serene During her life in Belfast she
made many friends, whose love and es-

Belfast High School Student
Council.

1t our education is to fulfill it's mission
1t must develop leadership. With this fact
In view, a Student Council has been or
ganlzed IN the High school which aims to
give its members this necessary training
The worth of person is measured by his
responsibility and his growth is dependent
upon the exercise of this duty.
Cooperation is the keynote to success
in school as well as in other matters
where large numbers are concerned. The
teachers have felt need of greater unity
OF spirit among classes and individuals in
the school as well as better organization
for the promotion of activities. The sug-
gestion of a Council by Principal Harry
A. Foster met with the enthusiastic ap-
proval of the student body, A constitu-
ton was drawn UP and officers elected as
follows: Austin Vaughan, President; Hope
Dorman, Vice President; Louise Clark,
Secretary; Edward Martin, Treasurer.
AS this organization groups all depart
ment activities under one head, good
things are anticipated. The committees
are at work and are learning things which
will be of great value to them IN time to
come

operation for the past four weeks makes

Very truly yours,
MISS MARGARET A. HARBUTT,

Miss Margaret A. Harbutt, sister of
the Rev r. G. Harbutt, who recently
came from henwood to live in Santa
Rosa, died here at the home of her broth
er Dec 18th. Miss Harbutt was II years
of age. She had been i'll for several
weeks, and it was known that her condi-
ton was critical. She had been a semi
invalid for many months and death re-
leased her from her suffering. Miss Har-
butt is survived by two brothers, the
Rev. R. II. Harbutt Of this city and
the Rev Charles Harputt of Portland,

when her health permitted she assisted

flights of fancy, was accurately describ-
ed. After learning all she could of him
on shipboard she was given letter of
introduction from mutual friend and
received a cordial reception from this
wonderful man.
The sketch read is a very carefully
blended whole of the noted authors well
known characters and her own personal
Impressions Extracts would not give an
adequate idea of the sketch and even a
verbatim report would lack the charm
ing personality added to it by the fascin-
ating manner in which the author read it.
Hopes are entertained of hearing her on
other subjects.
