PLEASANT VALLEY SCHOOL
 
A basket supper and social was given by the teacher and pupils of Pleasant 
Valley School in Sand Hollow on April 6th for the benefit of the Red Cross, a 
splendid program of flag drills, patriotic poems, songs, etc.  The proceeds 
from the sale of baskets amounted to $70.25.  A beautiful cake had been 
prepared by Mrs. A. J. Harker with a red cross on top, was put up for the 
prettiest girl, each five cent bid entitled the bidder to one vote.  Here is 
where Geo. Scott got in his work as an auctioneer.  The bidding came thick and 
fast, with several young ladies in the contest for the prize which finally 
closed in favor of Miss Inez Root, of Weiser Cove.  The proceeds from the sale 
of the cake amounted to $51.95 making a total of $122.20.  The cake was then 
donated to the Red Cross and brought to Payette.  There is certainly loyalty 
in the teacher Harry Farnham, the parents and pupils of that section who are 
striving to make homes in that dry country without water for irrigation where 
a few years ago was but the home of the Coyote and Jack Rabbit.
