SCHOOL ESCAPES SERIOUS
DAMAGE


from school.
However, the storm blew over a
tree in front of the school. After
the storm was over we looked upon the
school grounds and discovered that
it was Uttered with debris from
neighboring trees. Throughout the
town trees were uprooted, limbs brok-
en- off, and sand blown over every
thing, but we are glad to state that
no serious damage was done to our
school property.

His memory will be with US always,
Because of him, we were so fond.
We shared with him his SORROWS;

In that golden place of rest.

lived, but we feel that it was we'll
