SANDYVlLLE.
A most enjoyable entertainment
and social was held Friday night
December l, at the school. Quite an
interesting Thanksgiving program
was rendered by the pupils consisting
of recitations, dialogues and songs by
Mrs. Henry Meckley and Wilbur
Yingling, friends of the school. AT
the close cake and lemonade were
served to all. A large crowd was
present patrons and friends. The
sum of $11.50 was realized, which will
be used later toward purchasing an
organ. Mr.. Ulysses III. Shipley, the
faithful and efficient teacher, deserves
a great deal of credit, he has taught
this school for Is years and has given
every attention to the pupils. The
school house has been much improv-
ed recently. The interior could
scarcely be recognized as the former
room of years ago. We were glad to
see the improvements. Another en-
tertainment may be held in the near
future.
