At 4 o'clock this afternoon the doors of all the buildings , from the Washington school to the Grant , were locked up tight and not a soul , except the janitors , will enter again for work until a Monday morning in the far away , distant September. This after noon flocks of children who go to school , from the tiny tots of preliminary grades to the pretty nearly young ladies with skirts covering their shoe tops and al most young men who are learning to shave , gathered around their teachers' desks in an informal way and were given collections of report cards which have recorded what they did and what they didn't do throughout the term. They drew out the rulers and books and notes that their own desks have con cealed during the many months just gone , and went away. The little fol lows who have dropped marbles ( on the floor in school hours , were given back their "commies" and carnelians , which they really never expected to see again , and the girls were allowed to take home the dolls and toys that they wanted to play with when they should have been working. Last night the juniors of the high school closed their year with , a nifty program as follows : Instrumental Solo Jessie Drebert. Recitation Ella Hauptli. Instrumental Solo Eva Carpenter.
