On December 19th school section No. 8 enjoyed its first Christmas tree. An excellent programme was well rendered in the new and up to-date schoolhouse. The presents to the teacher showed the estimation in which she is held in this section. Twenty-five pupils were present and each had a part to perform and all did well. The enthusiasm of the children spread to the elders and thus the affair was made a complete success.
