GRAMMAR BUILDING CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS

Judging from the number of High School and Primary people wandering through the halls of the Grammar Building, there must be a powerful magnet in that building, j As we play the mouse and listen to ' comments, we learn that Christmas! is near. Miss English is doing all j in her power to have a white holiday. Above the blackboard there is a border of snow flakes through 5 which we catch glimpses of Old Santa with sleigh; a small village, and a 'homestead also appear among the drifts. Miss Garling has a Christmas arch decorated with evergreen, candles, bells, tinsel, and green andj red crepe paper. Bells, poinsettias, ! and evergreens decorate ceiling and windows, while Santas in haste enliven the blackboards. Miss Sage seems to have tried to 1 move into the forest, as a border i of evergreen surrounds the room, 1 while a tree proudly stands in one i corner. Mr. Leighly’s pupils have shown their ability as good housekeepers by washing all windows, pictures, j and blackboards, and by festooning | the room with bells and garlands j in Christmas colors. But the school bell is ringing, and 1 * so the children to whom we have been listening, must hurry along and leave us to imagine the remaining Christmas attractions. The students of Miss Norris’ second hour ''Latin class took time off last Friday to decorate their room for the Christmas season. Other class rooms and the assembly hall were decorated later in the day.
