In June we entertain the class which will be leaving the school and also give a book to the out- standing girl and one to the out- standing boy in this class. We donate the money to supply prizes for field day, and each child is given a treat on that day. This year we are establishing a lending iibrary. Parents and members may borrow pam- phlets and booklets, which will be on display at each meeting, and return them on the next meeting night. We wish to thank the Times- Gazette for their wonderful help in reporting our meetings and other events from time to time.
