ROUND TABLE STUDIES
LIVING MICRO-ORGAkiSM

illustrations of living mico-organ-
isms projected on a screen were of
immense interest last week to the
members meeting regularly each
Wednesday at 4:30 in biology round
table discussion. This organization
is composed voluntarily of students
interested in nature study and kim
dred subjects of biological nature.
Its purpose is to interest and instruct
greater number of persons in these
subjects who have otherwise not had
the opportunity to do so or who may
wish to pursue them further than class
room work will allow. In the spring
an extensive study is made of birds
and the fact that over $50 students
were interested in this study is indica-
tive of the organizations place in the
Normal school.

purpose.

of the association, Mr.. Hollis has Of
fered cash prize of $500 to the stu
dent receiving the highest grades in

Cooking Classes Show
Work In Candy Making

An appetizing and Chrtstmasy ex'
hibit of bakery articles and candies
were on exhibition at the Domestic
Science department this afternoon.
The bakery exhibit contains every
thing from the finest fig cakes 10 the
lightest Of bread, including such dain-
ties as: peanut cookies, mince pies,
date crackers, doughnuts and pecan
cookies Besides these there were
some fine examples OF the work Of the
department in mince meats, jellies
and canned goods.
The classes in sewing had on exhibit
ton some Of the gowns made in class,
doilies, hand baskets, etc., and the
Model school classes showed work in
dressing dolls. An interesting feature
of this was the fact that the materials
and dolls had been purchased by the
department and the finished product
was given to children OF the needy.
The candy department OF the exhi-
bit was real center of attraction as
butter scotch, peanut brittle and divin-
ity fudge are always apt to be. But
this by no means exhausted the sup
ply nor the varieties on exhibition.
There were chocolate drops, stuffed
dates, walnut creams, patience fudge,
caramel fudge, marshmellows, fruit
creams, confectionery patties, Cocoa
nut puffs and many other things that
space win not permit us to mention.
At 4:30 these exhibits were put on
sale and by 5 O'Clock the tables were

Strong Play Brings
Praise and ShekelS
FIRST PRODUCTION OF DRAMA
TIC CLUB WITNESSED BY A
LARGE AUDIENCE.

The first production of the Drama
tic club this year passed into his
tory on Monday evening which its
members may we'll be proud to look
back upon in the years to come. The
cast of "a Midsummer Nights
Dream" fairly outdid itself and it is
not for us to offer any criticism other
than that all deserve the commenda-
tion that the large audience accord
ed them on Monday evening.
It was due to the team work of this
large cast that the production proved
to be the success that it was ,and il
there is any more credit due one per-
son than another it is to the directors
and especially to Miss Vognild. The
Dramatic club may deem itself fortu-
nate in being able to enlist the SER
vices Of these directors.
The second presentation by the club
will be made on June 10, 1918, and
while the play for this date has not
yet been decided upon, it will be Of
a popular nature. r~Ea..... y-se.e~s.- ss
Prof. Andrews has announced that
the total receipts Of the play have
reached total OF 1868, of which about
$500 will be needed for expenses. The
remainder of this sum will be used in
buying stage equipment and in other-
wise furthering dramatics in the Nor
NAL school.

HEARING Of Anta.

audible to human ears, but there are
those who controvert, this opinion.

periments with four species Of Ameri-
can ants, from which he Ideduced the
conclusion that these species, at least,
were able to perceive sounds, but
whether they did II by means Of or
gans Of hearing, or through the sense
Of touch being excited by atmospheric
vibrations, he was unable to ascertain
This experimenter inclines to the opin-
ion that ants do really hear, as some
individuals showed perception Of the
direction Of the sound, such as that OF
shrill whistle, and others, which
were not disturbed and violently
shaken in their glass prisons seemed
greatly to be perturbed by shrill
