The School paper, The Live Wire,
made it's first appearance Friday
morning and is a credit to the edl-
torial staff, as we'll as a credit to
the printer. 1t is evident that is is
backed by interchangeable energy, a
living dynamo which we trust will
connect with latent wires and make
them vibrate with responsibility,
and that responsibility is that there
is Live Wire In Our Midst and that
we are to encourage and help sup
port it.

The closing of the Town Central
School was observed by Christmas
Exercises which were enjoyed by the
children and visitors. The School
appreciates the gift of Miss Martha
Atkinson of four large pictures
Washington, Grant, Roosevelt and
deaths of Wolf and Montcalm. These
pictures have a double mission, they
inspire the pupils to emulate the
lives of these great men of three
great nations, and at the same time
are perpetual reminder that some
one who loves her home town is
deeply interested in it's welfare.
These pictures are given in memory
of Miss Atkinson's brother, Edmund
B Atkinson.
