They left everything they had planted in the gardens, 50 all we do is to go out and help ourselves. There are plenty of cabbages, potatoes and turnips, so we have a good feed once in a while. We have room that was a German office There are six Of us in it-BilI Wicks, Ed Monahan. myself and four fellows from Stam- ford.

noted by the senior class and by the
immediate efforts Of Miss Alice Lor-

J. M. Trip and w. e. Kinney were
the ~auctioneers. The auction and
dance was held In the gymnasium,
and the supper was served in the do
nestle science department of the
training school. Those attending
say that the event was a great sue
cess from a social view.
This afternoon Treasurer M. Ber-
Their announced that the results were
even better than those reported above
and will amount to just over $500 for
the sale and 500 or more for the
dance and supper. He said that
there was too much of the supper,
and that the evening was so full of
program that it delayed the dance
until SO late an hour that many were
compelled to go home before it had
begun.
