The kindergarten children were
guests at a party given Monday morn
ing at school by Doctor Rose Stern
for her son Francis. The party was
given in honor of Francis birthday
All the children had a delightful
time. A huge birthday cake was
served to the thirty children present

Third Grade gave a peanut shower in
honor of their teacher, Miss Skeletons
Miss Skeletons is indeed fortunate
Senior High pupils only wish that
peanut showers were in vogue in
High School.
Peanut showers are wonderful
things. One who has participated in
a peanut shower has the advantage
over those who have not. Let us
hope and pray that these modern
children of today don't feel inspired
to give cocoanut showers.

Honor System is working out very
well. The children look forward t.
electing their captain. He is al
