School has closed but certainly
we have so may pleasant memo

Thursday ended our last as
sernbly program for. the year, it
was longer than usual but it was
very, very interesting. The first
part of the program was dedicat-
ed to our sixth graders who will
be leaving for high schools. Mr..
Matthews certainly delivered a
most fitting and timely address
for the graduates. Parents, friends
and teachers complimented him
for a fine job. During our asemb-
ly program many pupils were
given awards for perfect attend
ance; scholastic achievements and
many other outstanding awards.
Edward Carter was given beau
tiful bicycle by our PTA. This
was given to Edward for his out
standing abilities and duties
performed as a boy scout.

operetta only it was a little bet
ter than the sixth graders be-
cause instead of singing, dane

form of food, entertaining the
Principal and teachers.
May / voice the sentiment of
the principal and teachers to say
thanks, thanks, thanks, we GER
tainly appreciated everything and
also appreciate your cooperation
for the entire year.
Our last and another exciting
affair was on Friday when we
entertained ourselves with
luncheon and the exchanging of
birthday gifts and heart sisters
and heart brothers gifts. So many
lovely gifts were given I thought
it was Christmas in June especi-
ally when our Principal Mr.. Cog

NEW YORK - To the folks
in showbusiness nothing could
be more closely watched than
the proposed merger of Gale

ing agencies are going at 1t
very seriously so that it's more
than likely to come off. Gale

talent in Sarah Vaughn, Teen

use it, remains to be seen. But
it will be in a powerful posi-
ton to do some debating to
those that hire.

where Louis crowd of 1885
surpassed all the greats as

jazz artists.
