LYNNWOOD SCHOOL HAS
CLOSED FOR THIS TERM

Friday, May 5, was closing day
at Lynnwood school and was fit
tingly observed by bc.il pupils
and patrons.
By 1870 large number of pa
irons had gathered and all as
sembled in the auditorium where
very interesting little program
was rendered by the pupils of
Miss Mccall, Miss Hullihen and
Miss Shafer, who have taught the
first six grades during the term.
The program, while not an elab-
crate one, was very practical and
showed just the work that these
three splendid teachers have been
carrying on during the term, and
they, both teachers and pupils are
to be commended upon their ex-
cellent work.
At the close of the program
Miss 1ullihen made a short talk
upon the Importance of punctal-
ity and regularity of attendance,
after which she introduced to the
audience Master Gene Ridge
Second grade) and Master Frank
Louthan (sixth grade) who have
neither missed a day nor been
tardy during the school term. She
then delivered to them honorary
certificates of attendance. Miss
Agnes Louthan, third grade)
Master Efhe Osborne (second
grade) and Master Otis Osborne
(thlrd grade) also received at
tendance certificates for having
been neither absent nor tardv
during the first six months of
the term.
Both pupils and teachers are to
be envied for this splendid out
look, and such speaks we'll for
Lynnwood school.
After the basket dinner served
by the ladies in the grove near
the school the crowd again as
sembled in the auditorium where
]. l.. P1ttman, the county farm
demonstration agent gave a very
valuable and interesting talk.
The patrons of the school learn
with much regret that they are
to lose all three of ( these lady
teachers who have so endeared
themselves to both large and
small.
Miss Shafer and Miss Hullihen
have been with the school for five
and four years respectively, and
have proven themselves of inval-
liable merit to the schools, and
both by their kind care and low
ing hearts have endeared them
selves to all the pupils in such
way that time can never efface
the good they have accomplish
ed.
Miss Mccall, while having been
with us only one year, has prov
en- herself of inestimable value to
the school and the pupils are I'M
consolable over the fact that nei-
Their of the three will return to
LynnWood.
Mis- Shafer, we understand, will
not teach at all during the next
year but will spend the summer
at Athens at the University Sum
mer School.
Miss Mccall also intends at
tending school at Athens, but has
not definitely settled her plan of
work for the coming year.
Miss Hullihen, we learn, will
leave at once for Thayer, Mo,
and We understand she is to teach
Primary Language and Story
telling in the summer school at
Mammoth Springs, Ark, begin
ming May p. She will teach al
SO in Missouri for the coming
year. Miss Hullihen is to be con-
graduated upon securing her po-
sition for the summer, and it
speaks well of her ability and
worth as a teacher. In losing her
Ben Hill county loses one of her
best teachers.
The best wishes of the patrons
and the love of the pupils will go
with them all wherever they may
go, and they will always be we'll
remembered by all who knew
them.
