On Friday evening one Of the larg-
est turnouts that Lincoln school has
witnessed for many moons crowded
the available standing and sitting
room until several were compelled to
remain outside. Mrs. Gray and Miss
Burt furnished most of the splendid
program with recitations, dialogues,
plays, ETC., by their scholars The
Literary Society was about as usual
in their generous response by furnish
ing two or three numbers, and we
wish to state there is a large chance
left for Improvement here Mrs. Gray
spent much time and patient toll ar
ranging decorations for this occa-
sion and her work was a splendid tri-
butte to her success. The tree was
furnished by Ed Modin >and was a
beautiful sight with its decorations of
many hue. Mrs Nina Johnson fur
nished many of the decorations for
the tree and room and her ideas IN
arranging them showed splendid tai
ent along decorative lines. Miss Maud
Burt and Mrs. Gray spent consider
able time after school helping de-
corate in spite of their grilling re-
hearsals and school duties. All ere
dit is due them for their splendid eff
forts in making this event such a
success. But we will not fail to men
ton the many who so willingly vol
unteered to help and did their best.
Thank you all for opening up your
hearts, for just once at least. May
we live to see many more such events
in the year to come.
Many reports have not as yet come
in telling where most of you spent
your Christmas, but we will event
ually hear and then will be the larg-
est edition we have yet put out of
news items. We hope you all had
plenty of goodies and that Old Saint
Nick remembered you all, that you es
capped any stomach trouble, that you
are ready to write out all your re
solutions and break them about ten
days later
