When lo- cated Mr. Miller will occupy the LOCAL HAPPENINGS IN house. The entertainment was given in the assembly hall on the upper floor of the school house, and this spacious room, lighted b§ the most approved of modern methods and prettily decorated for the occasion, presented a pleasing appearance to the throngs who were early in their seats. The program opened with the immortal Christmas hymn, \Si- lent Night,\ well rendered by the entire school, after which Rev. Rollin Smith, in a few in- spired words, invoked a blessing upon the school and community. Last week's issue gave the de- tails of the program and, except for one eta numtier ren e e by Loretta Bouchard, it was given as printed. It is a matter of comment that most of the reci- tation and dialogue work was original with the gifb d principal of the school, Prof. Frank Vancil, Lulu Smith, the primary teacher; was the accompanist. A play by the senior girls was the piece d'resistance of the evening and each young lady took her part with more than ordinary dra- matic ability, while Miss Winnie Edwards, as maid, displayed tal- ent of rare merit. The program, as -given, speaks o umes for the teachers w - ho had so painstakingly drilled the children and the older pupils in their parts and the enthusiastic comments on this feature of the entertainment were heard on all sides.
