GIVE RECEPTION ID TEACHING STAFF IF

The reception rendered to the teaching staff of the Roosevelt school last Wednesday evening was a notable event. Under the hospit- able roof of Neighborhood house were gathered all the elements of social life of the community-the church, the school, the Neighborhood club, the Parent Teacher association, the Ladies' Aid and the Farm bureau.

 The guests were received by Mrs. Carl Roesner, president of the Neigh borhood club; by Mrs Lucius N. Butler, president of the Parent Teacher association: by Mrs. E. c. Rewick, president of the Ladies' Aid, and by E. D. Ryder. president of the Roosevelt Farm Bureau.
 The entire teaching staff was lined up along the south side of the hall. and the guests passed them in re- view. shaking each by the hand, re- newing old acquaintances and mak- ing nsw ones.
 The Rev. Mr. Stoetzel then well comed the guests of honor with words so expressive of his approval of their past service, their present appear ance and their promise for the fu- ture, that the house bore testimony to the justice of his praise by rounds of hearty and spontaneous applause.
