O&O
The Primary Department of our
school is very much in need OF IL
brary. Some time ago a plea for
children's story books appeared IN
the school news. A request was
made of the big boys and girls and
their mothers to donate such books
as the children of the respective
families have outgrown.
One mother has responded nobly.
Mrs. Donnan Holzmueller has given
in the name of her son, Donnan,
four lovely new books. Among these
is one of a set entitled, Little Peo-
Die Everywhere" If the friends in
terested in our school-and OF
course everybody is-have any olo
books to give us, we would greatly
appreciate the gift of one in this
special set.
The children of Grade III have
determined that our library shall
grow in numbers. Therefore, the
following pupils have given books
from their own book shelves at
home: Jean Grier, Jack Cannon, I'M
Iy Abbott, Paul Belts, Viola Mere
dith, Priscilla Jester, John Argo and
William Holston.
On Friday of last week the pupils
of Miss Carter's section of the fourth

the whooping cough. The children
also sent flowers after school.
