A large number of the students went home, but a11 of the faculty remained at the school except Miss Mar,g-aret Wade, who spent the brief vacation at McKean. Those of us who remained.were generously treated by our steward, Mr. Wellman. He had turkeys galore, with the usual fringes, such as cranberry sauce and celery, About thirty were here to partake of the elegant repast.

We, therefore, invite the same cordial support tor the coming year t~at we have received in the past. We want more subscribers to the DIAL and we want more students in our Normal School. Our school has passed that point in its history when it must speak for itself. It now has a constituency th~t recognizes its excellent qual.it!es, and that will do th~ necessary advertis1ng. Our next term begins on the 26th seemed to enjoy it most thorou,g-hly. -Mr. Clyde Anderson was the successful contestant for the progressive honors, while Miss Vina Bole succeeded in stayin,g- at the one table all evening.
