Notable Exercises at Tuscarora
School Last Friday-More Volumes
Added to the Library.
Communicated.

Tuscarora School, of which Miss
Kathryn Nihion is teacher, closed it's
term on last Friday. 1t has been in
many respects n of the most sue
cessful terms. The enrollmer. was
twenty-five, with an average daily at
tendance of nineteen for the term.
The names of those neither absent
nor bardy during the last month are
as follows:
Stuart Kilmer, Earl Kilmer, Rich
ard Small, Fred Small, Albert Cookus,
Walter Kilmer, Bell Mason, Leila
Noll, Mabel Kilmer, Ada Cookus and
Nellie Ray Vanmeter.
Five were neither absent nor tardy
during the term: Earl Kilmer, AL
bert Cookus, Walter Kilmer, Leila
NoTl and Mabel Kilmer.
The school closed with an entertain
ment, which consisted of songs. recita-
tions and dialogues. Many of the pa
irons and friends attended. Several
from this city were in attendance,
among them were Rev. and Mrs. c.
S. Trump. After the closing exercises
Rev. c. S. Trump delivered an address
after which he presented each pupil
with a gift. We highly appreciate the
interest he has manifested In the
school during the term. His interest
and helpful words have been felt and
appreciated by both teacher and pu-
pills.
Soon after the school opened last
fall a festival was held, the proceeds
of which were to be used to increase
the number of books in the library.
We realized seventeen dollars from
the festival. This enabled us TO place
in the library a number of volumes,
a neat and attractive book case, was
purchased, five appropriate pictures
were added to those already on the
walls, a water cooler was gotten, and
each pupil requested to provide him
self with a drinking cup, the greatest
%precaution was taken to guard against
contagious disease.
Through the kindness and generos-
ity of Mr.. Charles Trump, jr., of this
city, ten volumes were contributed to
the library, and n by Miss Eliza
beth Whisner of the county. This
kind thoughtfulness has been a source
of great pleasure to us.
Arbor Day was observed both fall
and spring. Several trees and pieces
of shrubbery were planted. Most of
these are growing nicely and win add
much to the appearance of the school
yard.
The pupils have arranged to hold a
picnic on Wednesday, May Is in the
woods adjoining the school.
