manship and none of the work we no
ticed fell below "a and many ranged
to SO and 100. The pupils of the sixth
grade are among the brightest and
most promising of the school
The seventh grade is in charge of
Miss May Turnkey, one of the tried and
true teachers of the school, identified
with it for a decade and more and her
work of that painstaking and thorough
kind that leaves its impress. Think of
it, she has had enrolment of 81 and

think of the labor necessary to go
around this large circle. This class
work was in neat tablets and some of
it can be designated as illustrated
geography. One of the striking fea-

Drake. The popularity and novelty of
her work is dignitied by photographs
taken by her when on a visit to Lon
don and Europe last summer with her
parents These photos she has sup
piled to the paper and then embelished
the picture with a very excellent YER
bal description of same. Alfred Green,
Johnson Shilling, Eleanor Nixon. Cath
crime Pyles, Ruth Moore and Hugh
knight are possessed of tact and skill
This class has the distinction of hav-
ing Alfred Green with a perfect mark
in geography and Hugh Knight with
perfect mark in arithmetic. Pure
drawing in this grade is excellent and
adOrnS a number of subjects. Spur
geon Ausley is some with the brush in
his Meditation Maiden and The
Hungry Girl" Gladys Drake is strong
on heads and expression of faces Al
fred Mackay's Long Distance Tele-
phone" is decidedly good. as is Oliver
Toffalettis 'Christmas Theme and "A
Message to Santa" Gordon Moorhead's
baseball scene shows he is a lover of
the national sport. Every child in this
grade has a drawing on exhibition.
also maps, which are deserving of
CONNIE ndatiOn.
The eighth grade is presided over by
Miss Georgia Berger and its speciality
is physical drawings and good papers
on grammar and compositions on old
Greek stories, may work of Florida
and the world.
Now come the grammar and high
school departments. presided over by
Prof. J. H Workman, assisted by Miss
McCreery and Miss Richardson. As all
of those teachers We're busy at the
theater decorating the same. we had
no chaperon and browSed around pro-
miScuOuS1y, but saw some excellent
work worthy of mention. Will CTom.
