THANK YOU
MAGAZINES
By Mary Fletcher
Some nice gifts have been
received by the Harper School |
this year for which we have
failed to express our thanks.
Two thousand book covers
were furnished by the Walravin
Company. Mr. Carl Oehler,
local merchant, paid for these as
advertising and presented them
to the school. Mr. Kraus of
the Coca Cola Bottling Com-
pany at Fredericksburg gave
rulers, pencils and blotters to
every student in High School.
We wish to express our
thanks to Mr. Oehler and Mr.
Kraus for their gifts to the
Harper School students.
