-Four new pupils have been received
during the past year, Josephine E. Abb
hott of Pittsfield. Edward Curley of
Portland, Edward Lacomb of Water

who have begun to do good work In
the several school grades to which
they have been assigned.
alexander ST Pierre of Brunswick
and Lucy H. Shean of East Milinock-
ct have been absent throughout the
year and therefore no charge has been
made against your State for their

with credit and has received his dlplo-
