SWING AND A MISS: Miss Geneva Satterthwaite's kindergarten class at Burns Park School had a rare treat yesterday when a classmate, Ronald Scott, 5, brought a Mexican pinata to school. Here, one of the youngsters, blindfolded, takes a swing at the pinata, a paper-decorated container filled with candy, as Ronald's sister, Carol Anne Scott, 10, (far left) jerks it up out of the way by means of a rope. Hitting the pinata is a Mexican Yule custom.
