We were also responsible for the beautiful Christmas trimmings at the schoolhouse during that time. 1 1 1 1 1 1. 1 . 1 11 1 1 , , , 1 1 1 11 1 ' 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 I ' 1 11 1 1 1 . 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 11 .1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ' 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 , . 1 1 1 - 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 . 1 1 I 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 D I I I 1 1 1 1 1 Y 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 . 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 - 11 11 1 1 ' ' ll 11 1 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ' 1 1 1 11 1 1 1111 1 1 1 1 - 111 1 1 .111 1 1 ' 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 s .
