The ninth graders gave their teacher, Miss W hite,
a surprise party last Saturday evening in honor of her
birthday. The domestic science parlor and dining
room was the scene of the occasion. The dining
room was turned into a cosy parlor and J small tables
with various games were in both rooms. After an
hour of games the party left for the gym where an
hour's dancing was enjoyed, returning to the domestic
science for refreshments. Shorts talks were made dur
ing the refreshments after which goodniglits were said
and the party broke up.
GOD SAVE OUR M EN
It is a gratifying little circumstance, in these days
when the English-speaking peoples stand shoulder to
shoulder in defense of hum anity, that “ God Save the
K ing” and “ America” are set to the same tune. There
comes down to us from Canada a new verse that fits
equally well with either of the two versions, theirs
and ours. It is already being sung here as well as
there. It runs thus:
G od bless o u r sp len d id m en ,
Send th em safe hom e a g ain ,
God save o u r m en!
H appy an d g lo rio u s,
D auntless an d C hivalrous,
W inners of freedom ,
G od save ou r m en!
It should be sung whenever “ America” is used.
It strikes a note to which every American heart must
thrill a response.
DOMESTIC SCIENCE D IN N E R P A R T Y
The second year vocational domestic science class,
under the direction of Miss Lemley, gave a demon
stration of their culinary skill last Thursday evening
in the form of a delightful dinner. Two tables were
set in the domestic science dining room, seating twelve.
Yellow Jonquils made a most attractive center piece,
while dainty place cards of yellow daisy design and
yellow nut holders carried out the yellow color scheme.
The menu consisted of the following:
W afers
C ream Pie
Coffee
Everything was excellently cooked and the serving
was admirably done.
The hostesses were Julia Mills, Bertha Grimes, Eliz
abeth Reinville and Maybelle Heay, and the waitresses
were Sadie Knowles aud Julia Gromoff. Superinten
dent and Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Jaquins, Mrs. Fulkerson,
Miss Flint and Miss Mitchell were the invited guests.
R E A D THE OFFICIAL JO U R N A L
Owing to the enormous increase of government war
work, the government departments at W ashington are
being flooded with letters of inquiry on every conceiv
able subject concerning the war, and it has been
found a physical impossibility for the clerks, though
they number an army in themselves now, to give
many of these letters proper attention and reply. There
is published daily at W ashington, under authority of
and by direction of the President , a government news
paper, The Official U. S. Bulletin. This newspaper
prints every day all of the more im portant rulings,
decisions, regulations, proclamations, orders, etc.,
etc., as they are promulgated by the several depart
ments and the many special committees and agencies
now in operation at the National Capital. The Official
Journal is posted each day in every postoffice in the
United States, more then 56,000 in number, and
may also be found on file at all libraries, boards of
trade and chambers of commerce, the offices of mayors
and governors and federal officials. By consulting
these files most questions will be found readily answer
ed; there will be little necessity for letter writing; the
unnecessary congestion of the mails will be apprecia
bly relieved; the railroads will be called upon to move
fewer correspondence sacks, and the mass of business
that is piling up in the government departments will
be eased considerably. Hundreds of clerks now answer-
ing correspondence will be enabled to give their time
to essentially important war work, and a fundamen
tally patriotic service will have been performed by the
public.
The chaperones for girls going walking next S un
day are Mr. Daly and Mrs. Woods for W inona Hall,
and Mr. Swoboda and Mrs. Loos for McBride Hall
