One of the most enjoyable events of the
season was the reception given by Miss
Ethel Guild and her pupils of the higher
department of the village school, at the
town hall last Friday evening. A literary
| and musical program of a high order was
presented and this was followed by marches
after which refreshments of cake, sand
witches and coffee were served. It would
! be hard to commend any particular part Of
the program as each number was very well
rendered and showed much work on the
! part of the students and much painstaking
! drill on the teachers part. The hall was
tastefully decorated with evergreen and
! bunting. The attending company to the
number of about 100, consisting Of the pu
| pills, their parents, and few invited
friends, enjoyed themselves to the fullest
extent. It would be well if we could have
more such gatherings.
