FROM FLORIDA

Thursday, February 3rd was a
memorable day for about thirty OF
Sarasota's winter visitors.
AT about nine o'clock on that day
the boat Friendship" carried them
down to the homes of Prof. Henry
and the captain of the boat, Mr.. Kirk
patrick, about six miles down the bay.
The Henry home is one of the show
places on Sarasota Bay and affords
much interest. The Professor gath
cred the ladies together and conduct
ed them over the grounds explaining
names of flowers and shrubs. A love-
ly Bougan Villea, in blossom, { there
are many of those here.) Dobia,
with large pink blossoms, bush
about 15 feet high. Four kinds of
Bauhemia trees, Cactus about an inch
and half wide running up a high
tree looked very odd. Oleanders.
Loquats, Corrissa, taste like plums
and good for hedges. Lady finger
bananas, small low peach tree with
small peaches and pine apples. then
the Professor said "You all, no doubt.
raise potatoes in hills but | raise
them on trees. A vine ran up into
an oak tree near his home and bore
a potato that looked something like
an artichoke. Saw a pretty plant
called Golden-Rain by the house: said
1T had been in blossom ten weeks
Mr.. Henry was for many years Pro-
fessor in the University of Wisconsin.
and is said to be very learned man.
After viewing these grounds, all
started for the adjoining home of the
captain of the island where an oyster
roast was the main feature. The
oysters had been taken from the Bay
that morning and were large and of
fine flavor. The lunch baskets. were
opened and spreads made close to the
oyster roast. Several were up in the
art of opening the shells so all were
served with plenty. The trip was
much enjoyed and those who sat on
the upper deck saw sights that were
worth while. All along the bay there
are fine homes owned by tourists
from different states. Then we saw
Keys, bayous, canals, rivers. fish.
waterfowls and many tropical beau
ties. Of course there was lots of fun
with our Ohio friend, on board. who
would reach down from the upper
deck and throw ''Fiddlers," Ga large
bug used for bait) on the ladies to
near them scream. Otherwise the
trip was fine from start to finish. and
when the boat pulled into Sarasota
harbor the band was playing which
ADDED interest and delight to the close
OF a perfect day.
A lady walked into a store and
asked for 2-lb roast of native pork
off the shoulder. They weighed her
up the whole shoulder and il weighed
IL pounds. 1t was young and soon
cooked. All thought it the best meat
they had ever ate. A shark followed
row boat one day, the man had a
time getting away from it. So we
only wade in to get shells and 90
nome sometimes a mile and a half
with our feet wet. No one ever takes
cold in this salt water. A lady from
Detroit came in here yesterday and
wanted to know when we were going
home, she wanted us to go back bv
way of Mobile, Ala, and stay a while
with them, (she, her daughter and
grand daughter) but was sorry our
return ticket takes us back another
way.

SCHOOL NOTES

| School started again Monday after
a weeks vacation and every one is
trying very hard to settle down to
their regular studies, although they
sometimes find this is not easily ac-
complished after having such good
time.
The Seniors had their first play re-
herasal Monday evening.
We are glad to have Glenn Wag-
goner and Lloyd Tomkinson with US
again after being absent for so long
time with scarlet fever.
A very exciting ball game will take
place on the school grounds, Friday
afternoon, April 8, between the Jun
iors-Freshies, and the Seniors-Sopho-
mores. If you want to see a good
game played, you want to be present
at 4 100 o'clock sharp.
Monday night after school the
basket ball girls made ready shortly
after dismissal, and had a real
practice. They have entered the
spring term with a real enthusiastic
spirit and we hope this continues for
some time. The boys have had some
small amount of fun over the number
of games they have lost, but they are
going to show different record this
year.
The Geom&ry class is having some
very interesting problems, since va
cation, so much so that their teacher,
Mr.. White, felt obliged to call an ex-
ira session Tuesday afternoon at A.
They worked very faithfully for
while and succeeded in finishing them
when he had helped each one individ-
ually.
There will be an inter-class field
meet Friday afternoon, April Is, on
the school athletic field.
The track and base ball squads be-
gan work very diligently Monday
night. The boys think so much of
their neat white track suits that they
even play base ball with them on, pre-
ferring them to their base ball suits.
Morris and Farrill Robev are alb
sent from the seventh grade on ac-
count of sickness.
The seventh B are studying very
intensely the British Isles and are
finding some very interesting facts
concerning it.
The seventh grade A are making
drawing of the various parts of the
human anatomy. The teacher is very
proud of some which have been ham
died in as they are exceedingly good.
The sixth grade have some real
athletics and are organizing basket
ball team. They are planning to get
new ball in the near future.
One day last week the sixth grade
teacher. Mrs. Smith, was called from
her room, to help another teacher
during recess. When she returned
she found the pupils gathered in the
front seats, which were loaded with
baskets filled with good things to
eat. She also received a number of
beautiful Easter cards and every one
had splendid time The occasion
was an entire surprise.
The sixth B class are struggling
with long division. AS yet they cam
not understand why we have to worry
our brains with such things.
The other grades of the school have
some good athletes but think we will
have to remove our hats to the fourth
grade boys. They have purchased
two new ball bats and a soccer
ball and have organized into two base
ball teams who challenge any grade in
the school to game at any time.
The fourth grade Nature Study
class enjoyed bird hunt, Monday.
The third grade are very inter
ested in the study of japanese life.
Alfretta Bennett is new pupil in |!
the second grade.
