PARK SCHOOL RECEPTION.
The reception given at Park school Fri
day afternoon between the hours of 2 and
was a success in every particular. The
rooms and halls were beautifully deco
rated in Christmas greens which. together
with the happy faces and cordial manner
of both teachers and pupils inspired the
true holiday spirit and all except the most
pleasant features Of school life were for
gotten. There were obliging ushers from
each OF the six grades who waited in the
halls and doorways ready to answer ques-
tons and provide seats and a sound OF
music, recitation and dialogue pervaded
ALL
The holly, mistletoe and evergreen add
ed much to the beauty OF the interior but
Park school has ever been noted for its
attractive rooms which are always deco
rated with flags, flowers and pictures OF
every description. The poets, historians
novelists, statesmen and presidents look
down at one from every wall, while pic
tured birds and animals and many other
subjects for nature study are seen in
great number. The artists are represent
ed mere by some of their nobest efforts,
including copies of the "Madonnas" from
the hands of all. The board work in all
of the rooms attracted much attention,
for some of the borders and pictures are
certainly worthy more lasting place.
Altogether the entertainment was a most
charming success, both from an educa-
tional standpoint and the large number
of patrons and friends who attended ex-
pressed themselves as highly delighted.
