Sue, a member of the class of '57, is now attending Indiana University in Bloomington. The class was very glad to hear from her and to learn that she enjoyed their first issue of the paper. —D.H.S.— On Thursday, October 17, the reserve football team defeated Bluffton, 7-0. This reserve team, coached by Paul Bevelhimer, has done very well this season.

The collections ttf&t have been shown were made by Ivan Christman, LeMor Taylor, Tom Cravens. Jim Newton, Larry Hall; Karen Zimmerman, Peggy McCammon, Julia Ellsworth, and Mary Lu Sharpe.

They enjoyed the talk and wish to thank Mr. Heller for taking time to visit them. —D.H.S.— Last six weeks, the freshman home ec class made scrapbooks on color harmonies in order to understand what colors look good to l gether. The junior and senior classes made scrapbooks on periods of furniture. —D.H.S.— The biology classes are now working on collections of leaves, flowers, or weeds. Since these collections are to be in Monday, you may see many of the biology students tramping through the woods looking for samples of one of these three items. It's not hard to guess where one could find these students during this vacation. —D.H.S.— The honor roll tor the first six weeks was posted this week.

Would it be all right for me to give a birthday party for mysein A. Although any other member of your family can do this, it certainly would not be fitting for vou to do it yourself. At least, if you wish to give a party, don’t announce it as your birthday - - otherwise, you will be giving the impression that you are soliciting gift donations. Q. If there is no host in the house at the time, and a hostess i.< seeing a couple off. should she help both of them with their coats, or just the woman? A. She doesn’t assist cither of them. The man first helps the woman with her coat, then attends to himself. Q. When serving coffee to guests, how should the spoons be distributed? A.
