Christmas Tree in Maynard Hollow.

School in Maynard Hollow closed
Dee. % with Christmas tree and ex-
crciscs. The teacher, Miss Lucella Tay-
lor, went to her home in Weston for a
vacation until Jan. 3. This school had
no Thanksgiving vacation and although
the school is small in numbers, there be-
ing but eight pupils, it is perhaps the
banner school in town, both i'll attend
ancc and zeal of the pupils, as it used
to be the banner school 20 years ago.
Charles, Frederick and Leonard White
were not absent during the 10 weeks.
Mable and James Bacon and Walter
Williams were absent one day, Jesse
Bacon two DAYS, while Stella Bacon was
absent week on account of illness.
The directors are to be congratulated
upon their choice of a teacher this year.
The Christmas program Friday was ex-
ceptionally well carried out. There was
music furnished by Henry Williams g
photograph, recitations and readings by
the parents and pupils and little play,
Christmas Eve, was presented by the
pupils. While all did their parts well
for the first performance, special praise
perhaps might be given to Mable Bacon
who enacted the part of the mother, and
Frederick White, who took the part of
Santa Claus. At the close of the pro-
gram Santa Claus appeared with a lit
tie speech and recitation and dstribut-
ed the presents from the well-flled tree
while Miss Taylor passed popcorn and
candy to the pupils and guests.
