GARFIELD PICKUPS Tuesday, the pupils received their May number of the Headlight, which is the last number of the year and a double numDer. t-Tom the very beginning to the end it is lull of interest and entertainment. When one starts to look at it, he does not put it down until he has finished reading it, until he has read the final will and testament (a sad story) of the 8-A class. The cover design which is printed in two shades of blue, was made by Richard Ziegler, a member of the Garfield Art class, and possesses the beauty of line which is typical of the figure which forms the center of the design the Goddess of Liberty. Room 11 has a record of 100 per cent, in its Headlight sales for the term. Harriet Hunt is the agent of this room. Miss Schultz's English class, made up of pupils of the 8B grade and the 8A Specials, have written letters and stories and poems and cent them to two members of their class who are sick, Jeraldine Harter and Pauline Hlnton. Another one of Garfield's corps of popular teachers is about to leave the school. This reiers to Mr. war fel, the printing teacher, who has accepted ti position in Jackson, Michigan.

The captains of the Girls' Club read a play, "In the Palace Gardens," and David Henderson made a talk on "Immigration." Games and lunch (we'll say so!) were enjoyed late in the afternoon. Several talks on varied subjects were given by the officers and captains. Special mention should be made of the speech made by David Henderson in which he expressed his appreciation of the Garfield club work, and said he would miss it, he knew when he was in a new school next year. He and his parents will leave Richmond this Bummer. The Girls Art Club held its last meeting of the term Wednesday afternoon. At this time they enameled the vases they had made Of clay. The vases were fired in Miss Whittridge's kiln. William Chris's baseball ten.m holds first place among all the room teams for this season's ball playing. He is captain of Room 3.

A gallant soldier lay dying On the battle fields of France; A nurse was bending o'er him, And it seemed there was no chance, A fatal shell had fallen On the boy bo dear and brave; And the life that was fast dying The young nurse was trying to save. Quickly but patiently she worked, Till she saw he was going fast, And she strained her ears and listened To his words, which were his last. "Kiss me for my mother," Were the words so faint to hear, And the young nurse's lips were quivering, And in her eye there stood a tear.

cial art class which will be held from June 10 through July. The members of the Garfield Art Club who belonged to the special class which he offered last summer are: Elmer Porter, Richard Ziegler and Edwin Taggart. Council meeting was held at the General Exercise period Wednesday, at which time the 8A council members gave little talks about their Bchool year. Echoes From the Y" Basement It has been 'decided to continue the Bible classes in the Boys' Division dudng the summer. The present course of lessons will be completed Saturday, May 29, and an examination will be held in the work, on Saturday, June 5. A banquet will be given to all the boys of the class who have been present for at least three of the class meetings. Certificates have been offered by Mr. Wilson, teacher of the class, to all boys who receive a grade of 60 per cent or above on their examination. These certificates have that makeup about them and appearance which makes us say "they have class." A hike will be held Saturday, the boys "starting from the Association Building at 1:30 o'clock with Mr. Bush as leader. Hurrah! The "Y" ia to have at least one Boy Scout troop, maybe more! Already the patrol leaders have been chosen, and soon they will choose their assistants, and then they will study and pass the Tenterfoot tests. When they have done this, they will organize the patrol. This is different from the usual organization of a Boy Scout troop, but H sounds worth while, since the patrol leaders will always be one class ahead of the other members of the troop, and will thus j perhaps, be better able to lead the tenderfoots. This troop will hold regluar meetings once a week. Come and Sing Sunday afternoon all the children may express their patriotism and their gratitude to the soldiers of our country by going to the coliseum and singing in the Memorial Day program, which will be taken part in at . that time. All children from the third grade up may join in this volunteer children's chorus. Miss Marlatt is very anxious that all the children come, and wishes to urge them to do so, through the Junior Palladium. "Tbey should consider it their patriotic duty to do this," said Miss Marlatt. The program win commence at 1:45 o'clock.

"Kiss Me For My Mother" (By Vivian M. Beare)

I Society

Tuesday afternoon a three-course dinner was served at Whitewater school. Here is the menu: Chicken soup, scalloped tomatoes, pears, cakes, cocoa. Doesn't that sound good? Miss Murphy gave the treat, and the best thing of all was that we did not have to wash the dishes. Marguerite Muckridge. Everett William Lemon, Jr., and his brother James Lemon and their father and mother spent Sunday in Indianapolis. Wednesday afternoon Mr. Weather insisted that no campfires be held out of doors; therefore, Miriam and Marguerite Burbanck entertained the members of the Nature club with an indoor camp supper at their home in Reevcston, in honor; of their eleventh birthday. Games! and imaginary bird and flower! trips and campfire stories were enjoyed by the guests. Late in me aiternoon refreshments were: served. The guests were: Marion Harlan, Martha Ann Gennett, Marion Chenoweth, Lestra Hibberd, Kathleen Comstock, Virginia Brookbank, William Burbank, Marguerite Burbanck, Miriam Burbanck, Miss Frances Simmons, Miss Gertrude Williams, Miss Eleanor Gilford, Mrs. Burbanck and Mr. Bur banck. Alan Widdis Erunson, who lives in Fort W'ayne, came with his mother to visit his grandmother, Mrs. Clara Graves, of North Seventh street. The "Come Join Us" class of the Whitewater Friends' church had a Topsy Turvy party in the basement of the church Friday evening. Margaret Elliott, of fi24V2 Main street, spent Saturday with her friend, Mary Louise Bills on West Fifth street. Personals Jeraldine Harter has been absent from Garfield many days on account of serious illness. Mildred Minnick is ill at her home with scarlet fever. Mary Minnick is in quarantine. Pauline Hinton of Garfield school has been confined to her home, quarantined for diphtheria. What la the difference between a hill and a pill? One is hard to get up, the other is hard to get down. Wallowing around in a pool of eelf-pity is neither swimming nor good sportsmanship.

For before her lay a-dying A mother's only son; His young life was fast going, Soon his work on earth was done. Only a moment she faltered, For no more could he say; She stooped and kissed him on the forehead, For his mother far away. He would never know the difference, Only looked at her and smiled; Again she bent and kissed him, As a mother would a child. But a moment 'twas all ended; On his face there was a smile Breathed for his lonely mother, Who will join him after while.

Garfield Faculty Appears in Public The faculty is a portion of the school which is usually content to let their light shine under a bu&L el, as the story goes. ,wever, Friday, May 21, at 1:30 inthe afternoon, they appeared in the High School auditorium behind the footlights. This was the last chapel for the Garfield students for (his school year. The program which was shall we say "hugely?" (wh. i it certainly was) enjoyed b all the members of the audience, consisted of the following numbers: "When the Twilight Shadows Fall," quartet, Messrs. Brown, Warfel, Rice and Miller. "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny." Valse Caprice (Chaminade), pliano duet; On the Lake (Sidney Smith), Miss Parke and Miss Maxlatt. "Polo Grounds," reading, Miss Henley; "The Pessimists." Romance (Svendsen) violin solo, Melodic (Moskowski), Miss Marlatt. , Spanish Dance, Miss Wickemeyer. Announcements, Mr. lleironimus. "The Bridge," quartet. Raise and Store 'Em Urges Supervisor "Raise Potatoes!" is what Supervisor Rice urges the soldiers of the school garden army to do, "and beans and peas, something you can store or can." Besides these things do not require sugar to preserve them. Potatoes will probably be scarce and high next winter. Food, good, nourishing food, may not be abundant. Look ahead and plan your garden sensibly. There are now 1,344 in the army which means 1,344 gardens, whether large or small, planted and cared for by Richmond boys and girls. Many seeds have been sold to these soldfers and badges for the privates, lieutenants and captains are expected any time by Mr. Rice. Keep after your gardens until the food is grown and put away for winter use. Mr. Rice hinted something about a garden produce exhibit to be held some time in July, if the army members do their gardening well. Would it not give you thrills of pleased feelings to see your potatoes and parsnips and tomatoes and all sorts of other things sitting en a table with your name marked on them right where everyone can s-e it, with perhaps a blue or a red ribbon attached? This is possible for each one of you junior garden workers.

Teddy bears, elephants, tables and little chairs, comfy little cots, one's very own drinking cup, a chute-the-chutes, swings (three ot them one for the babies) and a sand pile, and oh, so many things belong to the Day Nursery and are just for 'the children who come there to spend the day while their mothers are working. What fun they have! Children have come to the Day Nursery when only three weeks old, and then there have been children all different ages through 14 years. The youngest one in the nursery now is a little Sunny Jim baby who smiles all tho time. He is five months old. They may stay at the nursery from 6 o'clock in the morning till 6 at night. Every day they have a nice bath, two good lunches, one dinner (and since your editor was there right at dinner time one day, she. knows these dinners look very good!) one nap and clean overalls and aprons all furnished by the nursery. Then at three o'clock in the afternoon comes the story hour, and that is the only time the swings, and music box and playthings are ever neglected, for then everybody gathers around Mrs. Knott, the very popular "nursery mother" while she reads to them or tells them a story. Who sees to it that these little kiddies have all th'" merry and healthy home life? Do the parents pay for it? Yes, every parent pays something eaOh day for his child, but there are lots and lots of things that must be paid for some other way. That Is the reason, next Saturday has been named as "Day Nursery Tag Day" when everyone interested in helping Bobbie and Juanita, and Merritt, and Helen, and all the other little boys and girls (about twenty of them every day) who enjoy the Day Nursery Home, to have all these nice

things. "Happy Childhood the World Over" is the slogan of all Juniors these days. The children of Brooklyn, New York, are sending children who live in the crowded districts of New York to the country to help them to be healthy and happy. We can do the same thing or something like it, for little boys and girls right here in Richmond, and make them healthy and happy. Go visit the Day Nursery and see what an inviting home it Is, and next Saturday, Juniors, WEAR A TAG! MANY VISITORS FOR SCHOOL ART EXHIBIT The Public School Art Exhibit which was from May 10 through May 22, was visited by large numbers of interested people, both children and grown-ups. The following totals of visitors from the different schools on the days when their school program was presented show the extent to which the Interest in this exhibit was shown: The numbers of grown-up visitors: Vaile, 2G4; Baxter, 95; Hibberd, 112; Sevastopol, 27; Warner, 90; Starr, 95; Whitewater, 5fi; Finley, (unable to secure report at time this goes to press).

In reading this report, In order to give justice to it, be sure and remember that the evil (at least they were evil In this case) genii of weather and distance played no small part in the numbers present.

Jack Barrymore, the actor, was In a group who were cracking conundrums, when he asked: "Now you fellows Beem very clever at such things. So tell me what is the difference between a mosquito and an elephant?" "The difference?" asked one. "Yes," answered Barrymore. They all gave up, when the actor walking away Bald: "Their shape." o
