establishment. 1t is proposed to install
set of exhibit cases and to have per-
manent school exhibit in this room.

brass band is being perfected. 1t is

horns that have been listed with the
committee by different parties in town.
The superintendent office is an un-
usually attractive place these days.
The sewing girls made set of pretty
curtains for the windows in the Office
