W e’ll all be glad to see them back at th e ir places. Supt. and Mrs. H all dined w ith the Seniors re c e n tly . J u s t a little home d in n er. W e surely enjoyed h aving them . T h e girls were all “ sm ile s.” W e have been review ing seventh grade work for the benefit of o u r new girls. W e find it helpful to all, as we som etim es grow careless w hen it comes to order and system . A house for wood and coal is one of the needed th in g s being placed for our use. W e’ll be glad to use all these new th in g s wffien we retu rn to the Dom estic Science n ex t sem ester. O ur Ju n io r class served a 12 o ’clock luncheon to C ongressm an H aw ley and p arty on F riday. W e are alw ays happy to do such th in g s and it adds m uch to our ability to do th in g s. O ur new steam table will be of g reat service to us in serving ball team s and for large affairs in our de p artm e n t. W e th in k w e’re to have a gam e th is week. A nyw ay our “ m e n u ” is ready. C arpenters are m aking stu d y tables for M cBride H all. T h e painters have been very busy lately w ith broken glass and w ith th e finishing of tables for the Dom estic Science, w hich are now ready for delivery. T h e m asons and carpenters have moved the old isola tion ward back of the hospital over to th e rear of the Dom estic Science, w here it will be used for a coal house. T he m asons are rep airin g the oil tank today and will have it ready for m ore oil, w hich we are ex p ectin g . T h e m anholes built at several points on the grounds bv th e m asons are a credit to them . T h e engineers and plum bers are still very busy w ith the heating system . R e g u latin g valves, stopping leaks in old radiators and ta k in g care of th e num erous tr o u bles in cid en t to sta rtin g a new system . T h e lam p shafts m ade by G eorge P hinney are fine exam ples of good w orkm anship. M yrtle is a beautiful wood w hen properly w orked and polished and the job is a credit to the young m an and th e dep artm en t. A new line has to be laid from th e school building to the library, as th e old line has given out. T his is an o th er job th at will be com pleted as soon as possible. T h e garden detail is still d ig g in g potatoes, but they are nearly done now as th e re are only a few m ore rows of the patch not d u g . T h e p ainters are busy giving a m uch-needed coat to th e old p art of the Dom estic Science kitchen. W e very m uch appreciate it and are glad to have it done before th e large class com es in next week. Before long we sh ill a g iin re ic h the day set aside for the consider.ition of o u r m any blessings—T h a n k s giving. Few of us, indeed, w ho are so poor th at we have n o th in g to be th a n k fu l for; try to bear this in m ind at all tim es. Both classes in Domestic Science are try in g to finish up th e ir w ork, as th is is the last week for th is sem es te r. T h e seniors have figured long and faithfully on calories, b u t the re su lt is usually “ ap p ro x im a te .” H u m an “ b e in ’s ” differ so. Fred C ardin, violinist, and W illie R eddie, cellist, who were m em bers of th e In d ian S trin g Q uartet sent o u t from C hem aw a several years ago, are soon to tour the N orthw est w ith a concert com pany, in which they are sta rrin g , and intend to pay us a visit.
