paid by the enthusiasm of the audi
ence over their exercises and pranks.

Closing Song
An original song written by Mrs,
Chester L. Elliott, to the tune of Tip
peraryn was sung by Edie Arnold,
and was we'll received. a bouquet
was presented to her, and not 10 be
outdone, little Waiter Bartlett stole
the teachers bouquet to give to his
sister, Graee Handy. The \ Is { class
was most original and no one in the
class worked any harder than Gusse
Boynton when he put the alphabet on
the board. The varieties of the capt.
tails would have driven n sign painter
to suicide, while his composition on
"Fiies9 was inexpressibly funny.
"Dwighiien sharpe got ali mixed up
in his composition on "Boys,n and the
paper on which il was written would
have made good "tangleiooto
1t took Arson Handy quite long
time to tell what he would do when he
was man-fortunately the audience
was spared the time waiting-and his
recitation "Bittle Willie brought
much laughter
As Napoleon Como had the "appen
dick his compositions were read by
the star girl of the school, Harry-et
Sharpe, who in spite of "hero broken
French was able TO make "herself"
understood to the extent OF causing
sore ribs from laughter.
Grace Handy's "Fly song" was
splendidly rendered though the little
girl was quite nervous.
1t would be impossible to tell what
the words To "Bertn Stones first song
was If one did not know the first and
last line and the tune, but his second
song was well rendered and was much
appreciated by the audience.
The recitations by the Wheelock boy
and the Andem and Warren girls are
deserving of mention.
Music was furnished by BellePenny,
who has recently moved into our
town. Outside OF little nervousness
in the first number her playing was
very good-in fact, too good for the
school, which did not sing by it, but at
it.
The teacher, Miss Kent, ably filled
her responsible position, and 1t will
not be her fault If these scholars do not
grow up into useful and intelligent
citizens. Remarks were made by the
school visitors.
The committee, A. s. Boynton, A..
B. Handy, Miss Edith Kent, Mrs. e.
ID. Arnold, and Miss Anna q. Levitt,
are 10 be congratulated in presenting,
with only TWO rehearsals, such a pleas
ing program. Mrs. Walter Rich, the
treasurer of the Parent-Teachers Asso-
citation reports net proceeds OF about
$50.
