year such successful one. and extending
her Christmas and New Years greeting
to all. She commends the boys Of the
school especially on account OF their
swearing off from the smoking habit. Fol
lowing is her letter!

pupils very merry Christmas. In look

I'VE have all learned that the honor
OF the school Is safe IN the hands Of the
pupils. The recent action OF the boys
in taking care of the use OF tobacco near
the school. and the action OF a club Of
boys who voluntarily pledged themselves
to not use tobacco In any form for a
year. show this. The lessening number
OF cases OF discipline in the office show
also the increasing spirit OF order.
".'This result has been brought about by
the loyal working together OF pupils and
teachers with the office force. Enough
has been done 10 make us feel that we
