CLOSING EXERCISES AT
WEST ATHENS SCHOOL.
The closing exercises of the Nan-
tahala Avenue School were held on
Friday morning and were attended by
quite a large number of persons who
are interested in what is being done
there.
The rooms were prettily decorated
with ropes of cedar, holly wreaths.
Christmas bells and many bright or
naments that the deft fingers of the
pupils had made.
At half-past nine the exercises were
begun, the first number on the pro
gram being a Christmas carol sung
by all the pupils. After this Mr.
Beatty made a happy little talk to
the children on the meaning and sig
nificance of Christmas and the intent
ness with which they listened to every
word he spoks showed their deep in
terest In what he was saying.
The pupils then gave several reci
tations and songs appropriate to th-
season and the whole-hearted way In
which they threw themselves Into
these was delightful. The person who
wouldn’t have caught the Christmas
spirit as he heard these happy voices
and looked into the expectant faces
of those bright-eyed children would
Indeed be heartless.
When the children beheld the re
splendent Christmas tree they were
somewhat awed and especially as Mrs.
Santa Claus was there to greet them.
As each child was given a present
a murmur of pleasure went round the
room, and it did one good to see how
genuinely happy the simple gifts made
them. The tree was a great success
and the teachers In the school and the
parents of the pupils attending it arc
deeply grateful to Mrs. H. C. Conway
for getting it up.
