Northwood district district clos
ed last week, the final event be-
ing a picnic at the school grounds
On account of the rain, the din
ner was served in the school,
house instead of the grove as
was planned. The afternoon was
spent In exercises by the children
and u general good time In which
parents and children took part.
A generous supply of ice-cream
was the closing attraction.
Only two in the entire school,
Mildred Harvey and Christine
GAIA, have had a perfect record
OF attendance for the entire year.
David COllaft was present every
day and had only one tardy mark
and that was when he had spent
the weekend out of town and
did not return until after school
opened Monday morning. Several
others attended all through the
severe winter weather, but were
prevented by illness during the
last few weeks from keeping
their record of attendance per-
feet for the year.

1t is regretted that so few
of the parents have visited the
school. Only twelve have done
so when the regular school work
was being done. Others have at
tended programs given by the
school but much more could be
accomplished If the parents
would take greater interest in
the everyday workings of the
school.
A prize Of a silk flag was Of
fered by Mrs. Richards to the
one in each Of her grades that
had the largest number of 100
per cent spelling lessons for the

was tie between Elsie Knittle
and Lilah Brown, SO each was
given prize. The flags for the
