that place.
The first primary teacher reports no
hardness among her 81 little ones, for
the month just closed. Can the larger
pupils make as good showings
Vivien Broughton and Eddie Snow
of the 9TH grade surely deserve to be
called "star scholars" as both have
gained exemption from every examina-
ton this year, on account OF excellent
attendance, department, and high daily
standings.
The highest grade in our grammar
school is working hard in preparation
for their graduating exercises, which
will be held in the Opera House the

Little Floy Rickerson, of the first
primary, has only been absent one-half
day this year, and her teacher Is cores

very important over their anticipated
promotion to the second primary, and
being questioned by their teacher as tC
how many of them would try to stay in
school throughout the entire course
seventeen promptly declared their un
questionable intention to become
graduates from our high school. We
wonder if seven out of the seventeen
will remain faithful.
