Valentine Boxes, Stomachs Bulge At Parties
Well, we can take down Cupid
and her Valentines‘and start get
ting some Easter eggs ready for
Peter Cottontail. Every room had
a party and the Valentine trade
must have been exceptionally
brisk, judging by the bulging
Valentine boxes. The local Post
Office seemed to handle the in
crease In mail much better than
the teaching staff and the excite
ment and confusion as the names
were called out
equalled the clamour
the Indians used to
mail coach.
Some of the names
been just as easily deciphered if
they had been written in Indian
signs. One Kindergarten member
addressed his own cards and if
there is a child answering to the
name of PHCUJOA, or one with
14 Os in his names, Mrs. Jermyn
has a Valentine for him—or her,
Mrs. Jamieson was still passing
out lunch on Thursday, either a
cookie or a sandwich but not
enough for one of each (what, a
difficult decision for those twitch
ing tummies.
Mrs. Hughson’s class drew the
names of the children in Miss
Scarlett’s room and then sent a
pretty Valentine invitation to
their guests. The programme was
under the direction of Barbara
McDonald, Lynda Balfour, Alvin
Campbell and Jimmie Jones.
Both rooms contributed musical
numbers, stories and readings
and the fact that the children
shared their talents and their
lunch made it a Valentine Party
in the true sense of the word.
In Mrs. Turvey’s room it was
the same story—Valentines and
more Valentines and, as in the
other rooms, the children them
selves were responsible fox' the
programme.
Mrs. Portei’ and Mrs. Arm
strong combined forces, Mrs.
Porter's class putting on the pro
gramme and being very hospit
able to theii’ guests.
In Mr. Wilson’s room, Janice
Hamilton had charge of arrange
ments and Valentine’s of every
description were dropped in the
gaily decorated box.
In Room 8 the old maxim,
must have
with which
greet the
could have
[“Faint heart never won fair
lady”, was exemplified to great (advantage when the boys eagerly
bid on boxes of delicious food,
prepared by the girls in decorat
ed Valentine boxes for the box
social. Mr. Blowes auctioned off
the boxes and the splendid sum
of twelve dollars was realized for
the “March of Dimes”. The boys
lost no time in devouring the
food, so great was their confid
ence in the cooking ability of
the girls—as Johnny said to
Joey, “Don’t you pray before
you eat?” and Joey answered,
“No, I don’t have to—my mother
is a good cook”.
Visit Knollwood Park
Eleven members of the staff
and school board made the de
layed trip to the new Knollwood
Park school in
Thursday night.
Banks, who has a cottage at
Turnbull’s Grove and knows sev
eral people in Exeter, proved a
very fine “touring guide” and a
wonderful host. As the teachers
followed him and his assistant,
Mrs. McNaughton, from one class
room to another, they noted the
window decorations, wall murals,
work books and equipment,
while the board members in
vestigated everything from the
rubber feet that held the desks
in place to the lights in the
ing. Aftei’ inspecting all
rooms, we were invited to
lady teachers’ room where
Executive of the Knollwood
Home and School Club served a
very delicious lunch—after the
board and teachers had argued
as to whom was going to be
“Joe” for a cup of coffee on the
way home. The lunch was in
deed a surprise and just as much
appreciated as the food was the
kind hospitality which prompted
such a gesture.
The hockey league played its
