Orleans School Notes.


The commencement week received
a good start with the sermon by Rev.
Hutchinson at the Opera Hall Sunday
ent to receive the practical address
he gave. The Junior class had the
hall decorated with ferns and lilacs.
Music was furnished by the school
choruses and Messrs. Potter and
! Domino. The seniors were ushered
in by the junior marshal, Harold Gal
| lup, in an impressive manner to the
strains of the professional march.
All are looking forward to the COM
mencement address by Rev. A. w.
Hewitt on Thursday evening. The
music will be furnished by the junior
and the senior choruses.
After the brief scool session at 9
o'clock Friday morning the high
school pupils will start for Willough-
by lake where they plan to spend a
i, day hiking, eating and playing
games. This trip has come to be an
annual event with the pupils.
The committee in charge of the
Alumni banquet has made arrange
ments to hold it at the Valley House.
This event closes the regular work
of initiating the senior class into
their places among the alumni of the
school.
The villagers are asked to remem-
Der the baseball game between our
nine and those from Derby scheduled
to play on Saturday of this week at
the Skinner athletic field. The sup
port of the local people is greatly ap-
preciated since large audiences are
help to the players and incidentally
their 25 cents for admission help out
the finances of the team.
At the request of the state depart
ment of education the schools pre-
pared some posters to send to the Ma
tional Education Associations exhib-
it at Boston during the first week in
July. They show the different fields
of activity in the school. Pictures
are used to make more vivid the work
where it was possible to do so. A
study was made of attendance, marks,
salaries, growth, tuition pupils, tests,
etc., and many of these were graph
ed to aid in their Interpretation. The
charts may again be used at the Yer
mont Teachers convention at St.
Johnsbury next fall.
The response of the Orleans peo-
pie was gratifying as the pupil cap
tains collected the envelopes distrib-
uted for "Nickel day." A statement
of the amount collected will be made
later. Those failing to receive an
envelope or are missed in any way
may still get their bit into the funds
by sending it to the school or to one
of the local committee who are Mrs.
| Webster, Mrs. Demick and Mr.. Jen-
kins.
The grades are making good and
valuable use of the new workbench
and tools that have been put in re-
Gently by the manual training boys
The new volley balls are being
much enjoyed by the pupils of the
grades. Gan outsider has it rumored
that even the teachers enjoy them.)
/ Examinations seem to be the order
everywhere about the building.
Rhythmic games to photograph
records are being introduced into the
grades. Monday demonstration of
the various records was given before
the teachers with a group of selected
pupils. Te pupils are enthusiastic
about the various interpretations and
do themselves justice as novices.
Baseball again made manifest it's
delightful uncertainty last Friday at
Lyndonville, when Lyndon Institute
obtained as many hits and runs off
from Gallup's delivery in the first
inning with one man out as they were
able to secure in full game against
the same twirler some ten days pre-
vious. After the first frame Gallup
pitched fine ball being especially eff
fective in the pinches.
Hall and Bean drove out terrific
home runs on their first trips to the
hot h11f both fai1od 70 hit CSfo1x,
thereafter. The most consistent bat
ting was turned in by Dwyer, Rob-
erts, Billiard and Dudley. Careless
baserunning by Twombly, Dudley and
Barry was costly for the Red and
White. Fielding gems by Hall and
HI. Springer featured.
