MANCHESTER 
Mr. and Mrs. James Knight Pulsi- 
fer have sent out invitations this week 
for the marriage and marriage recep- 
tion of their daughter, Ruth Alden, 
and Mr. William Warick Hoare, 
Thursday evening, January 11. 
Principal Albert Mead of the G. A. 
Priest school was the victim of a_ sur- 
prise party last Friday evening when 
the pupils of Grade 9 called at his 
Ashland avenue home. Mr. Mead 
was out in the early evening returning 
at 9 o’clock only to find his house in 
the hands of a merry party of young 
people. He ‘‘made good,’’ however, 
and a most delightful evening was 
passed. A pleasant feature of the oc- 
casion was the presentation by the 
class of a beautiful Japanese salad 
bowl. 
A family reunion was held at the 
residence of Mr. and Mrs. Osborne 
Leach, School street, on Christmas 
day, three generations of both families 
being represented. Among their 
guests were the Hon. Henry C. 
Leach, Mr. and Mrs. Henry R. Leach 
and family, Superintendent of Schools 
Perkins and Mrs. Perkins, Mr. and 
Mrs. Fred Perkins and family of 
Salem, Mr. and Mrs. George F. Allen 
and Miss Susan Leach of this town. 
Born Friday, Dec. 22, a daughter to 
Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Reilly, Lincoln 
street. 
Born Sunday, Dec. 24, a son to Mr. 
and Mrs. J. Davis Baker, Lincoln 
street. 
Henry Menken, caretaker at the F. 
M. Whitehouse estate, is in New 
York enjoying a ten days’ vacation

Mrs. Gardner Heath of the Cove 
has had as her guest the past week, 
her niece, Miss Etta Nichols of Lynn. 
Miss Alice Quimby of Salem has 
been spending the week at the Cove 
with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ed- 
ward Hooper. 
Miss Gertrude Appleton of Hamil- 
ton spent the holidays in town a guest 
of Mr. John L. Prest. 
Mrs. Ezekiel Lethbridge has been

Christmas at the Cove, guest of Mr. 
and Mrs. Daniel Stearns.

is visiting her cousin, Mrs. Jacob Kit- 
field at the Cove.

When the schools open next Tues- 
day morning after a ten days’ recess, 
Grade 9 will not go to the High school 
building ‘but. to the G. A. Priest 
school which has been changed around 
considerably the past week. All the 
rooms but two have been reseated. 
Another change will be in Grades 1 
and 2. The former will go to school 
the next term only in the morning 
and the latter in the afternoon, and 
each will have three teachers. 
Progress on the new school build- 
ing is good because of the warm 
weather. The ventillating system has 
just been put in. 
Apropos of the institution of a reg- 
ular system of manual training in the 
Manchester schools, the parents can 
well realize its significance and im- 
portance from the work done by the 
pupils who are taking the rather 
meagre course offered now in this 
branch and in sewing. Many have 
had an opportunity to see the work of 
the pupils in the Christmas presents 
they have made and distributed. It 
is the intention of the superintendent 
and board to have some sort of man- 
ual training in every grade adapted 
to the age of the pupils. Several 
sewing machines are to be put in the 
coming term. The _ exhibition of 
school work to be made in May ought 
to be far ahead of that of last year.
