Monnett School for Girls Items.

Miss Clara Stacey spent several days in Chicago last week. Marcella Eells and Edith Whitten, students at Monnett, spent Thanksgiving with parents and friends in Chicago. The students are preparing an Indian operetta, 'The Feast of the Red Corn,” which is to be given on the evening of December 13, the place to be announced later. Miss Madeline Ramp is directress of the chorus work. Look for later announcements. The Kerr brothers paid a visit to the school Tuesday morning and gave an address which was much enjoyed by every member of the school. They also sang several beautiful songs. The students have been regular and responsive attendants of the evangelistic services. Rev. Charles H. Hicknjan, who is pastor of the M. E. church at Kaw, Okla., made a very delightful visit to Monnett School for Girls a few days ago, and gave the girls a very interesting talk. He is stationed near the Kaw Indian reservation, and carried with him many beautiful and valuable rugs, embroidered robes, and other Indian curios. His stories of Indian life were very intertaining and realistic, and his address was much appreciated by both faculty and students.
