Class Presents
"Boston Tea Party'
The 8th B class had a history
play Friday in class. The name
of the play was “The Boston Tea
Party” made up of a group of
ladies who met at Mrs. E. King’s
house. They were called to prom
ise not to buy tea or any other
British goods until the rights of
the colonies were respected.
Characters participating in the
play had different names. They
were as follows:
Annie Burnett—Mrs. J. Moore
Esphere Foster—Mrs. E. King
Mary Mason—Mrs. E. S. Smith
Delores James—Mrs. E. Ed
wards
Betty Jones—Miss C. Harnett
Helen Walker—Mrs. E. Alston
This play was given because of
the studies of the colonies which
were trying to get their rights
from England in colonial days.
They would not obey the laws
and refused to pay taxes.

The 7th B Class has made
many beautiful things in our art
class. The first six weeks we
learned Shell Craft. The first
thing we learned was the names
of the different kinds of sea
shells.
We made earrings of many de
signs and shapes, decorated combs
and hair barrettes, made branches
of all kinds and decorated beauti
fully shaped bottles.
Our work was on display in
our display cabinet in the hall.
