Tea Tray Drill.
The primary department received the usual
applause, and several recitations by pupils in
the intern ediate and high school rooms are
deserving of special and honorable mention.
The tea tray drill, which closed the exercises,
was given under the direction of Misses
Wightman and Darling, by 16 boys and girls
from the intermediate and primary depart
ments. Sashes of red. white and blue were
worn, and each carried tea-tray with deco
rations of the same color as the sash. March
ing and counter-marching with a number of
pretty exercises were included in this drill,
which was given to music furnished by Miss
Alice D. Maynard. The children kept ad-
mirable time and went through the pre-
scribed order in a very graceful and dignifed
manner. One pretty feature of the drill was
the singing Of patriotic songs. AS whole,
the evening was success, and reflects credit
on the schools. 1t was a financial success
also, for the re eceipts were $50.
