CLOSING EXERCISES.
The East Side Public School LET out
Books" tor Vacation Season

Yesterday the closing exercises of
the East side public were had and
the school was closed for the sum-
mer vacation.
The past session has been a sue
cessful one under Prof. Allen Win
ham, who has given satisfaction to
both the school board, the teachers
and pupils, and much good in an
educational way has been extracted
from ldbors of the Professor and
his corps of teachers.
The roster shows the following
teachers who have labored in this
school the past session:
First, or primary grade was
taught by Miss Mamie Kenyon,
Second grade by Miss Florence Cook,
Third grade by Miss Lizzie Graves,
Fourth by Miss Ethel Pearl Fifth
Miss Lallie Witherspoon, Sixth Miss
Monte Brewer, Seventh Miss Mamie
Dickson and Eighth by the principal,
Prof. Allen Winham.
The number OF pupils enrolled was
$40, and the daily average atten-
dance was 1872, and the per cent of
attendance counting, 1876 days as
the session was 65 per cent.
There were 81 promotions from the
9Th grade to the 9th grade, which
has just been established, by our
board of school directors.
The school laws of Arkansas re-
quires a pupil TO go through the
eleventh grade before they can
claim a diploma, and as it will be
three sessions before these grades
will be established we must await
this time before our East side
pupils will be given a chance to
bow before a Texarkana audience
in valedictory exercises,
We are glad to know the school is
fourishing,
After the doors were closed yes
terday the pupils in the Ninth
grade asked Professor Winham to
accompany them in ride to Spring
Lake park, which he accepted and
they all repaired there on the sum-
mer cars and spent an hour prone
nading in the shade of the trees.
