Piney Grove Indian School Closing Exercises April 25, 1924

Piney Grove Indian School Finals April 25. . . First Closing Exercises in 7 Years and They’re Going to Limit in a Great Time—School a Great Success

By S.H. Hunt

Fairmont, Rout 1, April 18—the school year has been a great success at Piney Grove No. 1, White House township.

Our school was well represented in the county commencement. In every contest except one, our school was enrolled. The children took part in the contests with as much vigor as if borned to win. they never went to the front but were so near, they were numbered among the best, but they are already planning to try for the best next year if they have another commencement.

Our school will close April 25. We are expecting to have a grand time that day and we are extending a cordial invitation to all to come and have a great time. We are expecting to have a dinner served to all at 12 o’clock and ask the ladies to bring a good full basket. Since there has not been any closing exercise here for about seven years, we are going to limit this time.

Everybody come.
