THE lOTEM. 27 The latest acquisition to our staff of teachers is Mr. Virgil Berry, who has been in charge of the eighth grade and the High School subjects which were abandoned by Mr. Wirick. Mr. Berry has had one year ' s work at Indiana university in the Lil;eral Arts course, and is a graduate of the Indiana university law school. The tasks of correcting numberless English papers and guiding the foot- steps of the Latin classes, have been completely handled by Miss Letha Patterson of Decatur, 111. Miss Pat- terson is a graduate of the James Millikan university of Decatur, and has taken jiost-graduate Avork at the University of Chicago. Praise is due to Mr. 0. T. Spencei-, who has so ably put through the school ' s latest entrance into the theatrical world. Mr. Spencer is a graduate of the Central Normal col- lege of Danville, Ind. Music and drawing are his special lines of work, but he has taught other things equally weil dnrin ' the vear.

Miss Buzby stin-ed up quite a com- motion last winter w hen she came all the way from Juniperville and set up a boarding house. Indeed, people be- came so interested in her and her boarders that the whole town pa:d her a visit on February 8 at Vurpil- lat ' s opera house, where she chose to receive her guests. Everyone was charmed by the self- possessed actress, Miss Marr, who got ahead of the mysterious Mr. Smith, and foiled the plans of the villainous Felix Marden. The coquettish Pansy Purple and her clever Jimmie Span- gjer made quite a pair. Miss Wen- dale, pale and interesting, and her lover, Jerome Townsend, gave an ideal love picture. Florinda caused much merriment, and the Petifers kept things so stiiTed up that everyone heaved sighs of relief when they tin- ally took their departure. Everyone voted Miss Buzby an ideal hostess, and we are still eagerly awaiting the time when she will again entertain. The play was certainly a success from a financial view-point. One liundred and twenty-five dollars were taken in, and ninety-six dollars and fifty cents were left as net proceeds. ETHEL SMITH.
