business meeting of the class.
The meeting was opened with
prayer by the teacher, Mrs. Dan

all, especially the recitation by
Mrs. Delia Force.
The program was concluded by

their respective homes feeling
that they had spent an enjoyable
afternoon. Those present were:
Mesdames Howell, Stanton,

A Better School Shoe
Parents desiring the most dressy, and at the same
time the best wearing school shoe, will buy the
"ETERNITY"
We have sold these shoes long enough to know that
"THEY WEAR LIKE IRON"
and hold their shapeliness to the last. They are
solid leather through and through. We know
this to be true, just as the picture shows.
"The 'Eternity' is a Better School Shoe
for Boys and Girls."
