“we’l| have the time of our lives, living the way folks did in the good old days.” They arrived at the farm about 7:00 o’clock at night Then things began to happen. First, there was no electricity and the smell of a kerosene lamp did not add to the enjoyment of the evening meal. Then, the beds were unusually hard, having old-fashioned mattresses, and the mosquitoes kept them awake Mr. DcvereU began to complain that it was no fun chopping wood for the fire (there was no gas) and Mrs. DcvereU retorted that neither was it any fun to cook in a hot kitchen when it was 90 in the shade. The vacation was extremely unpleasant hut Mr. DcvereU endured it bravely. Rut he could hardly wait to get back to his own house at the end of the month.

The membership comprises Junior and Senior girls who are taking the Commercial Course. The officers elected at the first meeting were Virginia Gaffney, President, and Mary Walsh, Secretary.
