Our school closed last Saturday
night, Jan. oath, with one of the
grandest entertainments ever given by
a school in western Iron county. Prof
VIM Henderson has been with us tor
the past two years, and we can recon
mend him as being a wide awake
teacher. He has taught two of the
best schools at Burgundy that has ever
been taught prior to that time. He
faithfully executed the laws of the
school from the beginning up to the
last hour. After the entertainment
closed he walked to the front of the
stage and made his final address. His
pupils shed many tears at the thought
of having to see him close the school.
He is not only successful as a teacher
but his kind, manly ways win for him
the love of the scholars. This we
know has a great deal to do with the
school. After the final address Prof
H. was presented with a beautiful
cake, which had been prepared by
the following named pupils: Ollie and
Bessie Henderson, Laura and Lettie
Shy, Efie R. and Allie Stricklin, Effie
G and lola Stricklin. The girls were
highly congratulated by their teacher
and audience. We are sorry We can't
have Prof Henderson for our teacher
next summer. He tells us that he will
start for the west in a short time to
enter the United States civil service
work. We hope you will have success,
w. G.. Ollie Stricklin received the
reward at school last Saturday for hav-
ing received the largest number of
head marks, The music at the enter
tainment was given by James Miner,
John Wilkins and VIM. Hulchins,
v~iolinists, assisted by Fannie B. Rich
ard and VIM Nelson with guitars.
If we are fortunate enough to see
this in print we will come again.
