NORMAL NOTES
(From The Leader)
Elmo Meade was commissioned a
lieutenant in France in November.
Lieutenant Meade . may truly be (
proud of his record as his promotion ;
came wholly on merit, his rise being
due to work in the ranks from which
he rose with no special officer's train
ing. Lieutenant Meade will be re
membered by former F. H. K. N. stu
dents as being among their number.
Rev. Gerrit Snyder of the Presby
terian church of Hays is teaching the
Old Testament History Class former
ly taught by Rev. Rogers. The class
is quite large. It meets once a week,
on Monday at 4 p. m. With so splen
did a Bible student as Dr. Snyder
leading, the class expects much bene
fit from the course.
Saturday afternoon, January 25th
Mr. Soderlund invited those people
taking part in the "wax works" to
go on a hike. A. group 01 twelve met
at three o'clock and started toward
the picnic grounds. Some rather thril
ling experiences were had. Two of
the party "went over the top," climb
ing a tree on one side of the creek
and descending another tree on the
opposite side. The spectators agreed
that they made good "human squir
rels." A portion of the afternoon
was taken up by a sham battle with
snow balls. We hesitate to say how
many miles the party walked, but at
intervals on the long journey, they
were refreshed by the contents of an
enormous box of chocolates. On their
return they formed a line party at
the show.
The name of Ed Beeby of Hays ap
peared in a recent casualty list as be
ing severly wounded, but since Mr.
Beeby's (brother here has recently
heard from Ed. It is thought that
there is some mistake about it. He
is with the army of occupation in
Germany and writes that he is in the
best of health. This will be more than
welcome news to Mr. Beeby's friends.
Assembly officers for the first term
of the second semester were installed
during the regular student assembly j
Thursday, January 16th. The retiring
president, Miss Merle Caswell, ad
ministered the oath and presented the
gavel to Miss Agnes Arlington, the
new presiding officer. The other offi
cers installed were Mary Norris, first
vice chairman, Martha Harder, sec
ond vice chairman and Lorena Welty,
Secretary-Treasurer.
At assembly last Thursday morn
ing the time was taken up by the
Red Cross girls of the school. A call
had been made through the Red Cross
for everyone to put in as much time
as possible in the making of garments
for the refugee children of Belgium
and France.
Short talks on this subject made
by Olive Sunderlund, Alice Bergland,
Anna Stone, Victoria Unruh and
Merle Caswell were to the point and
fully explained everything that
should be and would be done. They
told of what a worthy cause it was
and urged everyone to do their part.
At the close of assembly slips of
paper were passed around to be
signed so an estimate could be ob
tained as to . how many workers they
would have. Judging from the num
ber who signed these slips the girls

"Give me your watch." It was not
a hold up but a "Stag Party" given
by Paul VanDyke and Ivan Grimes
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. W.
Oshant. The rule of the day was that
no one present should know the time
of night because no one was to go
home before a late or rather an early
hour. A certain Freshman "Aca
dem" got cold feet upon hearing this
and at his first chance slipped away
but was not missed very much.
After listening to some very ap
propriate music on the Victrola and
several hours of sociable card games j
in the parlor everyone went to the-"
hosts room where mental contests i
were the role of the evening. A 1
lunch of Grape Juice and Cakes was
then served alter which there was a j
story telling contest. A toast was 1
drunk to the one who could tell the
biggest "Lie." Samuel Long proved
to be the high scoring contestant. j
As all the watches had been chang- !
ed, no one knew at what hour they j
departed. A few were able to get up i
for breakfast. Those present were
Bruce Whitney, Karl King, Karl j
Knowles, Raymond Knowles, Chas.
Hawkes, William Nelson, Samuel j
Long and Ward Harold. Everyone ,
left feeling that he had been very ;
highly entertained and wished the
hosts many more such good times.
One who was there.
