School News

Christmas vacation starts today and will last until the second of January. Many and varied plans are being made by the students as to how their vacation will be spent.
 A school party was held We'd nesday evening, where gifts were exchanged by the pupils and games and refreshments were en- joyed.
 The North Star" Christmas edition, was issued today. First and Second Grades
 Christmas is indeed the "happi- est time of all the year." in the primary room. It would be hard to tell what we have enjoyed most, the Christmas stories or pictures or songs, the making of the gifts for loved ones, the Christ mas decorations, or the party plans. Perhaps not so much en- joyed is the practicing for the Christmas pageant, but we hope that it will give enough pleasure to make at worth the doing. We have learned a great deal in the giving of it. We are ready for the Christmas vacation, but we will be glad when it is over and we can meet at school again. Third and Fourth Grades
 The third and fourth grades en- joy the clever story-book illustra- tions in the library, and are glad that Mrs. Cameron suggested the idea to the high school art class.
 Before their Christmas party Thursday morning, the children visited the other grade rooms to see the various Christmas trees and room decorations.
 Everyone had a happy time at the party. Games were played, Christmas carols were sung and Christmas stories read. Candy, brought by Mary Joan, salad by Geraldine, and popcorn balls made by Tess and her mother, were given to each child. The packages about the Christmas tree were distributed and each child received a gift and a large red apple.
 All have worked hard to make the Christmas program a success, and through it they wish every one a very happy Christmas. Fifth Grade
 We are very busy practicing for the Community program to be given tonight.
 Our room has window decora- tions.
 A colored chalk Santa and a deep blue sky are on one front board panel. The other panel has a beautiful outdoor scene with a red church, trees, snow hills and a beautiful river.
 We also have many Christmas drawings on the walls.
 Our beautiful tree is decorated in tinsel and small bulbs and cleo tric lights.
