i Domestic Science Room one day last
week and we all enjoyed it very
much.
We entered the sewing room first

|ly it was furnished and the way it
was fixed up.
There were a number of sewing
machines placed in different parts of
bles en which the girls who are tak-
ing the sewing course had placed
their sewing bags. Some of the giris
were sewing while we were in the
rooms; they were working on towels
fancy work and other small things
I understood that they are to learn
later how to sew large, fine things.
We were allowed to look around
i the sewing room then we were led to
| the bedroom. It was furnished in
white and certainly was very pretty
to look at. Its object is to teach the
girls how to make beds. Many re-
marks were made on the neatness of
the room and the bed.
Later we passed to the dining room
which was furnished in oak. It was
very nice ‘looking and clean like the
bedroom.
After looking around the dining
room we started toward the kitchen
land on each side of the door stood a
girl with a large plate of candy in
her hand and every one of us was
offered a large piece which of course
we accepted. :
‘ The kitchen was arranged very
conveniently and I think would be a
pleasant place in which to work.
There were two large tables running
lengthwise of the room, and also =z
stove on which the candy and other
things were cooked.
After looking around the kitchen a
litfle more we passed into the laun-
dry. They had a girl to iron with the
electric iron to display it to us. It
ironed very easily and fice than the
flat irons.
. We spent about five minutes in the
laundry, then we passed back to our
own school room. We talked the most
of the day about what we saw and
how well we liked it.

NOTICE!!
The Girl Hikers of the M. H.. S.
wish to deny the statement concern-
ing their conduct at the Summit Mills
School, Monday night, Teh. 23.
Their motive for visiting the schools
was one of interest and they went to
witness and enjoy the program. How-
ever, they could see nor hear noth-
ing because of the disturbance in the
rear of the room. They were not the
cause of the annoyance and wish this
to be made known to the person or
persons who entered the criticism in
the Meyersdale Commercial. (The on-
ly criticism made, however, was that
the entrance of - such a large party
during the progress of the program
was disturbing.—Ed.)
The Firemen’s Basket Ball Team
of Meyersdale defeated the Salisbu-
ry Varsity Five on Wednesday night
at Reich's Auditorium with a. score
of 24 to 8. The vsitors could not en-
dure the sting of defeat and therefore
left the floor before the game was
properly ended. The spectators say
the game was a fair one,
