The room in which the ! entertainment was held was filled to ! its utmost capacity witn patrons and friends of the school, as \vell as th'j " sehccl children themselves. 1, The program carried out was ex' j ceedingly interesting, being in the na" ture of Thanksgiving exercises, and > 1 - V ' ; the various numoers wert aiiiiuun^cu 2 j by the Rev. Mr. Long. s j The first number was "America," s sung by eight' little girls, and this 2 | was followed by a talk by th<2 Rev. 2 j Mr. Long. Mr. Long ? told of the ", many blessings we have for which " i thanks should be given and mentioned , as one of the greatest blessings the 0 privilege which the generation of to' day enjoys of having such fine op1 , portunities of. obtaining an education. i' He gave several reminiscences of his own boyhood school days, interspersing his talk with witty remarks which delighted his hearers, especially the 1 younger boys of the audience. " ! A composition, "Tfte nrsi inariK5' 1 giving," was read by little Miss Annie 1 iMae Fritk, in which an account was * j given of the landing of the Pilgrims \' and the celebration of thei first [ Thanksgiving day. s A recitation, "We Thank Thee,"' s j was given by three little girls,; Mar" j tha and Mary Frick and Leona Can1 non, after which another composition was read by Miss Marie FrieK entitled, "What Boys and Girls o$ 56uth 3 j Caroina Should be Thankful for to~ ' day."

I He complimented the members of j School Improvement association who : are doing such good work for the > I school and voiced his hope that a new | building would be erecteri m tins com_1 munity to serve as a school and a j community center, with an adequate s auditorium in which to hold meetings and a-n up-to-date lighting plant. He e ' touched on the state aid for rural a schools and explained that und'er the e law the salaries of teachers are guar_, anteed* but that incidental expenses 5' must be met by the communities s themselves. . | After the program an informal social hour was enjoyed by all present (#* 'and many entertaining features were j introduced. In one corner of the 1 room an attractive booth was arrang.! ed and presided over by several pretty ; girls who sold home-made candies, * ' * j cake and sandwicnes. a umi puu | in another corner of the room fur1 ' nished amusement to a large number - j and the attractions were brought to I j a close by the cake-walk in which a k great many of the young people of | the community participated. i , This was a very fine entertainment - jancf speaks well for the great amount -) of interest that is taken in the school by the patrons and other citizens cf i ; the community and shows the value ) of cooperation between the school and the community. t i !
