STAR SIFTINGS
By Our Regular Correspondent
Of coursii the opening of the
school Monday was the event of
the season, and1 combining with
it +hL‘ Fourth Liberty Loan rally
causes us to class it as the event
of events for Star. Yes, thb oc-
cais’on was a success, even if we
were on the vergb of despair
about securing speakers for the
occasion, and the Eagle scribe
wish) © the Rev. G. A. Henderson
of Goldthwacte to know tha^ we
can not fully express our ap-
preciation for his response to oiu
request and! his '.most appropri-
ate talk on “ Super ntendent,
Y acher, Pupil and Parent; Co-
operation and United Effort.”
Also to Cajpt. J. IT. Anderson of
Camp Bike, Ohio (who claims an
t qual share of our appreeiat'on),
for his address, in when he hit
the keyno+e when he said -‘All
that the boys want to know
while they are in this fight .is
donated ninety-s:xj artich s—1bed
sheets, 4; hath towels, 9; tow-
els, 6; napkins, 33 ; handle r-
chiefs, 44.
Wc thank Mes dames Morris,
Hamilton and Goodnight for a
fail report on the Parents and
Teach rs club meeting and its
working organization. We must
say that every parent should
join and take active part, for the
club has accomplished more con-
junctive,1 aid for the school than
the <men could have done (and
the men acknowledge it). The fol-
lowing officers - were selected^:
Mrs. B» H Patterson, president;
Mrs. J H Goodnight, vfhe-pres.;
Mrs. PI Morris, secretary; Mrs.
R C Campbell, yAs. ’t sreretaryj
Mrs. T E IP;/nil ton, treasurer.

That, the people a* home are doT Tdill and G D Burney. The club
hopes to report a- better attpnd-
ing th-eir part,” and you UvIt
heard his talky'^nA' vffose who
-read. tlFsp-AFo you all realize
whaJ that expression means? It
came from him unconsciously in
ms talk. Our third speaker owed
us tit: talk and he gave us one
that was “food for thought,”
and from now on the teachers,
parents 'and trustees have a
hint as to that which creates
destructive friction in the school
and works against its progr ss,
and we believe Prof. D. .A. Bin-
ton right. His talk was highly
appreciated and rounded out the
interesting program.
