for refreshments. On the way to
the party Norma leaned comfort-
ably on a sack of eggs in the
car. As she carried if in the
house, the bottom fell out and
eggs dripped everywhere The
boys brought cold drinks and the
girls furnished the sandwich
spread and potato salad. The
group ate, played, sang, danced,
and laughed continuously.
Barby kept yawning and finally
got her blanket and pillow and
made herself comfortable on the
floor. Some one said that she might
be hinting.

GENERAL NEWS
No one got married this week,
there are no tests to gripe about,,
and no one had been killed, so
iher - isn’t much news this week.
The senior production, The Life
of tne Party, was one of the
best, if not the best pir~lions-
Taft has seen. The Pres Me* girls
sang and played recorders in-
between acts. In spite of the bad
weather there was nearly a full
house. After (tie play all the girls
spent the night with Mrs Sparks.
Cheer leader try outs were last
Tuesday. A number of girls tried
out, but 1 couldn't find out who
won before the paper had to go in.
Baseball season has started!
With the Hounds pluming Bccville
here last Monday, They will play
