OF A WEEK!
Items of Interest That
Have Occurred Dur-
ing Seven Days
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. C. Wells
Entertain
Last Thursday night from 8
to 11 Mr. and Mrs. Geo. C. Wells
entertained the High School
basket ball team at a Rook
party. Each girl invited a
young man.
The party was held at the
school building.
The decorations were in the
school colors, red and and black.
Progressive Rook was enjoyed
throughout the evening and
Neal Horner won first prize for
the young man having the most
points and was presented with a
silver pencil.
Olive Crosby was given a
piece of ivory for having the
most points among the young
ladies.
The girls presented their
coach, Mr. Wells with a beauti-
ful gold pencil. Refreshments
of ice cream, cake and punch
were served during the evening
and all enjoyed the hospitality
of Mr. and Mrs. Wells very
much indeed.
PATRONS’ CLUB
The last meeting of the Patrons’
Club for this year was held last Wed-
nesday night, with an attendance of
more than three hundred. The May
Day program given by the 3rd grade
pupils was greatly appreciated, as
was the duet by Frances Rinehart
and Dorothy Wells, who proved
themselves real actors. Mrs. Ross
Lovell sang a pretty song, and the
tableau by the Sophomore girls was
good. TTie costumes and hats worn
showed some of their work in domes-
tic art this year. Prof. Wells gave
a talk in regard to the recent tests
given in our school, and a very mark-
ed improvement has been made since
the first test at the beginning of
school.
The nominating committee for of-
ficers for next year failed to come to
any conclusion and decided to have
the new officers elected by the Club.
The following were elected: Mrs.
J«A. Ashton (re-elected) president;
Mrs. Clyde E. Dowell, first vice pres-
ident; Mrs. J. E. Lawyer, second vice
president; Mrs. John Rinehart, sec-
retary; Lee Crossley, treasurer.
Mrs. LaRue Taylor as chairman of
the refreshment committee, had an
excellent lunch served cafeteria style,
the proceeds amounting to $30. The
amount collected for national dues
was something over $7.00.
The teachers all had their rooms
in order for inspection. In the room
taught by Mrs. McMinimy the post-
ers made by the 4th grade pupils
were on display and showed much
talent along the line of free hand
work. In Mrs. Hinson s room the
penmanship papers were the main
attraction and it is wonderful to see
the great improvement her pupils
have made in the past nine months.
Mrs. Hinson is an exceptionally good
teacher in penmanship and musip
and we are all glad she is to return
to our school next year. It would
take too much space to enumerate
all the good things we know about
each teacher’s work, so we just say,
all have done splendid work, and we
are closing one of our best school
years.
The next meeting of the Club will
be held the second Wednesday in Sep-
tember. Program and refreshment
committees will be announced later.
This has been the banner year for
the Patrons’ Club work and we hope
it may be even better next year.
TEACHERS ELECTED
The following teachers have been
employed for the Luther schools for
next year:
George C. Wells, Superintendnt.
Agriculture and Manual Training,
E. R. Thompson.
Home Economics, Miss Beatrice
Hicks.
Sixth and part of Seventh Grade,
Mrs. Johnnie Lee Hinson.
Fifth Grade, Miss Elsie Wedertz.
Fourth Grade, Mrs. Geo. C. Wells.
Third Grade, Miss Moreta Burnett.
Second Grade, Miss Edith Cobb.
The High School principal, eighth
grade and primary teachers may be
employed this week. It is probable
that another high school teacher may
be employed, and that is very neces-
sary, if we are to have a teachers’
training course next year. This
course would be of great benefit to
the students who expect to teach
when they finish high school, and
many are planning to do so. Should
another high school teacher be elect-
ed, Mr. Thompson would devote half
time to community work, and that is
what the Smith-Hughes department
wants him to do next year. Mr.
Thompson has indeed been a great
help to our farmers and we hope he
may be able to give them half time
service next year.
SC HOOL BOM) ELECTION
TO BE FRIDAY, MAY 26
An election will be held in Luther,
Friday, May 26, for the purpose of
voting on the proposition of issuing
bonds in the sum of $30,000, the pro-
ceeds of which will be used to erect
a high school building. Every legal
voter in the district should attend
this election, so that we may get the
exact sentiment of the people on this
matter.—Advertisement.
Luther School Notes
BACCALAUREATE SERVICE
Last Sunday at 11 A. M., the
Baccalaureate service was held
at the High School auditorium.
Rev. H. L. Cloud of Hennessey
delivered an excellent sermon
and the music and program was
enjoyed by the large audience
present. The 13 graduates
looked quite dignified in their
caps and gowns. The stage was
beautifully decorated in ferns
and cut flowers.
CLASS DAY PROGRAM
The Class Day program given by
the Seniors iast Tue.-, lay night at
the auditorium, was the most unique
and clever program ever given hy a
senior class in Luther. Kvery part
was splendid and thoroughly enjoyed
by all. The auditorium was filled
to capacity, many standing in the
halls. Every member of the class
took a part in the program, and the
"Giftorial” and also “Class Opera-
tion” numbers deserve special men-
tion, because of being so unusual;
also the illustrations of the four
years.
Every pupil in Mrs. HinBon’s room
has won a penmanship credit and
their exhibit has been sent in, hoping
to win the $100 offered for the school
in the state that has made the most
improvement in penmanship this
term. Mrs. Hinson's room was one
of the four in the state that had 100
per cent credits, and we think this
is indeed a great honor, and she de-
serves much praise for sulh a splen-
did record. We hope her room wins
th $100.
The three others who were 100 per
cent were a room in the Tulsa and
Sapulpa schools and a rural school
near Oklahoma City that has had the
same teacner the past five years.
The Assembly program given by
Miss Heddens 2nd grade pupils last
Monday was exceptionally good and
was enjoyed by a large number of
visitors. The fairies from Flower-
land, and their flower costumes were
good, as were the songs and dances.
The High School basket ball team
of girls were called to the stage at
Assembly, Monday, and presented
with letters they had won for excel-
lent work done this year. They are
considered one of the best teams in
the state. Mr. Wells, their coach,
presented letters to the following
girls: Olive Crosby, Marion Wag-
oner, Fay Jones, Alma Sasser, Etta
Roberts, Opal Baker, May Hayes,
Elizabeth Keating and Goldie Critch-
field.
Mr. Wells gave a short talk at As-
sembly Monday, thanking the stu-
dents and faculty for their splendid
co-operation during the term.
The 4th and 5th grades and
their teachers, Mrs. Lloyd Me-
Minnimy and Miss Elsie Wedertz
will enjoy a picnic on Thursday
of this week.
The teachers who have been
taking a course in Junior High
School work took their final
examination last Saturday.
The annuals were received
Saturday and are selling like
"hot cakes.” They are indeed
a credit to a school of this size
and everyone who sees them
wants one.
They are only $1.00 each and
we think the class will have no
trouble in disposing of 300 or
more.
The members of the Junior
Class and those who assisted in
their play enjoyed a picnic last
Saturday evening.
There was a number of teach-
ers here last week applying for
positions in our school.
A letter has been received
from Mr. Jacobson of the Art
Department at O. U., saying he
would be glad to arrange for a
speaking date here early next
fall. Mrs. Lee Dunham who so
faithfully taught art in our
school the past year had asked
the art department to send a
representative over here this
year, but they can not come be-
fore fall. An art exhibition can
be held here, if the transpor-
tation is paid.
Prof. Wells was in Norman on
business the first of the week.
Miss Beatrice Hicks was in
Oklahoma City Monday evening.
Miss Scott and the 6th and 7th
prrade pupils held a picnic, Wednes-
day.
The school board has purchased a
complete set of new record books for
their use.
The final examinations were given
Tuesday and Thursday of this week.
Mrs. Clyde E. Dowell will serve
the Junior-Senior banquet at the
Ozark Hotel on Friday night of this
week at 8:30.
7TH AND 8TH GRADE
Some of the examinations have
been given. We will not hear our
grades until the last day.
We have made art posters and
penmanship posters this week.
Scott Blevins won a prize offered
by Mrs. Hinson for handing i-i the
most penmanship papers out of the
seven who did not have a credit last
week.
WILL PLAY AT OKLA. CITY
Miss Irene Crum has received
and accepted an invitation from
the county superintendent, Mrs.
Ida M. Hale, to furnish a piano
number at the 8th grade com-
mencement to be held in the
High School auditorium at Okla-
homa City on Monday, May 31.
