HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS
FED BUNCH Of SIXTY
OF SALEM ElKS HERD
Domestic Science Class Pre-
pared Banquet for Best
I People On Earth"

The domestic science class of the high
school was given an opportunity to note
how an Elk eats when the eating Is good
as last evening about 60 members of the
local Elk lodge were Entertained by the
class in the domestic science rooms of
the high school.
Judging by the eagerness with which
the aAtlered herd went after the fri
casseed chicken and clam chow der and
the war bread and jelly and cookies and
ice cream and other good things, there
should be no doubt in the minds of the
girls who prepared the banquet nor in
1.-THE minds of the teachers and schocl
board as to whether the girls were good
cooks lhey certainly were and the boys
were eentainly glad they were there
Certainly they were.
And just to encourage them during
the serving Of the banquet there was
music an1 reeitations. But the Elks
! needed no encouragement to do justice

Superintendent John W. Todd said
he was glad of the chance to give such
representative citizens an opportunity
to know by experience what fine co.ks
the domestic science department we're
turning out. And incidentally he hoped
that the boys would be good friends for
this department should they happen to
want little better equipment. In the
cewIng department, he said that the
girls were not only making part of their
Cwn clothes, but sewing garments to be
given to the Social Service Center. The
cooking department he said was self
supporting as it served about so meals
day to high school students.
About tins time Hal Patton injected
activity IN The proceedings by leading in
the .kesring for the domestic science
girls, the teachers and the superintcnd'
enr. Then Louis Lachmund, whose hat
il il the RUG, sait a lot of nice things
J about the schools and eomplimented the
girls for the bounteous repast of which
he had pArtaken Alderman Frank Ward
t was called on for a speech but the pre-
!, senee of so many young ladies rather
. frustrated him and all he could do was
to stand up and say: 81 thank you"

Exalted Ruler Harry Wenderoth re-
fused to talk until all the young ladies
in the class were gathered about Then
> he told them the easiest way to man :
heart was through his stomach, and
gave them other fatherly advice, besides
eomplimenting them for their efforts
in entertaining the Best People on
Earth.
Frank Durbin said he went to school
40 years ago on the spot now occupied
i, by the high school. "In those days
! there wasn' any base ball or tennis anc
such. Our amusements were marbles
tops and fighting" said Mr.. Durbln
H. also expressed the hope that some
time the Elks might entertain the yoms
u ladies of the domestic science class.
