It was “Dress as your Favorite Christmas Character” day at Ada schools on Friday. 

There were lots of Grinches, Who’s, reindeer, elves and other holiday characters you’d expect.

Then came Arlene Allision, straight out of “White Christmas.” Ada HS senior Nora Dellifield, who intends to be a costume designer, created the showpiece as a 4-H project last summer. Nora is the daughter or David and Jami Dellifield.

Here’s the story of the red and white gown:

"Arlene wanted a red dress like the one in the movie White Christmas,” Nora recalled.  “She asked for the dress for months, so I finally decided to make it.”

RAWSON - Visiting Ada got off to a good start and beat Cory-Rawson decisively 65-50 in a non-conference boys basketball game Saturday night.

Ada led 16-8 after one period and maintained that eight-point edge into halftime. The Bulldogs stretched their margin to 48-35 heading to the final stanza, which they won 17-15.

Bulldog junior guard Brandon Hull scored 20 points to lead the victors. Junior wing Micah Cook netted 13 markers, and senior post Jake Rayl tossed in a dozen points.

The Bulldogs improved to 3-5 overall with their second win in as many nights, while C-R fell to 2-4 with the defeat.

FROM ADA BULLDOGS FACEBOOOK  – In the spirit of giving during the holiday season, Ada fifth grade students collected items including coloring books, crayons and activity books to be donated to a pediatric wing at a local hospital.

Fifth graders wrote on Ada Bulldgos Facebook: 'We know that children of all ages may find themselves needing medical care this Christmas and we thought it would be nice to offer them some holiday cheer."

The items are donated in memory of Taylor Carder. Taylor's mother, Kelly Carder, is an aide at Ada schools. She lost her daughter, Taylor, in a car accident six years ago.
