The Kindergarten children enjoyed
their Christmas this morning at the
Central school building. They had a
Christmas tree over which Mr.. Allen
of the smelter presided as Santa Claus,
and numerous presents were made by
the children to their parents and
friends and to one another. These
presents were their own handiwork,
such as the children are taught to
make themselves in the school and the
occasion passed off very pleasantly.
There appeared to be about one hun
dred little ones present, and with the
grown folks, the big room was we'll
crowded. After the entertainment was
over, the children had great deal to
talk about: and the scene was one of
lively animation. The room was prettily
trimmed with greens and varied handi-
work of the children.
THE HIGH SCHOOL.
The high school pupils with their
parents and friends filled the high
school room this afternoon on the oc-
casiOn of closing exercises for the
holidays. The walls were attractively
decorated with evergreens of various
kind, mistletoe being the
on the walls also in silver and gilt let
tering. The black boards too were
ornamented with very neat work in
crayon by the pupils. At 1870 p. m, =,
