School No. q.
The Home and School League of
School No. 81 has had a very sue
cessful year. Nine meetings were
held. A pre- entry in September and
eight regular monthly meetings. At
the first regular meeting held 0c-
tober 21st, the following officers were
elected: President, Mrs. Sam Pasco;
first vice. president, Mrs. Swaine; sec
ond vice-president, Mrs. Peak; sec
rotary, Miss Jacoby; treasurer, Miss
Higgins.
The League has forty-eight mem
bers with an average attendance of
l ~ 49,
any meeting, thirty-four. At our
meetings this year we have had sew
eral very good PAPERS read and dis
cussed. During the term we have had
talks from Mr.. Sheriff., Mr.. Hays
and Mr.. Cunningham. On Easter
Monday the children enjoyed an egg
hunt and on May 4th a real party
with entertainment, games. races and
refreshments. The proceeds from the
party were $40. We have bought
Victrola records, a ball and bat and
other playground improvements.
There is now in the treasury $3.50.
We have started a circulating IL
brary for the children and hope to
improve it very much next year. Our
members bring any good magazines
they have finished with to the meet
ings and afterwards they are taken
by the members who want them. We
hope the year 1876 may be equally
as interesting and profitable for
both parents and teachers as the past
year has been.

of great interest to both parents and
