This has been discussed for some time and most of th'e patrons are anxious for it. As long as there is any hope of consolidation and a nice up-t-date school building, there is no use to spend much money on an old building. Just before school started, Septem ber 13, the trustees had the interor of the building painted and this add ed very much to its attractiveness. The children are very eager to make their school interesting and they worked faithfully for Thanksgiving and Christmas entertainments. The patrons attended well. Our school was in need of supple mentary library books and a Washing ton's party was decided on. The weather was unfavorable. However, $It6.20 was cleared. The rest of the money will be invested in maps and a picture, it is our intention to have an Easter egg hunt, then a picnic at the close of school. The two perfect attendance pupils are Gertrude and Wilber Cole. Friendship School. Friendship school, which is situated in Youngs Township has had a suc cessful session so far. Our school has been going on very nicely and has made many improvements. On the night of Thanksgiving, in November, the Rural Improvement Association gave an oyster supper for the benefit of the school. The amount of $18.00 was cleared from this supper. This money has been used in buying twelve new, single desks, six new shades and a new front door. The association is nwr getting ipl a play, which we are going to have some time in April. The money will go for the benefit of the school. The children of the school raised $5.00 for supplementary read ers which we have enjoyed reading very tuch. A number of public meetings have been held at the school house. The teachers taught a night school three weeks. U)r. Bryson of Gray Court catie over and talked to the children and Riural Improvement Association. We have also had several interesting association meetings. The trustees and patrons, as well as a nutilber of other lieople, of this com imuiity, seem very miu1ch interested in the welfare of the school. They give Ieir support whenever it is needed. Our altelldanlCe for the year has been good. being higher 'th: it was last year.

Shades, waste baskets, pic tures and library books have boon bought by the School Improvoment Association; also several minor im provements have been made. The amount raised by giving public entertainments is thirty-seven dollars and twenty-five cents. All this amount has been expended for improvemets. We feel the great need of a new school building and hope to have one in a few years. A play "Valley Farm" was given at this school building on December 22nd and it was given again at Ilickory Tav ern in .January. On the 22nd of Feb ruary, the Calhoun Literary Society held a public meeting celebrating Washington's birthday. The pat-ons of the school have shown that they take great interest in education by their attendance at public meetings and entertainments. They also take much interest in the School Improvement Association. The perfect attendance pupils are Ethel Armstrong, Grace Wallace, Ruth Wallace, Arthur Wilson, Janie Wilson and Robert Wilson. Our teachers this term are Miss Helen Martin, who is principal; Miss Maary McKee, intermediate teacher, and Miss Iucia Wolff primary teacher. Hurricane School. The school session of 1915-16 opened September 6, with an enrollment of twenty-six. Upon entering the work for the improvement of the school, we determined to join 'The Get a Bale" movement. In our endeavor we came next to the front with a 5.12 pound bale of cotton. The total amount raised for im provements, up to date, is $105.11. About $85.00 has been put into school imnprovement s such as desk, globes, hanging inmps. clocks, mottoes, point ers, flag, bookcase, books, stove, pans, vases and centerpieces. An oyster supper given by the school was much enjoyed by the par ents and those interested in the school affairs. The public was delighted also with a Christmas tree gotten up under the supervision of the teachers. The school children also treated a large audience with a play and other inter esting exercises.
