. DINNER
At noon all repaired to the dining
room, where after grace by Supt. Chal
craf. the students were served with a
tine turkey dinner. The employes of
the school carved the turkeys and acted
as waiter. The dining-room certainly
presented a fine appearance. Ever
greens, colored papers and pumpkins
were used in the artistic and beautiful ef
fects produced and were certainly a fine
testimonial for those who had the work
in charge.
Following is the menu served on this
occasion: Roast Oregon turkey with
cranberry sauce, giblet gravy, pickle

way. We had an unusually large gather

the occasion were in evidence on every
hand. The dining-room was beautifully
decorated, even to the tables, evergreens
being in profusion on all sides. Miss
Trouiman, manager of the ''Mess," and
her assistants are certainly deserving of
praise in making such ample provision
for the occasion.
