lost the Friday evening game to
WascQ.
A program was given in the high
school auditorium on Friday, Febru
ary 20th in honor of Washington’s
birthday.
Recitations, songs, the
minuet, and a one act play were the
main features of the program. An
essay on the life of Washington was
given by Eugene Elliott. The enter
tainment was well attended*by people
of the town and vicinity. After the
program, school was dismissed for the
day.
A small sized panic swept through
Moro school on Monday when it was
discovered that Dorris Morrison was
again present at school without wait
ing the usual prescribed period of
time after an attack of scarlet fever.
The little miss was sent home, the
pupils in her room dismissed for the
day, and the room fumigated as pre-
caution against others taking the
disease.
Three of the teachers of Moro
school enjoyed a brief week-end visit
at Portland oh the 20th.
At the
close ot the Washington birthday
program on Friday morning the Misses
