Last Thursday evening about two
hundred children and patrons attend
ed the Thanksgiving program Of III,
Upper Banner Fork School. Their
glad smiles and unwavering attention
were sufficient assurance Of the real
pleasure that the occasion afforded
The teachers. Mr.. and Mrs. Delber.
Cook, were made very happy by the
many congratulations received from
the visitors after the program was
finished.
Practically every member of the
school was included on the program.
The program was planned with the
idea of giving every pupil chance
to show his literary ability. The
idea Of entertainment was not en-
tlrely forgotten, however. the prin-
cipal purpose Of the program was to
instruct the children. and TO inspire
the patrons to a higher degree Of
educational activity.
The program consisted Of forty
distinct parts. and lasted for two
hours. Special music was rendered
by our very capable guitarist, Rev.
frItts. The program ended with the
story Of the pilgrims, which helped
to remind us Of the many blessings
for which We should be thankful.
