The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1928-01-27

Dillon visited our school. He gave
us three excellent addresses. He
told the students many things
that they should get from school
in addition to book knowledge. AT
ter the morning session and dur.
ing the afternoon he held confer.
ences with the members of the
class of 1929. His afternoon ad.
dress was a continuation of the
morning number.
At $50 a banquet was held in
the north end of the assembly
The room was beautifully decorat-
ed. The color scheme was orchid
and silver. Floor lamps added to
the color. Mr.. Huxsol very mind
fully sent up an Orthophonic Vic
trola. Miss Everett, accompanied
by Miss Belle Everett, played a
violin solo. The banquet consisted
of three courses. This was pre-
pared by the domestic science
girls in charge of Miss Mckinley,
and was delicious. About forty
guests we're present-all the mem
bers of the faculty, wives and
husbands included) members of
the school board and their wives
and Prof. Albright were present.
A number of songs had been es-
pecially prepared for this occas-
ion. All enjoyed these between
courses. However, we missed Bill
Dewitt on his old favorite: 1.-The
More We Get Together. Mr..
Livingston acted as POSTMASTER.
Mrs. O.. c. Johnson started the
ball going. Her original compo-
sition brought many laughs.
Miss Donaghue followed with a
toast: why Boast About Two?"
Mrs. McFarlan answered this
toast. Mrs. Herman followed with
a clever toast and Immediately
DR.. Burgess was on another deer
hunting" trip. This was followed
with a story by Mrs. Burgess. The
toasts were all excellent. If the
Board members do their work
half as well as their wives did
the toasts, failure will never be
known. The main speech was by
Prof. Albright. He selected the
subject, "Double-minded Thinking
and the Current Element in
Teaching" He urged all teachers
to attend summer schools at least
every few years in order to keep
abreast of the times.
Al Appelgren selected the clos
ing song, Montana" Prof. Al
bright expressed warm apprecia-
ton of the hearty Wolf Point well
come. The expenses of the ban
quet were paid by the Wolf Point
faculty. The teachers worked as
one and put over a real affair =
on short notice. Let us sign off
with ''The More We Get Together
the Happier Well Be-"
