Liberal High School organized a
Glee Club for the occasion and their
many selections added much to the
enjoyment of every session, Prof

among which were talk by W. II.
Feather, Director Of the Liberal
School Board, and a paper prepared
by the various members of the Wom-

education, Grandma Lane, who de
serves honorary membership in each

teacher expects from all Boards, Pa

food for serious business and moral

The first OF Miss Lena Wrlght's
amusing readings came during this

their appreciation OF her talent by
calling her every succeeding session.
The prominent features Of the sec
ond session were an address by Hon.
A. G. Parsons Of Oklahoma City, on
Optimism in School Affairs" and one
