K I T C H E N D I N R I O N O G M THIZ KITCHEN The kitchen is very important to all of us at Columbia. Besides the good meals we enjoy three times a day, it provides work for most of the girls. Mrs. Hempel, our matron, is full of fun and we have many good times during our work period. We're always busy, but visit us some time!! ELLEN THONIAS. ooo I DINING ROOM w I1CI1 we come to Columbia our first thought is the dining room. This is .1 cheery room with its many tables where we enjoy tasty, wholesome meals served in good old family-style. Here, too, is where we enjoy many pleasing social contacts, and learn table etiquette. VIVIAN SUNIJERLAND. 440 BAKERY The Academy Bakery is a center of lively interest four days each week when breads and pastries are prepared for various places of distribution. There are three bakery routes. This gives opportunity for several boys to work considerable of their way through school, as well as an opportunity to learn a trade and receive credit for .1 vocation.

SOCIETY Every Sabbath afternoon at three-thirty you will see a happy group of young people going to the Chapel for one of the most inspirational services of the week, the Missionary Volunteer Society meeting. The object of these meetings is to give oppor- tunity for each student to become a leader in spiritual work. ALICE SLADE. MINISTERIAL AND PRAYER BAND The ministerial and prayer bands have a very definite part in the religious life of the school. The prayer bands meet on Wednesdays and the ministerial band meets Friday evenings. Every Sabbath our members assist with the services at the various churches in this district, thus they receive valuable training. MARLOWE SCHAFFNER.
