airs of the High school made very neat I
present to Mrs. A. d. Roe, the frs: assis-
tant teacher. The present was very I
beautiful hair wreath, made of hair from
each of the young misses of the school, and
placed in an oval gilt frame. In the centre
Of the wreath was the following inscription,
Beautifully wrought with pen "Present- ;
ed to Mrs. A. d. Roe, by her pupils of the
Bellows Falls High School, April 4th,
1852" The wreath is neatly and inge-
niousIy made, and we are informed was
principally the handi-work of Miss Alsina
Rice. The presentation was accompanied
by an appropriate and well spoken address
by Miss Ellen Leach. The occasion was
one of much feeling on the part OF both
teacher and pupils, as well as OF interest,
and Mrs. Roe we'll merits and deserves the
attention she has received and while the
pupils have done themselves much credit
in this act of theirs, they have made pres
ent to one who will appreciate their kind
ness.
We learn that Mr.. Roe, the Principal,
also received handsome present from his
pupils, as did also Miss Carrie f. Horton,
assistant teacher, and these tokens of re-
gard between teacher and scholar, are
highly gratifying. Mr.. and Mrs. Roe
having closed their school, will soon re-
move to other parts, and in so doing viii
leave very many warm friends in this place.
AS teachers we can cordially commend
them, though we believe they do not in
tend longer to follow that calling. Wherey-
en- their lot may be cast, their friends here
will wish them much happiness and sue
cess.
