 Grand Canyon. There were some six or eight in the party, and they spent the day looking at the greatest natu- ral wonder in the world. They went by auto, and report a splendid time.
 Last week, MT. Lathrop took his classes over to the Arizona Lumber & Timber Company mill to see the operations fthe big plant. They were given guide and were shown through the various departments of the mill, and were told much about the business of numbering. On Sat urday the classes of Geography and Commercial Geography, under the supervision of Mir. and Mrs. Lathrop, went to the company's lumber camp. They left early in the morning on the logging train and spent the day at the camp seeing the rough operations of cutting and loading the logs to be sawed into lumber. Then at noon they were treated to real camp dinner. The Normal school appreciates very much the kindness of the men at the mills, and thoroughly enjoys these in- structive trips.
 Last Wednesday evening the Lite rati had a splendid program. A few numbers were rendered and then there was a surprise. Mir. Adams, the Science teacher, demonstrated a new picture machine, recently purchased by the school A curtain was placed on the rostrum and many views were shown. This machine is very wonder ful in it's line. A common post card can be shown in its different shapes and colors, and the principles of the steam engine are magnified with won derful accuracy, in a little working model used by Mir Adams. The ma chine is to be used for demonstrating lectures and principles that are used in the courses of study in the differ ent departments of the school.

The Northern Arizona Nor nal schools team have been the champions of the state for the last five years, and CNach Honn is con fident that the same record will again be kept for this season.
 The first formal dance of the sea son will be held at the Normal school dining hall on Friday evening, Octo- Der 27th. It is to be given by the Junior class, and for the joint pur- pose of celebrating Halloween and entertaining the visiting teams from other schools. The Phoenix football team will play the Northern Arizona Normal school team on the afternoon of that date and also the Prescott High school basketball team. The affair is looked forward to with much enthusiasm by the dance lovers and many had expected to costume for the occasion, but Dr. Blome believed it best not to do so, so that the dance Twill be Halloween dance, but no one will costume. Good music will be had and splendid time is in store for those who attend.
 | For the last two weeks a number of workmen have been busy digging large pit for a new oil tank for the power plant at the Normal school. Tn the winter time it is hard to keep large supply of oil on hand, due to the deep snow, so that much larger tank is being installed that will hold reasonably large supply of oil.
 The pit will soon be finished and the tank will soon be in working order. Bury Hall has been undergoing some repairs. The roof of the front veranda had become leaky due to the heavy fall of snow of last winter, and was not very protective from storms. But now new roof is being built and is nearly ready for coat of paint. | Dr. Blome announced on Monday that study hour would begin at 2 o'clock instead of 7:30 as has been the custom heretofore.
