The members of the P. T. A. have
selected a committee of eight to
have the school ground prepared for
grass and shrubbery. The members
of the committee are Rev. Handy,
Mr.. Chism, Mr. Prettyman, Mr.. s
Hayes and the four teachers. This 1
work is being supervised by Mr..
Handy. The ground has been plowed
and narrowed, all the low places fill
led in and raked. Then it was lined
and raked again, the grass seed was
sown and the ground rolled. Shrub
berry was planted around the school 9
house and by the walks. The ap- '
pearance of the school grounds has
been improved very much. The gem
eral supervision of the work has
been under the direction of Rev. @
