Mrs Winona Evans Reeves Addresses
Pupils of High School Psychology
Glasses on Subject Of
Imagination.

Mrs. Winona Evans Reeves spoke
to the psychology class at the high
school this afternoon in observance
of Greater Iowa day. The class has
recently been studying the imagina-
ton and Mrs. Reeves told the pupils
about Iowa persons whose magma
tons had helped to make them
famous.
/ Iowans who have achieved great
ness along creative lines in music,
art and literature were discussed by
Mrs Reeves.
She chose as her subject, Another
Harvest" and she told the class in
teresting little stories of Francis
Perry Elliot, Rupert Hughes, Nellie
Walker and many others. She spoke
of these literary and artistic harvests
rather than material ones for which
Iowa is famous.
