Betterment club gave a public recep-
ton for the teachers of the Princeton
public schools. Under the able man
agement Of the general chairman,
Mrs. J.. w. Mossman, this proved to
be a very enjoyable affair. The deco
rating committee, consisting of Mes
danes Gfrerer, G. Galley and Fred
Manke, certainly worked wonders with
the big auditorium Of the high school,
where the reception was held, for it
was transformed into an attractive
homelike room. Rugs carpeted the
floor, plants bloomed in unexpected
places, gaily colored robes converted
rows Of seats into comfortable divans
and softly shaded lights cast a. rosy
glow throughout the room.
After the assembling of the guests,
who We're received informally by the
club members, the president, Mrs.
Guy Galley, in few well chosen words,
extended welcome to the teachers as
guests of honor The teachers were
then escorted to the stage, where Mr..
Lumb very, cleverly introduced them
by series of charades and puns
based on their names. AS each name
was guessed Mrs. Galley presented the
teacher. The actors for this part of
the program We're drafted from the
other guests and much latent talent
was discovered. Joe Mossman was
perhaps the most scintillating star in
the cast.
The merrymaking was followed by
"a short program of more formality.
Allen Ross played very pleasingly two
time favorites on his trombone.
Mrs. Ed. Nelson, singing very sweetly,
gave two selections in her usual
sprightly manner. Douglas Ames, one
Of the high school instructors, sang
twice. Mr.. Ames is always favorite
with the audience and this proved to
be no exception to the rule. Mrs. Geo
Ross, whom it is always a pleasure to
hear, sang two songs.
A. B. Gramer, representing the
school board, spoke very ably on the
many advances made in Princeton in
the matter of school building and
equipment during the last few years

his audience that the school board at
all times aims to serve the best in.
