This is What a Green Lake Christmas Party Looked Like in 1961

via Seattle.gov
We recently ran across these Christmas photos taken at the Green Lake Community Center (then called the Green Lake Field House) dated December 8, 1961. The 57 year old photo shows children seeing Santa arrive and later lining up to chat with with his jolly self at what was described as a Engineering Department Christmas party. Notice the kids pointing and clapping as Santa makes his grand entrance into the room. While the styles in this photo have changed from today the excitement of seeing Old Saint Nick certainly hasn’t.
