' o School
Notes.
"i
Everywhere in the Kingstree school
the Christmas spirit is filling the air.
All the grades are having trees and
many are the secrets and whispering
of "Christmas gifts."
The primary grades presented a
play on Tuesday night for the benefit
of the Parent-Teacher Association.
The teachers of the county enjoyed
hearing the address by Mr. Hope,
the new state superintendent
The next meeting will be held on
January the 20th, but the program
is not yet complete. All teachers of
the county are urged to come to
these meetings for many things of
importance are discussed.
We hope the rumor of a new high
school building is founded on fact
and that we will soon be able to see
it become a reality.
School closes for Christmas on December
the 20th and opens for work
again on January 3rd. We wish you
all a merry Christmas.

One of the loveliest of the Chrisl
mas festivities was the party give
for the yomjger set by Miss Belv
Jenkinson at her home on Tuesda
evening. Attractively rhymed an
decorated invitations had been sen
out for the occasion and when, th
guests arrived, they found the hous
in cozy contrast to the bitter weath
er outside. Everywhere Christma
decorations brought out the joy o
the season that was already bubblih
in the hearts of the young people
After every one had arrived, the
were told find the partners wh
waited for them at the end of myria
strings which were wound in and ou
about the house. The boys were giv
en one end of the string and th
girls the other, and the effort to fin
each other caused much merriment
A second clever plan for mating th
young people was the giving to eaci
one a card <on which directions wer
written, such as to stand in the corn
er, etc. The boys were told to obe;
the orders written on the card whicl
they drew, and the girls to find th
boy who was doing the stunt tha
was suggested on the card hande
her. When everybody had found th
right partners, squares of materia
were given each couple together wit!
twelve buttons, needle and threac
The girls were to thread the needl
while the boys held them, and the
tn caw tVio Kntfftns rm t.hp floth whil
the boys held that. Miss Elizabetl
Swails and Rudolph Harrington wer
the couple who finished this task firs
and to them was given a box of candj
Progressive conversation was next i:
order after which refreshments ap
propriate to the season, were serve
in the dining room which was softl;
lighted with many red Christma
candles. As they left the dininj
room, the guests were each present
ed with a tiny silver Christmas be]
which was pinned on with a shininj
bow of tinsel.
After supper every one had
chance to throw a balloon througl
two hoops, one of which was woun
about with smilax and the othe
fringed with yellow tissue papei
Those who succeeded in Retting ;
balloon through the green hoop wer
assured of happiness, and throug!
the yellow of wealth. The last bi
of fun was an animal hunt, in whicl
the animal proved to be animal crack
ers. Miss Mary Catherine Epps wa
most successful in finding the great
est number of animals and wa
awarded with a box of candy.
It was near midnight when good
nights were said and. the young folk
took their departure regretfully
loathe to end so delightful an even
ing.
This year the Christmas exercise
of the Kingstree school were held o:

Santa Claus, the Sand-Man, a littl
mother with ten children and a doze;
or more of lttle nieces and nephew*
dream-land fairies, Christmas fairies
mistletoe and holly, and other char
acters, the star of the performanc
was little Martha Claiborne who tool
the part of a little poor girl who hai
never had any Christmas presents
At the cl6se of the play, Santa Claus
elves brAsght in a big Christmas pis
which upon being presented to th
little poor girl, was opened and foun
to contain the Spirit of Blessings
and in came Peace On Earth, Jo
and Good Will To Men personifie
in dear little girls.
The play closed with the whol
casfte on the stage listening to th
singing of sweet Christmas carol
outside.
Kindergarten mothers were invite

others was emphasized and the littl
folks filled a big stocking to be given
to some "little child who did no
have any Christmas." At the mantl
were hung Christmas stockings wit
the name of one of the kindergarten
ers on each and which containe
fruit, candy and a toy from thei
fceacher. A miniature Christmas tre
was Arranged at one end of the sam
tadecorated, as were the wall
the room with pretty Christma
festoons made by the children them
selves. At the other end of the san
table the story of the first Christma
night was portrayed. There was a tin;
shepherd watching his flock of littl
sheep, while in the distance the wis
men approached on their camels th
stable where the Babe lay, and ove
all hung the Star of Bethlehem. Fo
