propriated for this entertainment,
suggested that some one of the COM
II ittees take it in charge. The Edu-
cational Department, Mrs. Carl r.
Green. chairman, being DESTROYS of
earning some money for their schoI-
arship fund. decided to take charge
of the entertainment this year, and
the other departments have their
work cut out for them in the wears
to come If they equal this guest
night.

BILE to organize and train a band es-
pecially for this evening. which they
call the "Kazook Radio Band" con-
sisting of II women, all members of
