Mr. Dalwahni gave a very interesting talk on his native land. He' went through High School in India, and is at the present working himself through Qberlin by talks on his country. He was dressed in the costume of an Arabian. The talk was enjoyed by all the students, and especially was it interesting the way he ate and sang. Monday which was chapel afternoon was very well spent when Mrs. Stephenson talked to the school on the topic of travel. She was dressed in foreign costume. Her chief point was the ignorance of people who were traveling. She said that one should stay in school and learn about all these things and then travel.

THE TATTLER 15 Masons Mothers Club Odd Fellows G. I. A. Dr. Leet Dr. Tower Mitchell Hardware Company Bertha Barsky Organization of Lads and Lasses of Scottland We now wish to thank the Daughters of Veterans for the six lovely books presented to the High School. The chief thing that Conneaut High School now lacks from being an ideal High School is, a place to put these and many other books, which we already have, or in other words a Library. We do not mean to say that we need it only as a place to put the books, but at the present time any reference that the pupils have to look up, they must make a trip to the Carnegie Public Library. How much more convenient and advantageous it would be if we had a Library in our own School. This is not an experiment but it has been tried and been proven a success by other schools. We trust that in the near future our hopes may be realized and Conneaut High School may have a Library.

THE TATTLER 17 Boys from all classes of the High School took it upon themselves to give the girls a treat. All met at the Baldwin Block, where a hayrack was waiting. It was a bitter cold night, but all bundled up and if they did get cold nothing was said. On the return a lunch was prepared, the girls declaring that they never ate such a delicious one. At a late hour about seventy-five briskly walked away with a smile on their face, yet feeling sorry that it was time to go. One of the High School girls got busy and made preparations for about ten couples to take a sleighride out to Farnham. They arrived safely and after toasting their toes started with the fun. Dancing and games were the amusements of the evening. A dainty lunch was served and then the fun resumed again, but not till they returned did the real fun come in when the bobs tipped over three times. The jolly bunch of Juniors meet at the Memorial at 7 o’clock (?) where a hayrack was awaiting them. When nearly frozen, they reached their destination which was the Loomis Hall at harnham. Their great joy was in finding a warm fire, and when completely thawed out started with the fun. The first part of the evening was given up to stunts and games. A delicious supper was then served by the Misses Myrtle Drew, Louise Arthur, and Marguerite Klump. The remainder of the evening was enjoyed by dancing, the Virginia Reel being the most prominent. When Sunday began to dawn they adjourned, declaring it to be the best party of the season. Mr. and Mrs. Davis and Mr. and Mrs. Tom chaperoned. In celebration of the survival of the tortures of another mid-year exam, the Seniors held a jollification on the old Spring floor at Farnham. They left towm at 5 :30 in a sleigh, taking with them a delicious supper. After laying waste the tempting display of edibles the evening was taken up with games, the most exciting of which was a charade contest between Au Fait-Varsity and Der Zeitgeist-Smith societies represented. Last but not least was the Virginia Reel, which even Brick Graham enjoyed. An early hour is recorded as the return on account of a game the following evening. Mr. Hyre, Miss Webster, Mr. Main and Miss Waters chaperoned.
