TOL EDO SCHOOL
ENTERTAINME Mt
Toledo Schools Closed a Most
Successful Nine Months
Term Last Tuesday.

The schools have always been the
pride of our city, and the term Just
closed has been fully up to the
standard. The excellent corps of
teachers during the past term have
proved themselves to be instructors
of much merit and have won the
Confidence of both the pupils and
patrons. All of the teachers except
Prof. Weber have taught from one
to three terms here, which, Of
course, means that they have given
entire satisfaction. Mr.. Weber
came among us practically strang-
er, but he is a stranger no more.
He is a thorough practical instruc-
tor. We are pleased to announce
that at the last meeting of the Board
of Directors all the teachers, Pro-
fessors Wilson and Weber, Mrs.
Coin, Misses Addie and Edith Har-
rison, were reelected to teach next
years term. Miss Addie Harrison
has since resigned and Miss Jeane
Sharman has been elected to fill
the vacancy.
On Monday evening the closing
exercises were held at Woodmen
Hall. As usual the entire town
turned out to hear and see the little
folks. The program was carried
out to the letter and every number
was well rendered and showed great
care and effort on the part of the
teachers and pupils in preparing.
There were recitations, songs, drills
and dialogues and all were well
rendered and each worthy of special
praise.
Wednesday evening the graduat-
ing class of the High School, as
sisted by other High School pupils,
gave Il play entitled Just for Fun"
at Woodmen Hall. The play was
well presented. After the play the

people. The graduating class con-
sisted of four members, Miss Esther
