THE ACORN ARBOR DAY EXERCISES. On March 7, 1907, the school celebrated Burband Day in unique fashion. At eleven o’clock the entire student body assembled in the auditorium and listened to several addresses on the value of a public playground, and facilties for outdoor sport. The Glee Club rendered a splendid program, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. Altogether, the event will not be soon forgotten by those who participated in it, and it gave the playground idea a good boost forward. OAKLANDS BEST Chas.H.
