TEACHERS ENJOY A
PLEASANT CAMPFIRE FRY"
A Great Evening Even II Some OF
The Guests Got Lost"

The old Owl sat in the tree and
winked-Did he hOOt? No not even
one little hoot. He was too interest
ed in what was going on under
meath and round about the tree in
which he sat. His particular tree
was situated down by the river
you knOw-over where those old
rails are and where the spirit of the
campfire seems to reign supreme,
especially on such delightful
evening as the weather man present
ed us with on last Friday.
The scene which held the deep
and undivided attention of Senior
Owl was the annual stunt of the
teachers of the Holly schools and
the districts round about Tradi-
tion says that this sunt must be
FRY" of some sort. In past years
there have been vicente frys-beef-
stake ifrys and the like but this
year surpassed them all in being
right royal chickn fry.
There is rumor going around
that several of the teachers mot new
ones either got lost and couldn't
find the picnic grounds. They
say this is libel, that they weren't
lost at all They say they could
see where they ought to be but
didn't know how to get there. This

fence. Be that as it, may the eats"

and were thoroughly enjoyed by
all. Mrs. Cochran and Mss Barnes

pedagogues and their friends left
the bon fire over which the Owl
presided in pleased silence and ad-

sung. Finally, though the fire
burned so cheerily that all were
loath to leave, the lateness of the
hour put an end to the delightful
evening and the party walked home
singing, laughing and talking as
they went and enjoying the NOM
