Lincoln School Report
I think every reader of the Milford
Chronicle who resides in Lincoln
School District, No. and many others
will be interested in reading a brief
report of school activities during the
year.
School opened on September 9Th,
1922. Practically every pupil was
present to enroll with the former
years corps Of teachers: Miss Iris 1.
ireland, who later became Mrs. Swain,
primary department; Miss Heath, in
termediate department, and G. E. Will
kins, who though married two weeks
later, didn't change his name, the
grammar school department.
The Lincoln Home and School AS
sociation continued it's work with
membership of ninety-one. Five regu-
lar meetings were held and enjoyed.
The members alternated with the
school in preparing and rendering a
program. This was a very helpful
phase of the association in relieving
the school of the burden of preparing
a program for each meeting. Supt. w.
H. Jump, was present at our last meet
ing, which was in April. He gave a
very interesting address.
1t was decided, at our last meeting,
to have a social in order to raise
sum of money sufficient to get the
children to Georgetown for Field Day
and to pay for the badges they wore,
also to pay our dues as a member of
the Delaware I. A. A. The social was
held and such a response and coop
Grafton prevailed that the social was
very successful.
There were only six badges won
two silver and four bronze.
After paying all the Field Day
events there was 1882 still in hand.
$12.20 was spent for ice cream for the
last day refreshments leaving SLAP in
the treasury. A good start for next
year.
There was indeed crowd present
to enjoy the closing day exercises. The
seemed to be enjoyed by
all. Many thanks to those who brought
cakes to help make the occasion more
festive.
We now have a library of SO books.
