After the program the tree
was stripped, and then refresh
ments were served of cake, ap-
pies and popcorn, with coffee and
cocoa. Lively games followed
until eleven, when it was evident
the Sandman was calling the
children, so the party broke up
with united congratulations in its
success and an exchange of holi-
day good wishes.
Miss Valli Bigby came over
from Tacoma Friday to visit her
sister, the popular young in
structor at No. "a, and assist in
the evenings program. Her con
was great addition to
the program and delighted her
audience, to whose enthusiastic
she responded with a
charming encore. Miss Bigby
has sweet soprano voice, well
trained and at the same time of
that youthful freshness which is
so winning. She is a student at
Pullman, but fortunately her va
cation began in the middle of the
week.
