A new rule has gone into effect
for entering and leaving the assembly
hall. When the bell rings, the stu
dents in each room rise and face
the back. Then, when Miss Eliason
starts playing the march, the seniors
march out of their home room
single file, form two abreast
in the corridor, and march
through the study-hall into
the auditorium, where they take
their allotted places at the back OF
the room. After the seniors pass in,
the juniors, sophomores, and fresh
men follow in the same manner.
This avoids confusion and noise at
the auditorium doors. After all are
in their places a hymn or patriotic
song is sung, followed by the salute
to the flag. After that notices are
given out by the principal. Then the
students march out in the same order
in which they entered. At noon and
night the juniors and seniors pass
out one minute before the freshmen
and sophomores in order to avoid
confusion and disorder in the cor
ridors.

would have progressed, one could
not tell, had there not been q re-

to that time was completed, so that
every member of the club was en-
titled to go to the Kennebec Po-

been invited to give a demonstra-

we were on time, the girls" full of
life. giving club cheers and songs
frequently. Mr.. Shibles, the State
club leader, was present. which was
much appreciated by the Kennebec
Girls Club.
On this trip we visited the fish
hatchery and were shown around
and told about the fish, which was
very instructive and interesting. We
returned home and every one got
busy for the Field Day at Lakewood,
the girls" trying all the time to
complete the years work.
One of the next things to do, was
to earn money, which was done by
having a food sale, the money being

PICTURE HATS LOSE.
French Milliners Unable to Dis
place Small Types.

PARIS, February 5.-The Spring Of
fensive of the picture hat has failed
for the third successive season, and
milliners fear that small hats will
reign supreme until women allow
themselves more hair than at present,
The hats seen here are ciose-fitting,
especially at the back, where there
is frequently no brim, or a small
turned-up one at the most. Crowns
are high and are pinched and pulled
about TO rob them of stiffness or
harshness. The brim, too, follows no
set line, but is shaped to suit the face.
Black, beige and leather brown con-
tine to be the colors most worn. Suede
hats are also popular.
