The art exhibit some of which

features OF this exhibit was the
Calendar designed by Miss Cantrell,
The calendar began In the room
where the primary exhibits of the
=
TENDER was represented by large
picture of a school building into
which children were hurrying. The
name of the month was spelled in
school blocks, October was repre-
scented by an autumn scene and the
letters telling the month were on
bright colored leaves. November
was spelled on pumpkins and Decem-
Der with snow men. The December
picture represented three pictures of
Christmas times, the Star In the
East, the Wise men and another.
January made one shiver and the
picture depicted boys sliding down
snow coated hill. For February
Valentine hearts formed the basis
for the name OF the month but the
picture depicted Washington and
Lincoln as their birthdays come in
this month. March was easily
known by the wind and kites, more

May flowers besides the June scene,
butterflied, finished the calendar.

near his hay stack and Humpty
Dumpty reposed on his wall but
never did fall off. Jack and jill
were on their way up the hill" car
rying IA bucket between them. On
the walls above were writing exer-
cises. This year for the first time
the first grade children have not
been allowed to plunge right into
the work OF forming queer shaped
letters, but have undergone sys-
