BY SPEC1AL REPORIER.
Thursday morning of last week
two classes were formed, and each
chose a song leader and a yell lead
er. Alma Parker was song leader,
with Lottie Cuevas as yell leader for
one class, and for the other Mabel
Smith was song leader with Clara
Kergosien as yell leader.
Miss Cirlot and Miss Maxwell in
structed in cooking, making mullins
with cooked cereals, Knocked scram-
bled brains, meat substitute in the
form of bean loaf and various at
tractive ways of serving cottage
cheese. The instructions alos includ-
ed the making of a homemade fire
less cooker.
During recreation periods the
leaders of the two classes sang club
songs and yells. Miss Cirlot is Al
teacher when it comes to club yells
and Miss Maxwell was tireless in her
efforts to help the rival class out
sing and out-yell the other, despite a
severe cold Pm sure we all feel
like real college girls when it comes
to yells.
A TRIP AND VISIT TO MR.. J. N.
W1SNER'S PLACE.
At 3 o'cock we had pleasant ride
through the kindnesses of Mrs. Four
nier, Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Schneider,
Mr.. and Mrs. French and Miss Cir
lot, and in the five cars we rode
around town, then to Mr.. J. N. Wis
ner's to see his model farm. There
were SO man interesting things to see
and remember, and if everything were
to be written down it would very
nealy fill book. Mr.. Wisner said:
"Girls, year and a half ago this
field was all pine woods, and now look
at it-as nice potato field as you'd
find anywhere. After | had the
wood cut and the stumps pulled, had
it fertilized and planted velvet beans,
which were plowed under and lined.
These potatoes were planted on Good
Friday, and just look how big they
are! After they come out I'll plant
Mexican early June corn, and after
that's out I'll plant cabbages. Then
if it's not too late, I'll plant crimson
clover. That's four crops on the
same land in one year."
Well, we just stared in admiration.
we couldn't seem to find the proper
words to say, but we surely were
impressed. And grapes! Also black
berries!! The vines were loaded with
fruit. And besides that he has
small turtle farm. Oh, you turtle
soup!
The poultry section is right up
to date, too. And such barn Mr..
Wisner took us up stairs and show
ed the servants rooms. We decided
right on the spot that we wanted to
be Mrs. Wisner's cook. Then he
took US into his little palace and en-
tertained us with music and he "rat-
tied his bones" After that we de-
parted with many sighs of regret.
But we had such nice ride. We
enjoyed it immensely. Mrs. .7our-
nier soon out-distanced the other
cars and took us to see the big Cen
tral America turtles down at the
Peerless plant. We never did see
such big turtles.
After supper we were given sur
prise treat to the picture show, much
to every ones delight.
Thus ended the first day.
SECOND DAY.
Coca-doodle, coca-doodle, coca
doodle, do!
Poultry Club! Poultry Club!
Shoe! Shoe! Shoe!
After having a good nights rest
we got up cary and prepared for
our breakfast Much was eaten
heartily. We assembled in the des-
onstration kitchen and prepared for
a good lecture on poultry. Here Miss
Cirlot heard a general report from
each member Of the Poultry Club.
These reports were very good and
we are sure instructive and benefi-
cial to all who were present. At the
rest period the girls practiced their
yells and songs that were used to
readily and audibly during the three
day course.
Who puts the shrimp in a can,

By this time dinner was served and

her very best and gave us dinner

time she went "over the top" (of the
pot). Some of US most went with
her. After the meals we have eaten

After dinner we took a few more
notes and then prepared ourselves
to take a walk down to the turtle
cannery. Here we stayed and a few
of us enjofed ourselves to our hearts
