General Notes

It is our wish to take this means of thanking all who so generously helped in more than one way to make our Fall Festival such a splendid success. We were happy to hear that everybody really had a good time.

More than one school pupil chuckled to himself upon receiving his envelope of pictures. The photos were snapped by a photographer some time ago.

The annual Christmas Seal Sale will again be conducted through the school. The purchase of these seals truthfully helps a worthy cause. The conquest of diseases is greatly and materially aided thru drives of this type. So when you are approached by a seal worker, lend a helping hand to make this year more successful in this respect.

Thursday and Friday of this week are Thanksgiving vacation days for all of our school pupils.
