carnival or county fair, to raise suffic-
|, lent funds to pay for their bond. The
total. amount of the net receipts is so
| near 500 that the girls have under
| taken to make it an even 500. The
show that the girls gave was clean
fast and furious. The dormitory girls
having this work in charge were about
thirty in number and their example
of what a few can accomplish has
spurred other groups on until large
and attractive athletic program will
be given at the armory in the very
near futrue to pay what is yet due or
several other bonds.
