school closed with a most enjoyable pie.
nio at Contentment Island, Mrs. A. D.
Ward having, with her preverbialgcu-
oroeity, placed that picturesque spot at
the disposal of the school. All the
scholars were themso were their pa-
' rents, their sisters, their cousins and
their aunts. "Farmer Dunn" gave
them a bright day. and there was noth-
ing lacking to make it one of enjoy-
ment long to be remembered by all who
participated in the festivities. ,
No sooner had they reached the island
than the boys made a rush for the beach
and in a few minutes were diaper-ting
in the briny waters like so many bull-
frogs. The girls, too, had their swim
afterwards, at the same spot.
. When dinner time came all hands, in-
cluding the babies, owing to the exer-
cise, excitement and exhilarating air,
were in prime condition to do justice to
the good things provided for the occu-
siou. The appetites displayed in dis-
posing of them were fitting compli-
ments to the concoctions of the numer-
ous and varied delicacies. There was
plenty and to spare.
The afternoon was spent in playing
games , boating, fishing, clamming,
swimming, swinging, and in other en-
joyments incidental to light-hearted
youth. The old folks of the party seem-
ed to enter into the enjoyment of the
occasion as fully as the younger ones.
Among them may be mentioned Mrs. E.
J. Hoyt and Mrs. M. Richards. The
only drawback to the happy day was
that evening came too soon.
(.111 the way home the procession met
Mrs. “lard, who had unhvoidably been
detained iINhe city all dav. With one
accord thc youngsters gave her a rous-
ing cheer in recognition of her kindness
and good-will. ller eyes fairly sparkled
with pleasure at being able to give so
much happiness to others.
Toll. Sitts, Sohool 'committeman for
the past and coming season, much
praise is due for the fatherly interest he
took in the affair. Nothing was too
much trouble for him. He just smiled
and did all he could to make others
happy. William Tristram put the in-
terest- hc feels for the welfare of the
school info Work and did his share with
a will.
The tables were presided over by Mrs.
J. VonGal and other ladies. ‘Mr. Schook
merits the thanks of all concerned for
hisu'ltirinrr energy in acting as chief
boulman.
Miss Cassia Ill St ..l11l1u who has had
