GRANIMAR Room, qconap The forst party was held on Halloween. . The last period was spent in playing various games and telling ghost stories, after which the group was treated by the teacher. During the first part of December the pupils were busy learning their various parts for the Christrnas program which was given together with the primary room. For a week, all were busy learning their parts and practicing. In connection with this, they were busy selling their tickets for a big turkey raffle. Two other prizes were given but the turkey was first. Since everyone cooperated so well, a nice sum of money was made with which things will be purchased for the school. The proceeds were divided equally between the two rooms. Work was resumed as usual after the program. A party was held a few days before Christmas. There were a Christznas tree, an exchange of gifts, and a treat for all. All then enjoyed a weeks vacation and returned with renewed energy. The girls made a Valentine box and a Valentine party was held. Every- one received many beautiful valentines. The eighth grade students are looking forward to the county examinations which will be held toward the end of the school term. Since they have only one chance this year, the majority are working hard to pass them successfully.

PRINIARY Room. fCont.J petition began! Those cute little admiring side glances toward jean and the little scowls toward one another were most amusing. In the fall we enjoyed a Wiener roast and also a nature study frip to the Al Book farm to see Tery's pet raccoon. The coon did his best to entertain the group and if Terry had been able to find where his mother kept the supply of raisins the entertainment might have continued for quite some time. Our school program and box social took place in December. The young people and patrons ofthe district did much to help toward making this a success From our share of the proceeds we bought an electric wall clock, two pretty pictures, a medicine cabinet, and a metal washstand. The winners on that evening 's drawing were: MCardle family for the turkey, Carnell family for the duck, and the Michaels family for the fruit cake. Our contests in spelling and reading have been inspirational and we feel that our endeavor has been well worth while. A number of our music students are to take part in the Music Festival at Wakefield, on March 28. We like to sing, tell little jokes, give current events, and listen to inter? Qlfm stories during Opening Exercises. Our motto is: Have a purpose in life, and having it, throw such strength of mild and muscle into your work as God has given you.
