Sup't. Schools
Recommends
Many Changes

Many contemplated changes and a
number Of Improvements that would
do much to benefit Mexico schools are
recommended in a letter that Supt.
L. B. Hawthorne has addressed to the
School Board for their consideration
Prominent among these recommen-
dations is the suggestion that addi-
tions and improvements be made in
all the school buildings. Supt. Haw-
thorne suggests that the entire third
floor Of Central School be removed
and six room addition on level
with the entrance floor be erected.
Basket bali courts and modern toilet
facilities should be built into this new
addition.
South Side School should be provid-
ed with play room of sufficient size
to care for the physical education
asked for. #
Garfield School, he says, needs a
large play room that could also be
used as an assembly place for the
negroes
An addition to the High School win
be the only solution Of present troub-
les there, he believes. A new building
in the form Of an L or wing with GYM
nasipm and modern shower facilities
and class rooms would remedy the
acute shortage Of class room space
there.
Other recommendations include:
summer kindergarten additional grade
school teachers, High School Librar-
ian, physical director and more teach
ing by means Of pictures. !.
He recommends that higher stand
ards, Of employing teachers be adopted
and that general salaries be ten per
cent higher than at the present time.

MISS RUTH NOAH
IS MADE QUEEN At
HARDIN MAY FETE

Miss Ruth Noah of Topeka, Kansas,
was crowned May Queen at the Har-
din College Spring Pageant Tuesday
evening. She was elected by popular
vote of all Hardin students, the high
est vote electing Queen and the next
three choosing her attendants, who
were Misses Anne Callison of Clar-
ence, Mo-, Helen Heizer of Mexico and
Allie Burton Parrish of Jonesbur,
Ark.
In the fairy story the King of the
forest arrives at his throne to find it
occupied by fair usurper, but he is
SO pleased that he asks her to remain.
Miss Gladys Blackburn, who was the
king, sang beautifully to the Queen
and her attendants inviting her to
stay.
The happy subjects asked pernis-
sion to dance and the fairies that ap-
peared performed their parts with
grace and ease. The large audience
was delighted with the dainty dancers
and all their parts were cleyerly per-
formed indeed. Costumes strikingly
appropriate for the OCCASION lent color
to the scene that was enhanced by
the beautiful weather and all combin-
ed to make the pageant complete
success.
The directors, Misses Boutwell, and
Rutter, deserve particular credit for
the skillful planning of the parts and
the choosing of the characters: and
Miss Martha Pitcher conducted the
orchestra splendidly.
