It's out of his private stock and he tells me that it's been aging in wood for fourteen years. You've got an appreciative palate, I want your judgment on it." So saying, he poured out enough of the precious fluid to half fill a toddy glass and placed it in the eager hands of the old man. Watkins bowed low, put the glass to his smiling lips and then having emptied it delivered himself of this statement. "Cap'n John, when I'm daid and laid out, suh, do me a favor?

Unique Feature A unique feature in the Alvo school is the organization of a boys' cooking class in the Home Eco nomics department under the direc tion of Miss Melda Shoemaker. School Well Organized The Alvo schools are well organ ized for the year's work despite the fact that six of the seven faculty members are teaching their first year in the local schools. Miss Melda Shoemaker is the only old faculty member to return. The entire list of teachers is as follows: Miss Isabelle Ross, of Louis ville, first and second grades; Miss Leola Kroll, of Elmwood, third and fourth: Miss Georgia Sitzer, of Al bion, fifth and sixth; Harold Hucs tis, of Lincoln. Latin. English, di rects orchestra and sponsors school paper; Miss Olive Liddell. of LeMars, Iowa, social and physical sciences and library sponsor; Supt. Orville A. Buehler. manual training, athletics and correspondneee study; Miss Melda Shoemaker, home economics and. typing. The seventh and eighth grade .subjects are . .divided among . the four high school teachers. First year pupils include Jackie Miller. Ruby Louise Kellogg and Junior Puettgenbach. In the third grade. Roy Dringman is a new stu dent. In the high school. Raul Kel ley. Arlene Collins and Donald Whit ing in the ninth grade; Delores Wil liams in the tenth and John Horsh in the eleventh grade. There are ten tuition students this year. They are Donald Whiting, Ar lene Collins. Paul Kelley, Lloyd Alt house. Laurene Haertel, Ruby Tay lor, Howard Collins. Ralph Winn, Charles Clark and lona Weichel.

Due to so many last minute re placements in faculty group this year, the Alvo schools have dropped to third place in the percentage of membership in the Nebraska State Teachers' association. Two preceding years Alvo held first place for achiev ing 100 per cent membership. frucEters We are prepared to take care of your LIABILITY INSURANCE needs.
