PUBLIC RECEPTION FOR
CITY SCHOOL TEACHERS

Members of the Current News Club
will entertain the teachers of the public
schools at a reception at the High School
Auditorium next Friday evening, No
vember 10. A committee composed of
Mrs. c.. G. Rein, Mrs. G. F. Reineke,
Mrs. Emil Metzinger, Mrs. James
Dougher, and Mrs. Henry Held has
completed the arrangements for the
affair, which promises to be a great
success.
Members of the club and senior class
members will be in the receiving line and
a program of musical numbers will be
given. The general public is cordially
invited to be present. It is hoped that
parents, especially, will come and get
acquainted with the new teachers.
The club members feel that it is but
fitting that the teachers of the city should
know the people of the city better and
that they will feel more at home after
they have met, in social way, the
parents and other citizens.
