One of the large basement rooms
of the high school building has been
hoored, calsomined and painted, and
transformed into an attractive and
spacious kitchen. The sewing room
has also been remodeled and now the
department has better rooms, which
means better results in the class work.
The financing of the work was
through the funds raised on the oc-
casion of the dinner given in Deem
Der. Much of the work was done by
the girls themselves, and they are all
in still further improving
their department.
1t will be an encouragement to the
students and an incentive to better
work if the patrons will visit these
home economics classes while their
work is in progress. On the other
hand, you will be interested in see
ing the class in their laboratory, and
observing the nature of the work be-
ing done in the school which you sup
port.
Thursday the whole high school was
cast into gloom by the. death of one
of the most esteemed students of the
institution, Elyzee Ayme, who had
been i'll for about a month with ty.
phoid fever. Elyzee was one of the
brightest members of the junior class
and was always prominent in school
activities. His high and noble char
acter endeared him to all who knew
him. This was evidenced by the en-
tire school attending his funeral in a
body.
