the school folks. Nature is now
undergoing great change. She
is preparing to put on her spring

be all clad in green. The woods
that surround the school build
ing and the trees on the roadside
to school, and the wild flowers
will afford a good opportunity to
study nature. Along with ma
ture we feel that new energy
and enthusiasm are being put
into our school work.
Appropriate exercises were
arranged for and carried out on

We are all looking forward to
the visit that our honored super
intendent, Mr.. Nash, and our
good friend, Mr.. Cook, are to
make US soon. We are sorry
that we can't be in our new

have it com pleted by the close of
