SENIOR CLASS ORGANIZED LAST FRIDAY 1938 CLASS PLAY IS SET FOR OCTOBER 21. The Class of ’39 met last Friday morning for the purpose of organizing and selecting their sponsors. Returns of the election are as follows: President, Ronald Sharp; Vice President Burton Niles and Secretary Treasurer, Harry Coy. Last Monday, President Sharp called a meeting for the purpose of appointing a standing committee to help him carry out class functions. He chose Burton Niles chairman, Harry Coy, Martha Thornburg, and Katharine Dillen. He also announced that he would post a schedule of keepers of the candy box on the bulletin board, and urged that it be given due attention. The class decided that they would issue no credit during their term of selling this year, ash it is a losing proposition, and tends to encourage a baa habit among the students. Mr. Slabaugh informed the class that October 21 was the best date for the class play and received their permission to. schedule it for that date. Miss Hammon has started to select the play, and will probably pick her cast the first week in October. Represent Kosciusko County At State Fair Girls School Martha Rose Hibschman returned from the state fair Girls School at Indianapolis, where she had spent the last two weeks. Kathryn Beei of Milford and Martha had been chosen as the two girls to represent the county at this school. They were chosen in a contest held in Warsaw August 8. Two girls front each county attended this school. The girls were divided into six groups. Different classes were arranged for these girls, consisting of baking and other cooking in the kitcheh, setting of the table, laundering, handicraft and dormitory work. These different classes were divided equally so that each group had equal time in each class. Bead bracelets, braided belts, and pottery were made during the handicraft period. After these classes lectures were given by a variety of speakers, a few of these lectures were, "Health” by Dr. Rice, “Setting the Table” by Mrs. Miller, “Dentai Health” by Dr. Westfall, etc. Besides these lectures, demonstrations were given in baking rolls, meats, etc. Many interesting trips were taken. For example, one was taken through the Scottish Rite Cathedral. Many other interesting things were done during hese two weeks. The girls feel this is a fine trip for anyone to win, and hope that more from Syracuse win next year ana have the privilege of attending this school.
