “marvelous” because nobody has any idea what it is supposed to be. Jeremiah Yeary is seen here in his box-shaped costume, portraying the toy that makes all sorts of funny noises and movements.
