On March 3rd the High School Junior entertainment was given at The Metro Theatre. In the afternoon the Juniors made the final preparations for the evening, including the final advertising. They advertised ala hay- rack, did it extensively and, we may say, also-vociferously. About 4:00 p. m. the weather man thought to dampen our spirits. The evening was initiated by a sprinkle. This developed into what might be termed a shower. A veritable down-pour followed and continued to follow for the duration of the evening. The Juniors, although they are generally a cheerful bunch, began to look a bit glum. Was this the way their plans were to be spoiled? Fortunately there are a number of loyal people in and near Wyanet who were Willing to face the rain.

She pre- vails upon her husband to assist her in entertaining. Reluctantly he agrees. Bored at first, he finally becomes quite engrossed in conversing with the Widow Dashleigh. Mrs. Busby is much mortified, and, after the tea re- proaches her husband wrathfully and tearfully. Poor Busby cannot un- derstand the inconsistencies of womankind.
