A Halloween program was held at
our school on Tuesday evening, 0cto-
Der 3Ist. An interesting program con-
sisting of talk by Superintendent
Sanford, contests by the young peo-
pie, and refreshments for all was
planned and carried out. There was
a good attendance of parents and
young people, and all enjoyed the pro-

together. Everything went off nicely.
We may organize community club

On Friday evening, October goth,
a social was held in our school. Supt.
Sanford and Prin. Hill were present,
and each gave good talks on COM

talks interested those present so that
one week later meeting was called,
and community club organized with
a membership Of thirty-five. We now
nave an active organization working

Teacher:
Prin. Hill was present and gave a
very interesting and helpful talk at a
program at our school Friday evening,
October 9th. Those who were in

manned outside and behaved in a man.

Editors Note-We would suggest
that in the future boys in this or any
other district,w who cannot go to meet

A mothers meeting was organized re-

School is progressing nicely and
enjoy working, especially on these
beautiful fall days that we are having
