The past week closes the first sum-
mer term of school at Fot Lewis
| The attendance has been fair and as
lareg as could be expecter. 1t has
| been good, considering the fact that
| it is very difficult for many to spare
the boys and girls from the farm at
this time of year. School in the sum
mer at Fort Lewis is proving to have
many advantages over the winter ses-
| sion. Not only are the disadvantages
Of being shut in by the heavy snow
removed, but we have the season
| working with us instead of against
u.s. 1t is possible to put in practice
| in the fields that which is studied
in the books, this giving the student
actual experience as well as a chance
to pay expenses, at least in part.
| During the term just closed, students
have earned from So to $26 per month
and have in many cases more than
| pelu SNpeIScSi tllC IiiiiS
doing school work at least on par
with that of the average high school
| student.
The second term of school will open
July 10th, and continue till Septem-
ber 30. Any who can arrange to take
the work in Agriculture or Teachers
Training for all or part of the term
should register as soon as possible.
The expenses are low and the equip
ment is good.
The new cement walks have been
completed from the school house to
re office. From now on the work
will be somewhat slower on account
of the filling necessary. A cement
roller is being made for use on the
tennis courts.
The appearance of the campus has
been much improved by the removal
of most of the old board walks, and
much of the stone which was brought
to the surface in laying pipe lines
this spring.
Last Wednesday being the wedding
anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Snyder
a surprise party was given in their
honor that night by the campus club
Since Mr.. and Mrs. Snyder both claim
to have been completely surprised, 1t
was grand success. Most of the
evening was spent in remarrying the
bride and groom, which was done
in the most approved way. The re-
porter not being of the society varie-
ty, could not do justice to the brides
costume, but it should be sufficient
to say that she was as bewitching
and youthful as any society reporter
ever made June bride. The lace
curtain veil and beautiful boquet of
artificial sunflowers added much to
the effectiveness of the scene. Fol-
lowing touching rendition of "Do
you take this woman for your lawful
wife?" by Mr.. Klinefelter, the we'd
ding march was played by Mrs. f.
ID. Smith and the bride entered on
the arm of Mr.. S. S. Portner. The
groom clad in the conventional black,
seemed to be somewhat nervous, and
fumbled rather badly with the ring.
When asked who gave the bride away
Mr.. Portner said he could, all right,
but guessed he wouldn't this time.
Following the ceremony refreshments
were served and some time was
spent in singing old time songs, aft
err which the self invited guests de-
parted, all reporting an especially en-
joyable evening, with the possible ex-
ception of the defenseless host and
hostess.
At the meeting of the Literary
Society Saturday night, the following
officers were elected for the coming
term. President, Paul Snyder; Vice
President Laughlin McNamee, Sec
retary, Ester Anderson, Treasurer,
+. H. Bader; Sargaent at Arms, J.
| T. Copeland, Critic. G. F. Snyder.
After taking the oath of office the
new officers took charge, and shcrt
musical program was rendered.
Sunday evening program, in
charge of the Student Body organi
zation was given at the school house.
1t cosisted of readings by P. Snyder
musical numbers by Mrs. E. d. Smith
and Miss Wilson and an illustrated
talk by Mr.. Snyder. The Victrola
was also used during the evening.
