/ Public School Christmas Exercises.
The children of the High School 10 this
city gave very pleasing entertainment
last Friday afternoon, at the school house.
Among those present We noticed School
Directors R. II. Dilts and F. F. Lear, and
and number of ladies and gentlemen,
parents of the children and others. All
were well repaid for their attendance.
The scholars acquitted themselves well
both in the recitations and in singing, and
the exercises were not extended to
tiresome length.
The room was neatly decorated with
evergreens and flags and small cedar trees
stood in each window. The pupils show
ed the excellent training of their teachers
in the order that was observed, and in the
manner In which the classes entered and
left the room.
Principal A. P. Kerr had charge of the
exercises and deserves praise for the sue.
cess with which they passed of. Below

just before the closing song Principal
Kerr was surprised by -the following
poctical address from Master r. T. Will
mot, one of his pupils:
Permit me word before parting, dear teacher,
I'm neither an orator, lawyer or preacher,
But speak In behalf of the Sub-Senior Class
We thank you, dear teacher, for all kindly aid,
As into the depths OF our lessons we wade,
And do all We can 70 follow the rule
By getting of knowledge our craniums full.
Your heart we would cheer
Not by words merely spoken
But thus We would thankfully offer this token.
At this season Of JOY In the gay Christmas tide
abide
loVe tnats unmeasured by dimes or by dollars,
But that comes from the heart Of each one of your
scholars.
And presented him with leather case
containing combs, brushes, SC.
Miss Annie F. Stout and Miss Ida F.
Stout also received presents from their
classes, the former presented by Master
Louis G. Williams, and the latter by Miss
Sylvia Green.
1t is but just TO state that the children

Stout, the latter of whom presided at the
organ.
