The Lyceum last Thursday evening
called in an appreciative group of
listeners, and a larger group than was
really expected; The actors were
pood and the play one that had some
choice humor. The pupils, teache. ,
Phoenix Club, and other citizens gave
fine co-operation in efforts to make:
this attraction a success. $lifi 10 w.v
received for tickets and $21.00 more
mysteriously appeared at the bank to
plec* out that deficit on this number.

usually fortunate in having beautiful
fall flowers, and the school has been
fortunate that many persons hava
shared their flowers to make the
school rooms more attractive. Almost
nil teachers appreciate the beauty of
these gifts, but. whatever lends to a
K>tt*r environment in school rooms
inearts more to the life of the. children
than it does to that of the fce'hche*
