 At the business meeting where only routine business was trans acted, with the exception of a sug- gested amendment to the bylaws, which will be voted upon at the next meeting, Mrs. Gurr, member ship committee, reported having secured a total of 150 members. MT. Arola reported for the Ora matic Club of the P.-T.A that the play in progress, What Happened to Jones'" would be ready for pro- duction early in January. This play is favorite both on the legi- innate stage and in pictures and should draw a big crowd here, ac- cording to those familiar with the humorous situations with which it abounds. It is said to be in the hands of a capable cast and the director and all concerned are working hard at the rehearsals which are held twice a week.
 The refreshment committee last week consisted of Mesdames E. M. Campbell and Johnson and Supt. Rasmussen. The chairman of the program was Carl Arola with Miss Scott as the cooperating member of the faculty. MT. Gurr has charge of the January program with Miss Crouch cooperating. The topic for the evening will be Thrift" which has been assigned Mir Benjamin and the meeting is designated as Pas Night" and should be a chal- lenge to more fathers of school children to attend.
