miss anything, but still not knowing
Just what was coming. Suddenly
the lights were dimmed, leaving the
hall in darkness. with the exception
Of an electric light 1920" that stood
shining from the rear of the stage.
The dance went on. The orchestra
was playing "Whispering." And then
the music stopped. The dancers
stopped. They faced the stage en-
masse. Somewhere behind the scenes
a bell rang IL times and the electric
sign changed to 1921. Then the fun
began. Confetti filled the air, filled
the hair and crept down necks. The
streamers shot through the clouds of
confetti and many of them found
lodging ON the cross-lines which held
up the balloons.
And Miss Wood danced the old year
out and the new year in with a wonder

moods of gayness and final sadness

After the new year had been proper
~ ushered in with elaeking of clack-
ers and swapping of crickets, there
was dancing for another hour. The
hat WAS PASSED around and the funds
were raised to keep the orchestra busy
longer so that dancing was enjoyed
until past o'clock.
1t WAS after the midnight dance that
the decorations began to suffer- A few
of the balloons had burst during the
evening, swelled with their own i'm
portaEcc, of being able to aid in such
a grand function. But the remainder
of them were put to an end by the
reaching hands Of the dancers. And
someone with kindly thoughts let
down from the chandeliers the huge
lunches of balloons that had been UP
to that time out Of reach. 1t sounded
very much like a miniature attack as
the bursting of the toys was heard
all about. With the balloons bursting
and the streamers and the confetti
ankle deep, that sight was a hilarious
one. Safe to say that the old City
hall never before witnessed such a
gay. happy crowd.

smiles, laughter, bright lights. hearts

The question of what shall be done
with the Sa grade in the Pleasant
street school when the pupils in that
grade shall be ready to go to high
school at the end of January was a
perplezing question discussed by the
board of education at the meeting
Friday evening. Should the mid-year
promotions be carried into the high
school this year as conditions are
now it would mean double sessions in
the high school for the freshman
class. On the other hand the emily
thing to do is to give a continuation
course to the Sa grade in the Pleasant
street school as was done last year
The heed of more room for the pupils
of the city is acutely felt and the
board of education finds itself up
against hard proposition to place the
pupils where they should be. 1t was
decided by the board that continue
ton work should be done the same as
last year. Miss Edna Emery of Shaw

second grade of the Brook street
school to take the nlaee of Miss Nellie
