Text transcribed from caption: PC-47800 THE EXCITEMENT AND JOY... (First of Two Photos) NEW YORK-- The excitement and joy of the Christmas season is written all over the faces of children as they meet Santa Claus. They were the guests of honor at the annual fund-raising party given for the youngsters of the New York Foundling hospital and other programs of the New York Catholic archdiocese. As Cardinal Terence Cooke, who hosted the party, said, "when you see the simplicity and joy of these children responding to the love of others, that's the real Christmas spirit of love and concern."
