Dear Editor:
The fifth week of the summer term
at the P. A. M. C. opened Monday with
the same pep as marked the first
week of school. The attendance is keep
ing up very we'll considering the hot
weather and the great demand for labor
in the harvest fields.
Several Of our boys have been unable
to resist the call of harvest and have
gone to help bring in the sheaves.
Among those who are now in the fields
but who have promised to return TO
school as soon as harvest is over are,
Albert johnson, John Griggs, Luther
Rsglin, Isaac o Neal and Bernard Shorb
Several of the boys attend the classes
in the morning and then work in the
fields near Goodwell in the afternoon.
Several good speeches have been en-
joyed by the students. in chapel during
the past week. Those who entertained
us are, Dewey Wallace. who told us of
his experiences in the army, and John

life in the navy. Friday ..morning our
genial friend, Carl Andrew, County
Agent of Cimarron county. gave US some
good advise, and on Saturday Prof.
Eugene Smith, of Boise City. told US
about the campaign for consolidated
schools that he had recently helped put
over in Cimarron county. Monday
morning Rev. 5. w. Franklin, of Tex
homa, ard also his father made very
interesting talks to the students.
Among the many Improvements now
being made on the campus, is the con-
struction of new green house, that
viii be warmed by the steam line that
runs from the heating plant to the dor
mitories.

of the Panhandle, with its broad rich
fields of waving wheat Mr.. Evans was
once county commissioner Of Washita

Plans are being perfected for a trip
for the orchestra, in Beaver county,
during the first week in August. About
sixteen concerts will be given at various
towns and country churches and school
houses. These orchestra trips make a
fine outing for the children and are a
source of great pleasure and benefit to
the people who have the good fortune
to hear the concerts. On this trip, as
is the custom, the orchestra will be ac-
companied by members of the faculty
who will lecture at the meetings.
