Jones-Totah

On Monday evening, March ,16, 1914,
Miss Ermina L. Jones announced her
engagement to Khalil A. Totah, to
few of her most intimate friends at
Mount Holyoke College. The an
nouncement was made in an extreme
" original fashion and was a great
surprise to most of the guests. Those
present played a guessing game called
"Shakesperean Romance" In this
game certain questions were asked, the
answers to which were names of
Shakesperean plays.
The first question was: What Were
the Lovers Names?" The answer be-
ing Romeo and Juliet supposedly.
There were 16 questions of this va
riety. Miss Adelaide B. Fairbanks 1915,
on guessing IA correctly won the prize
which was an invitation Phi Beta
Kappa Gey. But the surprise of the
evening followed when Miss Amelia
Rockwell, Miss Jones' roommate, told
the guests that they had given the
wrong answer to the first question.
Naturally, the obvious question fol-
lowed What were the lovers names?"
and this was answered by every one of
the guests being presented with
white carnation to which were tied
with white ribbon the cards Of Miss
Jones and Mr.. Totah. The guests
signified their good wishes by singing
Engaged" a song from the Senior
show given by the class of 1914 this

We're then served, thus bringing to an
end a very successful and enjoyable
party.
The color scheme of the evening was
green and yellow, the colors Of the
odd classes at Mount Holyoke. This
scheme was carried out in the refresh
ments, in the artistic "Shakespearean
Romance" programs designed and
painted by Miss Rockwell, and acct
dentally, in the dresses of most Of
the party. The guest of honor was
Mrs. w. Gordon Armstrong Of Wor-

Report Of Supt. Of Schools
For the Winter Term
Total Attendance Average SO
Percent Hardness Frequent.
PupiIsWhoWere In Strict Attendance
During the Entire Term

The winter term of school just clos
ed has been very gratifying in point
of attendance. Eighty-nine per cent.
of the total enrolment have been reg
ular in attendance. The number of
cases of hardness was larger than
during the fall term. The schools
were visited by 154 parents during the
term. We have had very little sick
ness in our schools this winter, and we
trust that continued care in ventila-
ton of the school rooms will prevent
the development Of colds and other
ailments during the coming term. Pa
rents should be careful to have the
children's sleeping rooms properly
ventilated both day and night.
During the spring term special tests
will be given in all schools in order
to determine the efficiency of our
schools. 1t is our purpose to know
just how we stand as compared with
other schools, and in preparing our
boys and girls for life We desire to
have the school as closely connected
with the home as possible and we
stand ready to cooperate with the
home to the end that the efficiency OF
our schools may be increased.
The High school will open for the
spring term of II weeks Monday, April

an extraordinary psychological study

named Salvador E. Cato. who blindly
followed Saitta's dictation.
So convincing was the story Cato
told of his career as Saitta's slave that
after the jury had rendered its YER
diet, Judge Swami said:
Cato palpably had become an au-
tomaton under the influence of a mas
ter mind. Unquestionably he had felt
the irresistible compulsion to perform
whatever act he was hidden to per-
form. The case developed an instance
in real life of one person being
'Svengnlied by the influence of a SUI
