Plans Made for
State Convention
At B. and p. Meeting

At the regular meeting of the
Business and Professional Women's
Club held last evening in the Club
rooms, several matters of impSrt-
ance were discussed. The matter of
most Importance to all is the meet
ing Of the State convention which is
to be held in Waterville, May %.
Only tentative plans have been made
at present, but at the meeting May
4. full arrangements will be COM
pleted. An interesting part of the
program consisted of the reports of
those members who have increased
one cent to two dollars during the
past year. Working on the principal
that large fortunes have been known
to amass from a small capital each
member of the club was presented
last fall with a new cent and asked
to make it increase to at least two
dollars before May. Several had
earned money by making home
made candy, others from fancy
work and still others from doing ex-
ira work in their own particular
line. Miss Elsie Gibson was APP
pointed to receive the funds and
later turn them over to the treasur-
er. After the business meeting was
adjourned a social hour was enjoyed
at which time Mrs. Warren Moses
and Mrs. Clayton Slower acted as
hostesses. Refreshments of ice
cream and waters were served.

Senior High school. to be held in the
City Opera House on the evening Of
Friday, June 10.
DR., Chalmers is a Westerner, COM
ing TO Massachusetts as the head OF
the Framingham school, about eight
years ago. He is a forceful speaker
and one whom Mr.. Glover thinks Is
admirably fitted to address young
people.
The only other addresses, besides
| that of DR.. Chalmers, that will be de-
| livered will be those of the valedc-
tortan, Miss Fannie Cook and the
salutatorian, Malcolm Weed. The
| rest of the honor students, six in
number will write essays which will
be published
In past graduations it has been
the custom to have no outside speak
er and to have the entire commence
ment program given by honor stud
ents. This year it was thought a
good plan to change the arrangement
and to have speaker from without
the state with addresses from only
the two highest ranking students.
The matter was preached to the
students and they discussed it thor
oughly with their parents. When a
vote was taken the students express
sed unanimous approval of the
plan.

that there is whole lot in store
