game composed by the very ver
satile Miss Campbell, and was
won by Mrs. Thomas J. Blltch.
Mrs. Hay invited Joe Sears, one

singing “School Days”, then Mrs.

“faculty” and “students” alike.
Several games of Bingo were
then enjoyed under the direction

Those teachers who were
guests of the club were, Mr. and
Mrs. John Austin, Mrs. Ed Rob
