(Master Omihles ' Anstay) tried to

Q@r� &ad. Perhaps the most pleas-
iutg`numjler on the programme was a
:pageant made up by the teacher, Miss
Mabel Hogg, and pupils, in which
Miss Minnie Habkirk, as Britannia,
welcomed the nations. As they came
they gave some song.er dance of their
own nation. Last, but certainly not
least, came Miss Pearl Webster as
Canada, in her long flowing robes
and golden hair. While she came the
nations sang, 0, Canada. The pro-
gramme shouldhave lost much had"it
not had the Hogg- orchestra. This
was their second appearance with
their new instruments and they cer-
tainly did well. We hope to - hear
them many times in the fture. Mr.
Oliver Elliott was also therewith his
comic songs. -He is always welcome.
The programme closed with a chorus
by the school, entitled "Santa Claus
is Coming." after which Santa came
and distributed his gifts. The na-
tional anthem closed the proceedings
The proceeds amounted to $28.
