 That the teachers believe in mer
 ry making as well as anyone else
 after school hours is shown in the
 fact that they had a party at the Zynda hotel Friday, October 3. and
 thoroughly enjoyed themselves with music and dancing, although there
 were mo men allowed' The Misses
 Pope, Burke, Kelso and Nelson were
 the hostesses. In all there were 16 present, including Misses Park. UDe-
 land, Rau, Pope, Nelson, Saxton, Moss Burke, Fecht, Case, Kelso, Scott and Hellenthal, the Misses Nixon, Mrs Lang and Mrs. Peter.
 There are now seven pupils in the [ Normal class. Two members have already had a try at conducting a
 class in reading and although kind Of
 scared a first thought it was fun before they were through That great in terest is taken in their work is shown
 by the fact that Mrs. Lang after the
 pupils have gone wishes to use a book. There are none to be found the girls all take them home. Psychol- ogy is the most difficult subject thai they have.
 The teachers have been practising basketball in the evening, and as
 many as If have turned out for prac- tice.
 This week is the end of the first six weeks of school and all pupils are busy taking tests. The report cards will be out next week '. The girls basketball team has been more enthused over their basketball Since they heard that the teachers are practising and intend to chal- ,enge them as soon as the regular
 .eam has been organized. The new Spanish books, which the | first year Spanish classes have been waiting for, have arrived. This is a new edition and the pupils take more interest in their Spanish as they find new books much more in teresting.
 The girls have taken up indoor baseball in their gymnasium work. They say it is real fun to swing a bat and hit the ball but still more fun to make a home run This game is practically the same as outdoor baseball except that the ball is diff ferent and is tossed instead of pitched

 In the past few weeks parents have 1 been sending children to visit in school with the idea that this will
 make them used to the ways of school and will not be afraid to go when they are old enough or else just because "mother must go call ing and can't take Johnnie along ' This really does not help the child any as he must only sit and listen to things that he knows nothing about. When it is his time to go he will be just as eager as now, if not more. Having these children visit ing is only disturbance to the pu pils as it keeps their attention off of their studies.
