tune smiled on us with delightful
weather as q fitting close to a sue
cessful term of school for 1928.
The school building was taxed to the
utmost to accommodate the large

fully emphasizing the lack Of a build
ing in keeping with the otherwise
progressive spirit Of the community.
Barring the crowded condition and
lack of music, we are much pleased
with our efforts and feel very CRATE
full for the interest and attention ac-
corded US. Our wide-awake. ener-
getic teachers spared no pains to
make the term and it's closing a sue
cess, and the parents and children
~co-operated in a marked degree,
making 1t one of the most successful
terms in the history Of the school.
