WHEN DICKENS ATE 'P0ssUM
English Author and Washington Irving
Dined With Webster in tho
National Capital.

II have, sir, just purchased in the
market famous opossum"-sO wrote
Webster to Irving and the latter's
guest, Dickens, in March, 1842-"and
have sent it home to Monica, my
cook, who will stuff it with chestnuts
and bake it with sweet potatoes in
true Virginia style. 1t will be, sir, a
dish fit for the gods. Come, with your
friend, and partake."
Dickens and Irving did partake in
Webster's house, on Connecticut ave-
nue., Washington, and Dickens did not
relish the 'possum as much as he
relislled Webster's company. III a
paper on literary aspects of the capt.
tai in the Catholic World Margaret b.
Downing recalls another British WIS.,
itor's introduction to new dainty i'll
Washington. Thackeray, in 1851. ate
his first ice cream with Irving at the
home IF Hamilton Fish, on H street.
Not many people realize that Irving
lived for nearly five years in Wash
ington. OF course, every one knows
that George Bancroft long lived there,
and that Whitman and Burroughs
were in the civil service during the
same Civil war years. Probably most
people know also that Mrs. Stowe
resided in Washington while "Uncle
Toms Cabin" was appearing in the
National Era. Charles Warren Stod-
durd, the author of the "SOuth Sea
ldylls," also lived in Washington for
time. But no city really has title
to an author until lie not only lives
in 1t, but writes about it. The author
of this paper olnits all mention of
Henry Adams and the most notable
novel of Washington life. "Dem0c-
racy."-New York Evening Post.

HAVE PARTY

The members of the faculty Of the
High School gymnasium last night
public schools held party at the
and from all reports it was some
party. 1t was a "kids" party, the
guests dressing as children and the
costumes were scream. The eve
ming opened by having school. Pro
fcssor Hanna acted as schoolmastel
and handled the job as though he hae
had experience in the role, although
some of the faculty state that his
brand Of discipline in their classrooms
would cost them their positions. How
ever, some allowance must be made
for the fact that the professors stu
dents had just arrived at the frivolous
age and were consequently hard tc
handle. At the close of school closing
exercises were had and Christmas
program given which was enjoyed by
all the kids. Presents were distribut.
ed from the Christmas tree, each kid
receiving some remembrance in add.
ton to sack of candy and nuts. Aft
er the presentation Of gifts from the
tree the children were sent home, con-
tentedly munching candy and making
plans for the coming vacation. They
had a real time.

10. Miss Josephine Nelson, of the 5.

Miss Deem in her entertaining
manner compared the styles OF for

her talk on Dress. Both the artistic
and hygienic features of dress were
dwelt upon, to the merriment as we'll
as instruction of her audience.
Mrs. o. Simenson in her talk on
Club Work for Boys and Girls, tried
to make US appreciate how much the
national government has done for the
young people since the passage Of the
Smith-Lever bill in ia. This bill pro-
vided for the giving of practical in
formation on subjects relating to agri-
culture and home economics, the work
to be under the direction of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture. The APP
preparation is distributed among the
different states, in the proportion that
the rural population in each state
bears to the total rural population of
the U. S.. The appropriation fbr
1921 was $4,080,O00.

TWENTY. THREE TO
RECEIVE DIPLOMAS

There are twenty three candidates
for graduation from the State Teach
ers College on next Thursday fore
noon during the time of the informal
commencement exercises. Of these
twenty-three, fifteen are completing
the work of the Junior College which
entities them to be considered gradu-
ates of the Standard curriculum rep
resenting two years beyond gradua-
ton from a first class high school.
Eight students are completing. what is
known as the elementary curriculum
or its-equivalent which represents one
year of work beyond that of four
year high school. One student is COM
pleting the work of the preparatory
curriculum which is the equivalent Of
high school graduation. No diploma
is granted at the completion Of this
curriculum but second grade ele-
mentary certificate is given and it is
valid for two years.
The graduation exercises next
Thursday during the chapel period
will be somewhat informal in their
character. The fall quarter will
close at their conclusion.

BAND PLAYS FIRST
CONCERT OF YEAR

The students and faculty Of the
State Teachers College were delight
fully surprised Tuesday, December
20, when the College Band made its
initial appearance that day during
chapel exercises in the auditorium.
A short concert of four numbers was
rendered in manner that reflects
considerable credit upon the conductor
and instructor in band instruments:
Mr.. L. +. Wright. There are now
thirty-four members of this organl-
zation all of whom will continue with
their studies the remainder of the
year. Fully three-fourths of the num-
Der have had no experience in playing
in band. When one considers the
quality of playing with but six weeks
o factual rehearsals, the performance
was all the more gratifying to all who
heard Mr.. Wright's band play in the
way it did, We understand that dur
ing the winter quarter the members
will be increased.
The State Teachers College bought
several hundred dollars worth of
standard instruments some months
ago, instruments which had been made
for the U. s. government for use dur
ing the war. These were bought at a
big reduction and are entirely new.
A good band is valuable asset to
any educational institution. We con.
fidently expect to hear some very good
music from the State Teachers Col
lege band before the year closes.

VIC. H. S. DEFEATS
SANB0RN HIGH

In game featured with clever
passing and pivoting work, the local
high school team romped away with
the long end Of a 81 to IA score in
game with the fast Sanborn quint
last evening on the local high school
floor. For the first five minutes of
play the game was sWaylng from one
side to the other. Both teams seemed
unable to keep the ball but in few
minutes the old form of the locals
came upon them and they seemed to
be getting the ball under control. The
Sanborn team however were also
rounding into shape about this time
and in a few minutes they slipped IN
the first basket of the game. The To-
Gals could not see through this and
Wertin followed in a few minutes
with a field basket tieing the score.
From this on the visitors were unable
to hold the locals who later tore
loose for several more baskets.
Holmes was working first rate and
with Wertin as his running mate
they piled up nice score the first
half. which ended 13 to with the To-
calls holding the long end:
Both teams came back strong the
second half but the visitors were out
classed in every stage Of the game.
With clever passing and pivot work
the locals held the ball in their pos
session the greater part OF the game
Those who witnessed the game last
evening say the locals have as nice
a combination as can be found around
the state this year. Dope has it that
there will be an unusual large num-
her of fast teams in the state this
wear but local fans are confident that
with Wertin and Ford holding down
the forward positions, Mulhair and
Busdicker the guards and Holmes at
center, a better combination will be
hard to find. Wertin and Holmes are
clever with the dribble while Bus
dicker and Ford can be relied upon to
send the ball through the net on long
shots. Mulhair plays a good game at
standing guard letting few men go
through the baskets.
From the start of the second half
until the final whistle the local five
were gradually rounding back into
their old form and before the final
whistle blew they had piled up 81

Preceding the Sanborn game, the Sec
ond team Of the high school met the
fast Grand Prairie team which has a
reputation of being one of the fastest
second class teams around the coun-
try. This reputation was upheld by
the visitors last evening when they de-
feated the second team of the high
school by score of 26 to II. This
game was very interesting game as
the teams were very evenly matched,
Edward Burchill of the Grand Prairie
five played a stellar game piling up
a large number of the points for his
team during the last half.
Another main feature of the games
last night that should not be over
looked was the fact that the Senior
boys put on game of their own be-
tween halves to keep the fans enter
tanned which is very good idea.
