fully protected. Here Supt. White
fully explained the situation; after
an hours discussion it was decided
that the following substitute would
be satisfactory in place of the for
mer Banquet and Promenade: Pro-
gram for Seniors, Juniors, and their
guests, followed by public dance.
This program in turn was voted as
satisfactory by the Board of Edu-
cation.
Someone has let the cat out of
the bag for the secret has gone
about that the Juniors intend to
make this very bright and snappy
mixup-We know that they are very
capable of this but secrets are
secrets, so tell this to no-one but
your very best friends. The Jun
iors are on the job to getting
things ship-shape for Friday, May
18th, the date set for the Promen-
ade. From the attitude of the
Juniors, it is self-evident that enter
tainment will not be in the form
of dime-novels, Caesar, or Algebra
books,-as this will be taken care
of cum magnus diligentia.
Junior-Senior Promenade, May 18th.
The Class of '23, present Juniors,
will this year entertain their guests
with Program followed by a Pub
lie Dance instead of carrying out
1.-THE old tradition of a Banquet and
Dance, for, due to the increasing
numbers in the classes, the banquet
will be impossible. The program
being planned will be more equiv
alent for the former banquet. In
vitations are to be sent to the
guests; the dance will last from 8
until 1890.

Library Notes.
The Library now has a goodly
store of material on "Good Roads,
q which is available to the students
: who are entering the national essay
contest on this subject. Govern
ment pamphlets have come in con-
tanning authoritive views on why
we should have good roads.
Last week the Library was an
exceptionally busy place, for over
fifty books were given out to mem
bers of the English classes who
are entering the essay contest put
on by the Mothers Club in Ely.
The subject is: "The Book That
Has Best Inspired Me To Be A
Better American" Among III e
books that have been in the great
est demand are Hale's "The Man
Without a Country;" Mary Antin's
THE Promised Land;" ChurchilPs
The Crisis" "The Crossing"
Richard Carver" and "Conniston :"
Roosevelt's "The American Ideals
and other Essays" Thayer's "Life
of Roosevelt" and TarbelPs "He
Knew Lincoln" Israel ZangwelPs
THE Melting Pot" and Drinkwater's
Abraham Lincoln" have been the
plays most widely selected.
The genuine usefulness of the
library is being attested more and
more each day by the great num-
Der of students who seek reference
works and find apt material on
their subjects. The current mag
azines as "The Outlook, Literary
Digest" and "The Independent
have been bound from year to year,
so that one may consult magazines
of earlier years. The Library con-
tains bound volumes of Literary
Digests" for sixteen years back
since 1906; Outlook" since 1910;
Survey" since 1915 and "The In
dependent" since 1916. These mag
azlnes have reputation for pre-
senting fair and comprehensive ac-
counts of the problems of the day.
therefore they make the best kind
of references.
The Readers Guide is being used
lntelligently and with good results,
Miss Franklin is pleased to note.
She wishes also to call attention to
the fact that the bound volumes of
the magazines are now in the main
library, easily found and conven-
iently used.
On Friday Miss Keable spoke to
the Normal Training class on ely
giene." The talk was very inter
esting and instructive, and all the
girls profited by the talk.
| The State Inspector for Normal
Training departments was in Ely
and visited our department. The
class is looking for another visit
on the first of May.

The Opportunity class is running
very successfully under the able
direction Of Miss Richter. The
students in the class are now work
ing on their last pieces of toy fur
niture, such as beds, davenports,
dressing tables, etc. They are also
busy weaving rugs for the people
in town who are sending in a great
many orders every week.
The members of the class had
a little surprise before the Easter
vacation when Mrs. Coombes gave
them cookies, candied rice, and
