Baker of the Board of Education, ad- dressed the pupils of Business High School in the auditorium on Wednes- day, December 14. He spoke about the presentation of the Hag of Pitts- burgh to the Lord Mayor of London by the Boy Scouts. He also told us about some of the experiences he had while in London. Every one enjoyed his ad- dress. At an auditorium meeting held Tuesday, December 6, Mr. Roland Deevers, principal of the Washington School, gave anecdotes of his trip around the world. He described the customs so vividly that the pupils real- ly thought they were taking a trip with him. He exhibited some of the sou- venirs which he had brought back with him. Many of the pupils were de- sirous of having a few of the souvenirs.
