good program for the few as
she would have for the many
and those in attendance en-
jOyed the sextette of girls
from the high school who
sang. Miss Erna Martin was
the speaker Miss Martin is
the school librarian and one
who knows books and their
worth. She spoke on the appeal
of books for children of the
grades and well established the

those of all ages. It was un-
fortunate that more could not
have heard her and gathered
the knowledge that they
could impart to their families.
