Manassa, January 30.

The members OF the preparatory
department held their class meet
ing Tuesday evening. There was
IA large crowd out and the evening
was spent in games, songs and
dancing. Prof. Cornwall played
the role of spiritualist and tried to
give several the spirit. We have
not learned as to whether they
were good or evil spirits, but by
the way some of his victims acted,
it appears that they were evil spir-
its. They also had peanut race
Miss Clara Peterson recited a
piece on Bill Browns education
which was very interesting. Am
aranta Lopez sang Spanish song.
Refreshments were served about
10 O'Clock and the rest of the even

that their party was the best of the
season.
First Year Class.-The first year

good attendance. A great deal of
enthusiasm was aroused and before
the meeting adjourned it became
very interesting. We have a full

to devote five or ten minutes of
each meeting to parliamentary law.
A few rules are to be given each
week by the program committee.
This committee is chosen by the
class president.
Members of our class assisted in
the program rendered by the stu

The key to success is education
and by a knowledge of things We
work out our future destiny. In
youth we plant the seed that
makes the man.
Take a little from the sayings of
franklin and make them a part of
life and your efforts are bound to
be crowned with success. Be like
Lincoln, when you begin thing
never leave it until you have eked
out of it all that there is in it. Be
not like the hypocrites who stand
on the street corners with their hat
stuck on one side of their heads
and a cigarette in their mouths
protesting a knowledge of art and
science. Verify | say unto you
they have their reward
