deferred
Superintendent Carr reported for
the special committee appointed TO lay
out a plan for the school districts part
in the semi-Ccntennial celebration. A
melting of the teachers had been held
Saturday morning. 1t was decided 10
have all of the pupils in the parade,
which is to be headed by the school
board. The high school pupils so ar
ranged and dressed as to represent
the United States flag are to come first
and then the students of the several
schools in the order of their numbers
Each school is to be represented by an
appropriate float.
Three ideas in regard to the raising
of funds We're suggested, viz: A direct
contribution on the part of the school
children; the selling in advance OF
semi-centennial buttons, and thirdly
the selling of photographs of various
parts of the school childrens' parade
The report was received and the com.
mittee continued.
The board granted the use of the
Central school building and grounds
for the reunion of old residents during
the semi-centennial celebration.
Secretary kcrwin was instructed tC
advertise for bids for the supplying OF
coal to the various buildings and it was
decided to make a final settlement with
ex-Janitor Lee by giving him the s2
which has been in dispute since hi,
