Friday afternoon. Al the students of
the school gathered in this room, each
recited piece of poetry or told Xmas
story, then all Joined in singing some
Xmas carols, after which refreshments
we've served We wish to thank all
who helped to make this room so at
tractive. We also wish to thank Miss
Rankeillor who planted and cared for
several pots of narcissus, ferns and a
variety of other kinds of flowers. Of
course she has faithfully attended to
the flowers so they would be in bloom
at Xmas and they were in bloom just in
time. We all feel sure that without
her help and suggestions our room
would not be half as attractive looking
as it is.
