Some of the youngsters at the Lenton Council Infants' School enjoying lollipops today, part of a Christmas gift of sweets from mothers and children of the Eastside School, Washington, Ohio, USA.
"They're real ones aren't they ?" was the wondering remark of Tina Smith, aged four, a pupil at Lenton Council Infants' School, as she sucked a bright orange lollipop, a present from America. The lollipops were a Christmas present from parents and friends of the children at Eastside School, Washington, Ohio, USA where Miss N.A. Gullick, Head Teacher of Lenton Infants' School is spending a year under the teachers exchange scheme and were distributed to the four and five-year-olds of the school today.
