Also in this meeting, red skirts and white sweaters bearing a winged emblem were chosen as uniforms. A party honoring all softball players were given November 10. Games were played and delicious refreshments served. Music The vocal organizations, chorus and sextette, under the leadership of Mrs. Mary Jarvis helped out in all school programs.
