The cost of the materials is between five and six hundred dollars. The approximate value is about $2000. At present the hut will be one large room. Later, a kitchenette will be added. Plans are under way for beautifying the front of the building. The plans are worked out by the science department of Garfield. The curtains will be made by the sewing de partment, under the supervision of Mrs. Brennan. The music department has been extremely helpful in completing the hut.

L8G ADVISORY RECEIVES GUESTS Our Low Eight advisory entertained a class of girls from the Deaf and Dumb Institute. The girls visited us at the advisory period. They were very much interested in our work, so Miss Gay had us recite some words from the board while the girls watched our lips with extreme interest. Then Mrs. Martin, their instructor, asked them some questions and they wrote on the board their answers. Most of us do not realize how fortunate we are until we see these pitiful afflic- tions of life. They recently sent us some copies of their interesting papers, Once-A-Week, and California News. They extended a hearty welcome to the boys of our class to visit their printing department, where the boys of the institute publish the papers. We trust that the girls had an enjoyable time at Garfield. The L8G class is always glad to entertain visitors. Alyse Lyon, L8. THE ALUMNI DANCE On Friday evening.
