the suffering that our forefathers
endured that We might inherit this

Now let every American be loyal

II G. A Notes

The rooms at F. G. A. headquart-
ers have been reopened and thus far,
the winter sports have been the
popular amusements for members of
the club and their friends. Pool and
billiard tables, reading room, basket
ball, bath rooms, ETC., are at the dis
position of young men who wish to
spend an evening inside.
Basket ball will undoubtedly be
the favorite sport this year as it has
been in the past seasons. The first
game is scheduled for Thanksgiving
Day at three o'clock in the after
noon. Norwich University will have
its strong team here to meet the To-
cal boys and an interesting game is
expected. The excitement will help
you after your Thanksgiving din
ner and all are invited to be pres
ent. Other strong teams are al
ready scheduled to appea" in st.
Johnsbury this season, and intensely
interesting games are to be played.

Sister Superior Transferred

Sister John of Calvary, who has
been the Superior at the st. Johns
bury Hospital was called to Sher-
brooke Thursday by the illness of
her mother. She was accompanied by
Sister Faustinien. Sister Superior's
time of service here is up and prob
ably she will not return to resume
her duties here which she has per-
formed so faithfully and well. She
will be greatly missed not only at
the hospital, but also by the many
friends who have learned to love
her. AS soon as she can leave home
Sister will go to Montreal for an
appointment to another field. A
new superior will probably re-
turn with Sister Faustinien. At
present Sister Laurentin, who with
Sister Chiasson, recently returned
from a two weeks retreat at the
mother home in Montreal, is acting
Superior.
