pupils will spend the holidays
around the fireside at home. A
change of thoughts and scenery
will occupy the time for the

than has ever been manifestel
so far during the school term.
School enthusiasm ran high in
the lower grades Friday evening.
The pupils had spent rmst of
their spare time during the week

stop and leave popcorn, peanuts
and candy for each bright-eyed
little hopeful.

at the Baptist church. It was
the first time the entire school
