SOME d. A. II. SCHOOL NOTES.
Girls Cheerful and Happy as tho De-
cembor Days Arc beautiful.

OAR. School, Tamassee, Dec 9.
Special: Although the December
days arc here, the beautiful sunshine
continues to fall on Tamassee. This
Is true In two ways, for even when
the rain pours down outside, and
! the cold wind would sting the nosp
and ears, we are still happy In our
home. II you could look In on us
now you would see each girl with d
| smile, while the teachers tell few
ll'tle secrets-as 1t seems to them
But why shouldn't few strange
things be happening, for Christmas
is just around the corner?
During the past three months
there have been many duties attend
ed to, not to mention now the pleas
ures. The girls, under the direction
or Miss Hine, got up a splendid ex.
hibi. for the D.A.R Conference neld
in Charleston in November. Although
most Of these girls did not know
the first principles Of sewing, still,
with the patience Of Miss Hine, their
iirst stitches were so improved as to
be placed into the making Of work
boxes, handkerchicfs, embroidered
aprons, little bonnets and organdic
flowers, which were made by them.
as we'll as hot iron holders. Now the
girls are taking orders for any CT
these things that have been men
toned above.
Just as these things were finished,
put into the boxes and started on
their way TO Charleston, Thanksgiv-
ing walked in. The students were
given two days holiday-Thursday
and FRIDAY. During these HOLIDAYS
Miss jeanette Moore visited some Of
her schoolmates at Due West Wo-
mans College. Miss Moore was a
student at Due West last year, so
her visit back was a most pleasant
one.
Miss Pearle Edwards returned TO
her home in Seneca to spend Thanks
giving holidays.
However, these absences. did not
leave things lonely at Tamassee The
weather was ideal for the picnic on
Tamassee Knob.
Miss Ellen Morgan's brothers, Lu-
thor, VIII and Louis Morgan, enjoyed
the picnic with the school, as we'll
as some from the community.
We are now enjoying the sausage
and other meats which we got from
our hog last week. Sam Cowan gave
this hog when only pig last year.
You should have seen the sausage
as 1t was being ground and packed
away. And the lard! Why the bread
has already begun to taste better.
We. as teachers and pupils. want
to thank Mr.. Cowan again for our
meat.
Since we last wrote to Tho Courier
we have new care-taker John
Sheppard. Mr.. and Mrs. Sheppard
have not wasted any time since NOV
ing into the little cottage, for great
improvements have been noticed.
Last but not least Of our news
comes as we think Of the little stream
just below Mr.. Sheppard's house,
running over the pebbles, bubb!ipg
as 1T goes on and on. This last clause
is true no longer, for under the su-
pervision Of Miss Hine and directions
from Mr.. Sheppard, little ram Is
down there pumping away. The pipes
have been joined and placed to the
house. and as we look out OF the
window we see little stream Of wa
ter running from this pipe on the
campus. As soon as the lumber is |
sawed for the stand for our tank we !
will have a plumber to put the water
In our home
We want to mention our song
service on Wednesday nights. We
have been having good crowds. Las: |
Wednesday night there we're one
hundred in the building. We are so
glad to see the mothers and fathers |
coming to singing and Sunday school,, |
for these are not for any certain age,
but for all-young and old.
