the more simple exercises of the
younger children have been carefully
prepared in anticipation of the
Christmas celebrations this afternoon

Christmas trees, short programs by
the scholars, and a feast of apples
and nuts are some of the methods
devised by the Misses Chapman and
Hall to keep their pupils interested.
The exchanging of inexpensive gifts
among the children will undoubtedly
lend considerable enjoyment to the
occasion.

give their program jointly. Uuder
the guidance of the Misses Thompson
and Toomey, the pupils in these
rooms have been working hard on

solo entitled, "a Letter to Santa
