Perhaps the most beneficial num-
ber on the program was a talk by
Frederick Hoyt on how to be a good
sportsman.
Several recent current events of
Miss Margaret Aynesworth importance were discussed by John
Alexander.
Another educational number was
a lecture on "How I Prevent Fires."
The Club was then entertained with
a ghost story by Mrs. Pearcy, the
sponsor.

The visitor begged for a chance to

Not a single sheep responded.

he will listen to you. When sheep
