Mr. Comfort, principal OF the Cass
technical High school, visited us,
Monday, Dec. H. and gave an interest.
ing talk to the pupils OF the A room.
In Miss KatZenberg's tB-2t room
every child receives a gold star for
every five 100" spelling papers. Also.
the child who has the most "chalk"
stars for perfect work with number
and letter cards during one week re-
ceiyes an additional gold star. Up TO
the present writing Elizabeth Mathay,
Anna May McCafferty, Anesta Streng
and Francis Van Horn have the most
stars, each OF them having four.
AS school closes Dec. %, for the
holidays, We will bid goodbye to all
school work for a little while. The
editors wish all the teachers and pu-
pills or the Lillibridge school a Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year.
We hope TO meet all again Jan. 4. or
the new year, 1915.
The skating Is fine at the Water
Works park these days, and many or
the Lillibridge boys and girls are
found after school enjoying this sport.
IL is rumored that one or two OF our
number forgot 10 come to school one
day because Of this attraction.
They tell US that at a meeting OF
the Greater East Detroit Improve
ment association. held not long ago,
II was recommended that an addition
be made TO Lillibridge school. This
would do away with our six halliday
sessions and our portable. We think
II II were left TO the boys and girls to
decide, the addition would surely be
built. We have land enough now for
another addition and lots OF heat go
ing to waste, even during these cold
days.
Howard Turnet editor of room l.,
is i'll.
Harry Morton, of room b, has gone
TO Pennsylvania to live. We are sorry
to lose him from our room.
Emma Hopkins, from the Ives
school. is new pupil in room G. The
pupils OF room & are at present study
ing q Christmas poem called God
Bless Us Every One" by James Whit
comb Riley.
The BIS have learned the following:
"0ur lives are songs, God writes the
words,
And we set them TO music at leisure.
And the song grows glad or sweet
or sad.
AS we choose to fashion the measure.
III.
I'VE must write to the music, what
ever the song,
Whatever its ryhme or meter;
And IL IL is sad we can made IL glad,
Or sweet, we can make it sweeter."
All of the rooms are prettily deco
rated for Christmas with bells and
wreaths. The kindergarten and room
u (A-B-1) are especially attractive.
Room f had very pretty stereop-
ticon lesson last Wednesday on Ven
ice, Rome. Naples and Mt. Vesuvius.
Room + also had a stereopticon les
son on London, Scotland and Ireland.
John Steed, of last June's gradual
ing class, now student, at Eastern.
