o-o DISTRICT NO. 100 NOTES -o-o- BRITISH AGENT TO BE AT ROXY; FILM IS ENDORSED 'V One of the pictures which has been given a good reception wherever it has been shown is that under the title of British Agent, a Warner production starring Leslie Howard and Kay Francis. This picture will be shown at the Roxy theatre Friday and Saturday, November 16 and 17. It is a splendid story of a love affair between a British secret service man and a beautiful Russian heroine whose love of country overcomes her personal fellings and she betrays her lover to the government officials. The almost incredible plot is very well carried out by the credible acting of the principals in the play.

This picture is recommended by the film survey.

While the women partook of their fruit cocktail, roasted beef and mashed potatoes, string beans, parker house rolls, fresh vegetable salad, pickles and olives, coffee or milk, and pie, a music ensemble consisting of Helen Lavicka with her violin, Cornelia Bona with her harp, and Alice Protech with her flute very graciously entertained them.

Twenty handsome young men of the college under the very able direction of Miss Virginia Russell acted as waiters. They sang two songs and were applauded so much they gave an encore. Mrs. Gossling gave a very lovely toast to the daughters, and Helen Smith ansewered with her toast to the mothers. After the dessert was served Eileen Slepicka led a group of girls in singing a reply to the waiters.

Between plays Mary Helen Mc-Murtry played a piano solo and Doris Olson sang a vocal solo. After the plays, a well-known authority interested in Little Theatre movements, Harold Ernsberger, gave a short inspiring address in which he spoke of the joy of living the life of not only yourself as the audience, but also that of the actors feeling yourself in the same place with them.

Each mother and each daughter carried home a little green and white program as a souvenir and some were lucky to get one of the huge chrisanthemums. On the whole, the banquet was a success and everyone spent an enjoyable evening. G.

Current events are made more interesting and more realistic to the eighth grade pupils at LaVergne by a device they are using this semester. A large outline map of the world drawn on cloth is mounted on a larger bulletin board. Clippings from newspapers and magazines of interest to them are pinned on the bulletin board by the pupils. A string leads from each of these clippings to the location on map where the event described took place.

These strings are held in place by pins with colored heads. Each color has a certain significance. They previously collected the headlines from the leading newspapers and magazines for a period of three weeks and decided the clippings in which they would be interested could be classified under the headings of economic problems, plies.

Another table represented transportation on a city street with its street cars, trucks, elevated roads, and other means of travel. The wall on' one side of the room was covered with pictures the children had drawn and labeled Transportation by Land, Water, and Air. A motion picture was made to which each pupil contributed two or more scenes, and a transportation song was composed by the group.

Upon completion of the unit parents were invited to school to see and hear about all that had been done. The members of the Art Club of Piper school are making chalk drawings at the present time.
