Two years ago Sister Irene was asked

Each Of the aspirants insisted that the OBJ

years to run. Each promised to give her
admirer DER answer at that time.
Now, after two years Sister Constance

THANK SEWING

Mallory school and community
spent Thanksgiving at Mallory school
where an all-day program was given.
At noon a bountiful dinner was en-
joyed by all. Pumpkin pies, cakes,
chicken, sweet potatoes and many
other good things were eaten. Crack
er jacks and ginger bread boys were
served; everybody had all they could
eat and some was taken back home
in baskets.
People came from Webb school and
helped in the community meeting.
NJ IS Myrtle Webb rendered beauti-
full song about Thanksgiving, also re-
cited a fitting piece.
Mr.. Moore's family, who have just
moved to Mallory, took a good part
in the days program.
Mrs. Slusher also brought a large
basket of good things to eat. Many
Others brought things which | have
not time TO mention here.
The day was rainy but all seemed
to be thankful and expressed their
thoughts by giving thankful quota
tons. Pictures of pilgrims houses,
made and tackled on the wall,
by the children, showed thoughts of
the day.
We are looking forward to another
day that can be enjoyed like this one.
