In the April 18 meeting of 135,

on hor visit to Florida during the Easter vacation.
She shov/ed tho class a pictorial
map and pointed out the places she had

"Our first stop," she said, "was in
Jacksonville, which v/as very cold, much
to ray surprise.
I had always taken it
for granted that al2L parts of Florida
were v/arm.
Many people, there, hovrever ,
were v/earing fujr coats."
Miss Ifaterbury spent her vacation
at Dolray Beach, about fifty miles from
Miami, v/hich she visited later. The
weather at Delray Beach v/as very hot.
One afternoon it was 107° in the sun.
During her stay at Dolray Beach she
travelled through tho surrounding counGry, where sh^ visited a pineapple plantation and an orange grove. "The greatest thrill of my trip v/as seeing oranges
.ind grapefruit growing," she told the
jlass.
Miss VJaterbury told about having
seen the irrigation ditches on either
jide of tho roads.
She said that the
sandy soil must bo irrigated in
order to grow anything.
Water for this
is obtained from a large lake in the
central part of the state.
Where these
v/atering systems are absent, only scrubby palms will grow.
Miss Waterbury visited the famous
3ok Tov/er, too.
"Tho most beautiful
•place I visited," she said in closing,
'was a church in Bcthosda-bj^-tlio-Sea."
I knov/ rfian^-^ of us would like to
\risit Florida, but tho next best thing
to an actual trip is being told about it

MILLIE'S REPORT CARDS DISCUSSED
Since the nev; style report cards
have heen coming out, there hp^s "been much
discussion arao]:]c'^ the students ahout them.
In the old style report cards there
was a definite x^^ji^cGntago given shov/ing
the individual's average.
This not only
included the test, "but also contained the
average classrfiark,
^he old style card
was easy for parents to compare the
month's marks v/ith those of the previous
months to see whether the pupil was improving or not.

SPRIHG FASHIONS
Women are alv/pys telling men hov/
v/ild their ties are, or that they don't
see hov; v/e can bear to v/ear suits with
such "fighting colors," etc
The v/omen arc, of course, entitled
to their ovm opinion, but so are v;e (I
hope).
How, women's shoes this year are
different„
Looking around me nov/, I see
one girl v/ith shoes which I believe to be
Ihitch,
They ^.ppear to be made of pieces
of v/ood, v/ith 0. strip of leather around
then, Hov/ girls ca/n v/ear those, and still
ser.m to be comfortable, will alv/ays be a
mystery to no.
I saw a shoo that looked like a
green ribbon tied around a wooden question r.ia.rk. This, by the way, costs sixtjr-five dollars. The modern lady's shoes
seem to be composed of holes.
^he other item in v/hich stylists are
now experimenting is hats.
The modern
v/oman's hat ranges from a Texas sombrero,
to a doll's hat, about six inches in diameter.
Some of the hats that liave a
"basin" in the middle are practical, for
you can throw v/astepaper, etc., into them
and save the street-cleaners ^/ork.
In case any of you ladies v/ould like
one of these hats, jiist take a medium
sir'.ed flov/er pot, tie some ribbons around
it, and you vrill have one of the latest
Paris fashions.
Yes, v/OMon may say v/hat they v/ant to
about our "horrible polka-dot ties," but
I think the sensible ones v/ill take their
v/ords back, if they just take a good look
in the mirror,
