seventy eight teachers in the county
no one failed to enroll at the institute
The dinner served Friday noon at
the high school by the girls of the
Hypatia Club was a decided success.
The dinner was daintily served and
the girls netteda neat little sum which
we understand will be used to pur-
chase needed equipment for the school.
Tie pupils of the Curry school as
sisted by their teacher, Miss Margaret
Hardie, entertained the pupils of the

enjoyable time.
The program, basket social and
