THE APOLLO CLUB

Last Monday evening the Apollo club
met at the home Of Elsie Chase. ssThe
walk both ways was delightful as we'll
as healthful. We were met before
reaching the door by the hostess, who
ushered us into room where we laid
aside our wraps. Next, we entered the
reception room where the Latin play
was read by Mr.. Metcalf, causing
much enjoyment and interest. Then
the hostess announced that refresh
ments were awaiting US and certainly
no time was lost at the table for it did
seem good to get some sugar on snow.
doughnuts, and pickles. A walk is
good for an appetite, everyone knows.
After we had all been plentifully sup
piled, we entered the reception room
again and for short time filled the
room with an atmosphere of B. A.
spirit. This ended the program for the
evening. After thanking the hostess
for our evenings enjoyment we made
our farewells and started home. The
thought of returning to Barton "loomed
up" within us so much, however, that it
did not seem long before we had COW
cred the three miles of railroad ties,
and arrived home.

Reception for MIR. and Mrs. Rowen.

Mr.. and Mrs. J. Y. Rowen were ten
dered a farewell reception by the
townspeople on Wednesday evening at
Hotel Barton, it being the occasion of
Mr. and Mrs Rowen leaving next day
for their new home at Barre, where
Mr.. Rowen has the management of the
new hotel erected there during the
past year and now near completion.
More than 100 people attended and Mr..
and Mrs. Rowen received the good
wishes of every one, while they all ex-
pressed their sincere regret to have
these people leave Barton. Mr.. and
Mrs. Rowen received in the parlors of
the hotel, Miss Seaver, Miss Hamblet,
Mrs. Stannard and Mrs. Barrows act
ing as ushers A musical program
was given in the lobby of the hotel.
where the Schubert orchestra rendered
several selections and local talent gave
several solos and quartettes. In the
dining room refreshments were served
and later dancing was indulged in by
many of the guests. Mr.. and Mrs
Rowen have been popular young people
here and Mr. Rowen has always been
one of the more enterprising of our
townsmen While everyone regrets to
see these people leave Barton, at the
same time we all wish them every sue
cess in their new venture.

OUR FIRST GYM WALK.

Yesterday the girls of the first divi-
sion of gymnastics took a walk around
the Square. AS you know it has been
Travelled so much during the past years
that last fall it became necessary for
the town to build cement walk for
quite distance on both Park street
and Glover street.
We walked rather slow so as to take
in large amount of fresh air and see
all the beautiful sights peculiar to ma
ture, paying special attention to the
nearby hills as prospects for a future
hike.
Plans are now being made for a
walk in the woods at later date. We
all think it will be most enjoyable es-
pecially if the flowers are in full
bloom.
Before reaching the corner, we went
down near the river and did the
"Chimes of Dunkirk," which seemed
to interest people passing quite as
much as it did US. Some other stunts
were performed, then we took to the
sidewalk for a further hike.
We all took special pains to tell each
other all about our days trouble ane
arrived back at school five minutes Of
four in very good spirits and with /;
great deal of superfuous energy.

and decided upon new scheme which
seems to work out we'll The junior
editor has charge of the events that
occur on Monday, the sophomore editor
of those on Tuesday, the freshman edi-
tor of those on Wednesday,, the train
ing class editor of those on Thursday,
and the editor-in-chief of those on Fri
day. This gives each one some respon-
sibility aside from the class notes.
Furthermore this plan lifts the care
from the rest of the editors on the days

him. On Friday the editors who have
had charge of the work for the preced.
ing days, hand their notes to the
editor-in-chief, who then sees that
