Hurrah for vacation!

Hurrah for vacation!
1t would be hard to tell how many
happy youngsters tossed their hats In
the air and gave vent to the cheer at
o'clock yesterday afternoon and it
would be still harder to tell how many
hearts echo 1t.
The public schools closed yesterday
and for almost three whole months the
small boy and his small sister will be
in the land of bliss; the land where
school books give place to play and
bare feet are the prevailing fashion.
This morning there will be an hour
of suspense while the children return
to the school rooms which are al
ready beginning to seem like a dream,
and squirm around in their seats while
teachers produces those fateful white
cards that are to bring joy to some
and woe to others.
Closing Exercises
Closing exercises in the schools have
never been so generally observed as
they were yesterday and some of the
pupils bade fair to rival the class days
of students many years their seniors,
while the invitations sent out to par
ents and members Of the board were

programs was that presented at the
