High School Entertainment
The visitors in Ocala this week at
tending the state board meeting spent
a most enjoyable morning Thursday
at the high school, when a musical
program was given by the pupils un-
der Miss Marguerite Porter, the
Ocala public school music director.
Miss Porter first introduced Mrs.
Edgar Lewis, the state president, who
made few remarks, which was fol-
lowed by a short talk by Mrs. Will
lam Hooker. Miss Porter then pre-
sented the visitors pretty programs,
decorated with the club flower, red
poinsettias, the cover of the souvenir
bearing the quotation, "The public
school should lay the foundation of
morals, and music is clearly recog-
nized as one of the moral forces by
all students Of sociology"
Misses Miriam Connor, Cevie
Roberts and Dorothy Klock composed
the orchestra, and Misses Pearl Faus-
EFT, Anna Belle Wesson and Messrs.
Harold Klock and Robert Blake made
up the quartet.
After the following program, Mrs.
Lewis prettily thanked the pupils for
their interesting entertainment, and
also complimented Miss Porter (as
did Mrs. Hocker) very highly on the
splendid work she has accomplished.

colors of wool, and in the center is an
American Flag. 1t is really work
of art, and was made of leftover
pieces of wool, not large enough for
any other purpose. With it came
pretty cretonne bag and they both
will be sent to the Red Cross head

The blanket was made for SOL.
dier's hospital cot and the bag can
be hung on the cot, for the wounded
want personal belongings.
The Ocala ladies are going to fol-
low the clever Citra ladies lead and
make some of these. Anyone having
any leftover pieces of wool not large
enough for any other use, no matter
what color, may take them to the
Book Shop and leave them in care of
the hospital garment committee.
The wool in turn will be taken to Mrs.
j. H. Livingston who has offered to
knit these squares of which the quilt
is made. Ladies who will do the knit
ting themselves are asked to make
the pieces 7x7 and leave the squares
separate at the Book Shop.
