Dayton Items 1890- Lafayette Weekly Courier, March 18, 1890 School Surprises On Friday last was the closing day of Elliott school at Culver [District School #10] and as a surprise to both teacher and pupils the patrons and friends to the number of 75 assembled with well filled baskets. The tables fairly groaned under their weight of eatables, such as only the ladies of Elliott know how to prepare. In the afternoon an entertainment was given by the school. An excellent program was carried out consisting of music and recitations, after which Mr. Elliott voiced the sentiments of the patrons in voting Mrs. Peters a successful teacher, having given entire satisfaction during the period of four terms of school. Not being content with one surprise on their teacher the young folks decided a party was in order ...
