The pupils of the primary depart
ments of the Sank Centre public
schools, gave an entertainment at the
opera house Friday evening that was
a success in every way.
The little ones all performed their
parts well, the house was crowded to
such an extent that standing room was
at, premium and the financial re-
turns were satisfactory.
Those who took part in the enter
tainment were pupils from the pri-
mary, first, second and third grades.
The entertainment showed that much
care and attention had been taken by
the teachers of these departments to
drill and perfect their charges in their
parts. The general public probably
does not really know what patience,
care and hard work is required on
the part of the instructors to put on
so elaborate and successful an offer
ing as was given at the public hall
Friday evening. 1t is nerve racking
in the extreme and the teachers who
so successfully performed their parts
in this matter, are certainly deserving
the thanks of the public.
Miss Wood has charge of the pri-
mary room; Miss Smith of the first
grade; Miss Maybury Of the second
grade; Misses Cady and Westby have
the two third grade rooms. Several
of the other teachers assisted in MAX
ing the program go and it went with
out hitch. Miss De Mueles presided
at the piano for one or two numbers,
while pupils from the different de-
partments also helped Miss Wood
played for the minuet and other ev-
olutions
The receipts from the entertainment
were between $500 and $4,000. The
Board Of Education will look after
the expenditure of the money, which
will be used to purchase pictures or
to buy an additional piano for the use
of the schools.
