School .Notes
R:!osevelt School closed at noon on Wednesday for the Thanksgiving va¬ cation. The faculty left for their re- ¦-pective homes in the afternoon.
The school work for the month of October has been greatly handicapped by the constant finding of carriers in different grades of the school. After each carrier is found, the room is closed and fumigated which necossi- tiites a constant changing of the regu¬ larly planned work. Drs. Rhame, I'hipps and Bergen are still busy cul- luri^ig al! children as fast as the'tulies arrive 4o do so.
Miss Westervelt attended the prm- cipal's meeting at Valley Stream on I'Viday.
The attendance banner goes to Mrs. Combs'^ .jth (irade for the past two weeks.*
"The Four Seasons," pre sented by the Blue Triangle Club of Roosevelt assisted by many of the school girls at the Royal Theatre on Friday ev¬ ening last was a great success. The patronesses were: Mrs. A. S. Hub¬ bard, Miss Gertrude Westervelt and Mrs. M. E. Carpenter.
