Unique invitations reading as follow
ing were issued to the members of
Mrs. Charles Shewmake's Sunday
School class of the Central Methodist
Church;
Come with us to give good cheer.
And bring with you your smiles
my dear"
The invitations were written on a
yellow pumpkin face with a broad
smile. The members of the class met
at the home of Mrs. Shewmake on
Thursday evening where a pleasant
time was spent.
The feature of the evening entertain
ment was shown in the invitations
and was decidedly filled with smiles.
Halloween suggestions formed the
decorations, many yellow faces of
cardboard and yellow crepe paper with
broad smiles adorned the rooms. with
many black cats, witches. etc.
The evening was opened with bus
mess session led by Mrs. ]. T. Mathis,
president of the class calling first
for roll call which was given by Miss
Thelma Temple secretary and treas
urer. Election of officers for the new

Hazel Jolly president; Miss Thelma
Temple, reelected Sec. and Treas. 1t
was suggested by the class teacher.
Mrs. Shewmake that the class take
charge of the music of the Sunday
School which they decided to do.
They also decided 10 have class
meeting every three months
After the business session several
contests were enthusiastically entered
into. Four tables were arranged with
puzzle, black witches cut into var
ious pieces which were TO be pasted
together. There was a prize given
for each table as they finished. The
first table to get their witch put to-
gether was awarded prize of "Bap''
big apple pie. the second to get thu
was awarded a MAP" medium apple
pie, the third table. Sap" small APP
pie pie and the fourth or last NAP
no apple pie. This created lots OF
fun. The next contest was the form
ing OF rhyme using the letters that
spell the word smile for the beginning
of each line. They were afterwards
read by Miss Ethelyn Russell.
The entire party then joined in the
singing of Smiles" accompanied by
Miss Hazel Jolly on the piano. "Till
We Meet Again" was also sung.
At a late hour delicious sandwiches
with salad and coffee with whipped
cream were served by Mrs. Shewmake

"All I am or ever hope to be | owe

But are they going TO say it of us?

to expect you.

in number work.
In the First Grade the record for
good attendance has surpassed all
other years. Less illness is reported
and especially encouraging is the
evidence of more concern on the part
of parents for a perfect record.
Our room is taking advantage of
these Halloween days which furnish
such rich material for construction
work and drawing; no primary room
would be complete without the black
and orange decorations.
The cloudy skies and rain of the
past week has aroused new interest
in our calendar weather chart. In
