Houston School News
It is remarkable how rapidly our
Thrift Club is progressing. This
week our school saved $500, max
ing a total of $128.19 saved since
December IL. Every child in the
school is a member of the club and
nearly everyone saves each week. AS
a result of this, we have been pre-
sented with two new library books
from the Educational Thrift Service
of New York. This week Mr.. Brit
tingham's, Miss Slaughter's and Miss
Vinyard's rooms had 100 per cent
savings and Miss Wharton's 9z.5 per
cent. Louise Voshell, a student IN
the eighth grade, saved $3.06 which
was the largest deposit made by any
pupil.
We won the banner during Janu-
arv for good attendance with total
of 94.48 per cent for the entire
school. This makes the fourth sue
cessive month that we have had 1t.
We are proud of the fact that we
have been able to keep it for such a
long period of time. This shows a
splendid spirit on the part OF the
parents, for, without their co-opera-
ton, we would not have been able
to have attained such success.
The Defamation Contest is to be
given about the first of April which
will consist of eighteen declama-
tions. Miss Vinyard's pupils are par
ticipating in the contest this year
for the first time. The selections
have all been carefully chosen.
Much time and practice is spent in
preparing for this contest and this
affair promises to be the most inter-
esting of it's kind, that has ever been
given. A definite date will be set
later.
Although a definite period of time
has not been decided upon for Glee
Club rehearsal it is hoped that a
place in the program can be decld-
ed upon soon in order that the club
may be able to furnish music for
the Defamation Contest.
In celebration of Lincoln's birth
day, Miss Vinyard's grades presented
program of entertainment before
the other grades on Tuesday between
and p. m.
Cocoa is being served each day to
all pupils who bring the necessary
ingredients towards making it. This
means a great amount of extra work
for Miss Wharton who is taking
chardge of it, yet it greatly benefits
the pupils who remain at school for
their lunch. Will the parents please
send any extra milk that they might
have, to school, as it can be used in
making cocoa?
Next Wednesday afternoon, Febru-
ary 20, completes the Reading Cir
Gle" meetings for this term. The tea
chers have extended invitations to
DR.. H. B. King, Miss Leila A.
Thomas, Miss Helen Comstock and
NJ. L. Hydorn to be. present to de-
liver addresses on the work which
has been covered. The social part of
the meeting will be in charge of the
teachers of the Houston school.
