Grange Has Fun at
St. Patrick's Party
By Bertha Hunt
Lexington grange held its regular
meeting Saturday evening. Several
applications for grange membership
are in the hands of that committee.
Renewed effort in building up the
organization was uged by State Mas
ter Ray W. Gill. The lecturer's hour,
with its St. Patrick's motif, proved
both entertaining and instructive.
We think of higher education as
something modern. Joe Belanger, in
seeking something of interest about
the Emerald Isles, was surprised to
find that about the year 800 A. D.
the University of Edinburg had
more than 3000 students. Religious
persecution on the mainland caused
a migration of the persecuted to the
islands, where freedom of thought
abounds. Since the monks were the
chief educators and linguists of the
land it helped make Edinburg the
chief center of learning of the time.
Alf Nelson said he heard that in
early times in Ireland there were
lots of Irish and monkeys; that the
monkeys got so numerous they ser
iously menaced the lives of the na
tives by destroying their crops. The
English sent soldiers into Ireland to
kill off the monkeys and to make
sure they didn't shoot the natives,
they put green neckties on them.
Thus: "The wearers of the green."
Joe Devine and Mrs. Maud Pointer
won suitable door prizes.

School News
The high school students were en

fessor of speech at Pacific univer

consisted of four Pacific students.
The manager of the team was Frank
Roberts. "Boxer," the spirit of Pa

er was a Chinese idol, belonging to
a wealthy family. After the Boxer
rebellion in China, Boxer was pick
