Mrs. Brouhard’s pupils told Thanksgiving stories and each child was given a tiny basket in memory "of the dag. Mrs. Kanne’s pupils gave their tune over to songs and stories after which a splendid little lunch was served of articles brought by the pupils from their homes. t . • Our new kitchen cabinet for the Domestic Science room arrived last Monday.
