Interesting Exercises.


day at the Girls High School at
1850. These exercises vary with
The occasion. Recently, the assem-
bly, period was made very pleasing
bv the girls of the seventh grade,
and on the next day by the mem
bers of the Junior Red Cross. Both
Of these exercises taught beautiui
lessons: the first emphasizing the
beauty of some o: .life's fundamen-
raj virtues, and the second the truth
OF the expression that it is more
blessed TO give than TO receive. IN
stead of having q Valentine box
in their several rooms 10 receive
valentines, the girls preferred TO
give to others, and the unanimous
verdict Of all the participants was
that they derived iac more pleas
ure from giving to others. The
stage was beautifully and appro-
priately decorated; the most suS-
gestive feature being a very large
Valentine box covered with the
/ symbol Of ST. Valentines day en-
! closing the sign OF the Red Cross.
The combination suggested the
cross OF service in the heart OF love.
