The children were surely put to the test in spelling, arithmetic and geography and came through with ny- ing colors. The visitors were astonish- ed and delighted at the way the little folk did their work. They were quick and thorough and clearly showed the ground work was there. They certain ly in this contest did credit to their teachers and to themselves. Therc followed recitations and songs relative to Flag day, we'll done in all cases. After singing n very catchy vacation song the prizes were awarded the boy and girl in each grade having the highest number of marks for the term just ending. Thus closed very pleas ant afternoon spent in our little dis trict school, the parents present deeply grateful to the teachers for the hard work they must have had to make such a showing in school too, where for many reasons 1t is more trying than others.

Graduation Exercises
Interesting and Instructive
A Large Attendance of Friends

Miss Alton was her own accompanist, her first number being "Tasanitza.' For an encore she sang "Annie Lau- rie," and aside from her exquisite rem dering of this old favorite, her accom- paniment alone was a beautiful piano solo, each verse having a different set ting. Miss Alton is having month s vacation after 45 weeks tour as solo ist with the Florentine singers. She certainly delighted every one with her wonderful voice and artistic work.
 It was ll.30 when the company be- gan to disperse, and the "unanimous' opinion to quote MT. Burnette) was that the reunion of 1912 was the best and most enjoyable of any yet held.
