lors und assemblage. Besides the
reception hall and parlor, another
room was used, and now and then
there were occupants of the veran
da. . The membership of the
League and the B. Y. P. U. aggre
gate more than eighty, but th e
attendance did not quite reach
that number.
There was no formal program
of exercises at any time, though

for enjoymsnt. Also, by request,
there were recitations by Misses
Maggie Day, Madie Davis and
Kate Hurst.
There were present young ladies

and a few married people..
Mrs. Gilbert and her niece
Miss Corinne Baldwin, proved

everything, at the right time, pro

At about 10 o’clock refresh
ments consisting of salads, crack
ers, chocolate and oaire were serv

several young ladies of the League.
Delicious as was this feature of
the reception, every other feature
was in harmony therewith, and
every moment of the time there
spent was completely full of
pleasure.
Directly after 11 reluctant good
nights were spoken, and one of the
very nicest social events ever at
tended in Perry became an event

The children were given an
egg hunt” Saturday afternoon j
at Small Academy, by their teach- j
er and it was enjoyed by all. The j
eggs which were in abundance and j
and beautifully colored, were hid- j
den in the grove around the Acad- i
emy and were eagerly sought for|
3y about forty children. It yas i
indeed a great pleasure to watch i
them in their innocent glee run-!
ning here and there hunting for 1
them. One little boy was heard j
to say: “Here’s a doose egg thej
wabbits left here.” Every one!
was fortunate enough to find j
eggs, and went home with happy
hearts.
Easter was very appropriately
observed at Small Academy, and
through the efforts of our worthy
teacher, Miss Marie Nunn it was
grand success. The following
is the program which was. well
rendered:
Easter Anthem by choir. Song-
‘ Joy to the World.” Scripture
esson. Song—“Go tell the
World.” Recitation—“At Easter
time,” by Addie Hose; Recitation
“The secret of Easter Day,” by
six children; Song—“Ring the
bells of Easter’ ’; Recitation—
Two Pennies, by Andrew Clarke;
Recitation—Our Easter offering,
Josie Clarke and Rosa Barrow;
Selection—“Out of Joseph’s
Tomb,” by Miss Marie Nunn;
Song—“I will go Where you want
me to go”; Recitation—“How
St. Chrysoton prayed,” Jamie
Cheek; Recitation—“The Con
queror,” by Fannie Pearl Cheek;
Song—“Bring them in”; Reci
tation—“What Does Easter
mean?”, Estelle Hickson and
Leila May Hose; Recitation —
“A Vision”, Inez Stone; The
little Builder’s—by ten little chil
dren; Song—“Building day by
day”; Recitation—“Lou’s Sto
ry”) by Effie Harris; Song—
“Quick to the Rescue”; Song—
“God be with you till we meet
again.”
Each child acted his part well
and showed that they had been
well trained. The house was fill
ed to overflow. There were peo
ple from Perry, Henderson, Myr
tle and Marshallville. All seem
ed delighted with the exercises.
We are always glad to have you
with us, friends, come again?
We have a fine school, an ex
cellent teacher, and lots of chil
