-4 THE 1940 TROJAN TORCH NEWS Following a period of doubt, Torch opened its doors September 5 to the required number of pupils and has run along with a good attendance ever since. The interest of the community has been keen and their cooperation very fine. At an early Parent Teachers' Community Club Meeting it was voted to start a school grounds' beautification program. To this end—and with much labor on the part of several of the patrons—five trees and a number of shrubs and bulbs have been set out. Our caretaker, Mr. Barrows, has been most faithful in keeping us warm, shoveling paths, and being generally helpful. At Thanksgiving, the school gave a little play entitled, In Old Colony Days,” together with music and drills. At Christmas, we furnished part of the P. T. C. C. program offering some carols and a short play, “The Shepherds' Story.” In January we had the privilege of listening to an interesting talk by Miss Clara Seiler, Kohlapur, India missionary and seeing a collection of brasses and saris. From the sale of magazines and seeds a little fund was provided to furnish a warm dish or drink two days a week during the cold weather as a supplement to the children’s lunch. 4 33- page TWENTY-ONE
