The Y. M. C. A. is getting a wonderful start. It
now boasts 35 members, most of which are new but
all have proven to be game sports as members.

WINONA HALL NOTES
One of the girls, Juanita Frye, thought she would
have some fun wuth Mr. Allen’s horse last Sunday
and tried to ride it to the Winona Court. When the
horse got in the hall it fell down. It took quite a bit
of coaxing to get the horse out of Winona.
Mr.
Allen and his boys finally assisted in getting the horse
from the girls building, by removing the back door.

the Live Stock Exposition last week.

A LETTER OF SYMPATHY

Tuesday evening. The main purpose of this meet-
ting was to elect officers.
A considerable number of new faces were present
at the meeting. Every one showed the old Little
Flower Society spirit which goes to prove that the
club may exect a very successful future.
The following were elected as the officers:
Mary
lyall, president; Josephine Reynolds, vice-president;
Alice Cross, secretary; Dorothy Henderson, treasurer;
Alice Alexander, song and yell leader; Laura Walters,
sergeant at arms; Gertie Adams, reporter.
It is with pity we print the tragedy which has be­
fallen Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Hammang, proprietors of
the Kick Back store, over the lost of their only daugh­
ter. Their young daughter is said to have wandered
out to Hazel Green Park with a group of younsters
and while swinging on a rope lost her hold, falling into
deep water.
We express our extreme sympathy to
the bereaved parents who we feel are connected with our
school. The students and employes have expressed their
condolence over their loss and have received a script
gratefully acknowledging and appreciating our kind
expressions from them.
