The Webster kindergarten through fifth grade hosts the last public program of the year Friday night while Spring vacation looms next week. Enrollment dips in lower grades due to spring moves, and Miss Renaud returns to work in the kindergarten after a broken arm. The Juniors stage the play And Billy Disappeared to raise funds for the Junior-Senior banquet, coached by Miss Doornwaard, praised as one of the school’s most successful productions. A lengthy list of contest registrants from many local schools is noted, with details on grade levels and ages.
