Lend a Hand Club
Gives a Pleasing Entertain
 ment Gymnasium

The Lend a Hand club of the Public school under the direction of the school principal, Miss Cros- no. gave a tea last Saturday af- ternoon at St. Philips Gymna- sium, which was well attended by patrons and friends of the school. Tea was served from three to five. An especially good musical pro- gram was given. Wrangell is to be congratulated upon having so much musical ability in her midst. Some of the numbers given were piano solos by Margaret North rup, Marjorie Johnson, Margaret Mccormack and Erma Grant; vocal solos by Mrs. w. w. Me Laughlin, Miss Kelly, Miss Flor ence Billion, Miss Margery Shaff- ner and Mrs. M. o. Johnson who was accompanied by her little daughter Dorothy. Miss Liberty Worden and Miss Ruth Lindman with their piano duets and Ruth Holterman and Helen Fletcher with their mandolin and piano duets added much to the after noon's pleasure.
 While every part of the pro- gram was enjoyed to the utmost, possibly nothing was a greater hit than the song, Little Orphant Annie, as sung by Beryl Cunning. ham, Gertrude Goodrich and Jean Grant. There was a strong sus- picion among the audience that the success of this number was due to the primary teacher, Miss Ann O'Connor.
 The afternoon was a success financially, almost $50 being cleared from the proceeds of the tea and candy booth. This amount will be used for the benefit of the domestic science department of the school.

Civic Improvement
 Club Elects Officers

The Civic Improvement club held the first monthly meeting of the year last Friday with Mrs. J. G. Grant. The officers for the year are: Mrs. Barnes, presi- dent; Mrs. Carlson, vice-presi- dent; Mrs. Johnson, secretary; Mrs. Bjorge, treasurer.
 In September. 1916, the club made plans to preserve the old totem poles of Wrangell but be- fore any action could be taken it was learned that a committee from the local Chamber of Com- merce was engaged in a similar enterprise. A dance was given by the ladies, however, in Octo- Der of the same year and the sum realized, $111.65, was placed in the bank subject to the call of the Chamber of Commerce com- mittee. For various reasons little was done and the money has nev. CT been used. The club has con- ferred with the totem committee recently and proposes to do what ever it can to prevent the loss of these quaint relics of former years. The Kadashan totems will be considered first, owing to their age and the fact that it is only a question of time until they must be removed from their present location.
 The next meeting of the club will be held the last Friday in February, with Mrs. Johnson.

Ladies Will Give
 A Leap Yea Dance

A large number of ladies met at the Wrangell hotel Monday evening to plan a leap year dance. While it will be a Valentine dance it was decided to give it on Fri day evening, the 18th, instead of Saturday.
 No tickets will be sold. The admission price at the door will be one dollar to ladies and this will pay for both dancing and supper. Gentlemen may leave their pocketbooks at home, but it may be we'll to come prepared with a few dimes, as the floor committee threatens to duplicate the plan tried four years ago at a similar affair, when any man crossing the floor without lady escort was fined 10 cents. Ladies are urged to attend and to help make the affair success, and the men are given a cordial invi- tation to be present.
 The following committees were appointed: Music, Miss Coulter, Miss Billion and Miss Grigwire; hall, Mrs. Cunningham; decorat- ing, Mrs. Shurick; supper, Mrs. Skelton; floor, Mrs. Case. Mrs. Shurick, Mrs. Skelton and Mrs. Case will appoint their own as- Sistants.
 Any money remaining after all expenses have been paid will be turned over to some local organi- zation.
