May 9th. The Dentist took 2 days for fillings and extractions. The first day we spent part of the time in the playground and part of the time in Mr. Beach's garage, but there was not room enough for us to sit down. It was very cold.

The second day the hall was hired for the Dentist and the children were able to stay at school and work as usual.

December 19th. The children have made themselves head bands - the boys Red Indian ones with dyed feathers - the girls knitted wool ones with Lazy daisy stitch. We had a party this afternoon.

May 1st. We have received a letter of thanks from the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
