pleasant course of instruction.; we
have enjoyed the recreation hours
under Miss Dickinson and the other
instructors and We wish to thank the
officials Of Carlisle, through Col. Dun
can, for the use of Carlisle school,
which is such an ideal place to hold
our short course, were it not for this
courtesy all of the club members of
the county could not meet together
for this most valuable course of study
and fun.
eve also wish to thank the county
board of education for financing our
short course, even with the use OF
Carlisle it would have been impos-
sible to have the course had you not
so generously financed it and for this
I'VE are most grateful.
''Mr. Smoak certainly knew what
pleases a crowd of. girls more than
anything else when he SO kindly ar
ranged the truck ride for us. We
are sure that he knows what a good
time we had in spite of the rain, but
we want to thank him again for his
thoughtfulness and kindness.
We like moving pictures and we
thank Mr.. Thomas for the comedy
that made US laugh, and for showing
the government poultry pictures
which were instructive as well as in
teresting.
Eve also wish to thank the boy
scouts for their invitation to the ball
game and regret that we could not
attend.
Last, but not least, we want to
thank Mrs. Beach for so carefully
watching over us and being so pa
tient to answer all our numerous
questions.

Warn, our demonstration agent, most
of all for arranging our short course.
