Tho meotincr of the St. Johns
Community Club hold in tho high
scnooi minding Tuesday evening
was ono of the beat and most in
teresting of nny of tho meetings
thus far hold. The attendance
was good and a spendid fooling
of co -operation and helpfulness
was manifested throughout. An
interesting feature of the gather
ing was a fine and appetizing
cafeteria luncheon served by
tho Domestic Scicnco Depart
mcnt of tho high school. Fino
vocal Holoctions by the Girls'
and Boys' Quartctss mado the
event ittill more pleasing, which
was followed by a shadow pan
tomime on tho inadequacy of
the high school building.
The meeting was called to or
der by Chairman Mouahan after
the luncheon had bcon disposed
of in n satisfactory manner. Al
ter the minutes of the prov ious
meeting wore read and approved,

high school sito. F. P. Drinker
stated that its sizo was his
only objection to tho Caplos tract.
and that ho did not euro what
sito wnu solccted so long as it
contained nt least 20 acres.
County Commissioner" Muck uaid
he felt certain that Commission
er Mann and tho Mayor, nt least,
favored the purchase of a tract
of 20 or more acres. It is ex
pected that the matter will bo de
finitely decided within tho next
ten duys.
W. II. Bonham, reporting for
tho committco on high school,
etnU"i Miul t' .vjak Bpota of
the hiu'i building had
kjti tub.- .nv- i.Igntod and a
contrast wu. . ..ulo with tho

better in evory way. Tho school
board is nlive to tho fnct that
this district ia badly in need of
u now high school building,
said Mr. Bonham, and agreed
that when funds aro nvailablu
