S. fash¬ ion show that will take place or the lawn. A scarf dance under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Jensen is also planned. Musical entertainment for the afternoon includes to P. J.

Ewing, when an evening every semester was set aside for parents to follow the regular class schedule and become acquainted with the faculty, have the class¬ rooms formally opened their doors to inquiring visitors.

But as “Be Kind to Animals” week again rolls around, Coach Le- land C. MacAuley can’t forget his faithful setter that until last November used to follow him about the campus. It was through the first act of kindness that the two became the closest of friends. Mr. Mac¬ Auley first saw his canine pal when he was a little, mangy puppy, suffering severely from distemper and eczema. Baths of sulphur and doses of raw eggs and medicine brought him back to health. In gratitude, Banshee unquestioningly accept¬ ed his benefactor as his master. “Gosh. I certainly miss him,” said the popular coach. “I used to take him out into the wilds with me. No man ever had a better friend. For 12 years he was always by my side, until finally he died of old age. “I think that this ‘Kindness to Animals’ week is a fine idea,” opined .Mr. MacAuley, “but every week ought to be, instead of just one. I always remember that kindness won me one of the best pals I ever had.” A.W.S. Helps With Banquet Work Along With P.T.A.

W. S. Spring Fashion Show, is in the polishing process for the presen¬ tation April 26. The Fashion Show is to be held in the auditorium at 3:15 p. m. for the depression price of 10 cents.
