Last montb we decided at the council meetlnc to have an Honor Roll in the Girls Have Great Ft1n Dyeing Eggs for Easter Hunt Anyone who happened to look Into the cooking room of Stolp school last ·Thursday morning, would have witnessed a busy scene. The eighth grade girls were dyeing easter eggs for the egg hunt, which was to be held Saturday at the Village Green. Mrs. Storms and l\lrs. Freeman were the willing helpers and supervisors of the girls' work. The Playground and Recreation board furnished tbe eggs and dyes. When we arrived we saw many pans filled with eggs, which were cooking. After all. the girls taad arrived we set to work mixing our dyes m small pans. It took the eggs quite a while to get thoroughly cooked, but they finally did. Each girl took tbret- or four and started dyeing them. 1\lany prettily colored eggs were taken out of the pans. After a while we dyed eggs with more than one color, tbe result being quite etrectlve. Little by little the cases wer e refilled, this time with brightly colored eggs replacing the white ones. After all the eggs had been dyed, we were surprised to find it very near noon time. The morning had. passed so delightfully and so quickly we could hardly believe It was so late. After we had washed the pans and cleaned up the tables we had ooen working on we left for home. -.Janet l\lcConnaugbey, SA Howard Councillors Have Busy Meeting in Library at Stolp The Council meeting held every Tbursday during remedial period in the Stolp library and attended by all councillors for the purpose of discussing the affairs of the school. Is an interesting place to visit for one-half hour. The last meeting is reviewed in the following article : The presiding officer for this meeting (a new one Is chosen for each meeting) opened with the usual saying, .. The meet.ing will come to order and tbe secretary will read the minutes of the last meeting." Then the roll is read to make sure there is a representative from each room. Then the business begins. · Miss Stevens, tne school librarian, gave a small lecture and made a few suggestions on tbe use and care of the library and bulletin board. A number of important points were brought up by Miss Hayes, sucn as the new picture In the library which the art league is considering buying as is memorial to Miss Caswell. a former art teacher who died last year ; to look for items of interest to write up for the JUNIOR LIFE; pay for graduating pins immediately ; and an announcement that a record of each pupil will be sent to New Trier. The meeting was adjourned at 9 :15 o'clock. -Mazie E . Mouat, 8B day preOOdlng Easter, some 20 eighth grade girls wencJed tJteir way to the Domestic Science room in the Central school to help D. M. Davis, director of recreational activities in Wilmette schools, play Easter bunny. As representative of the P. T. A., Mrs. Herbert Leacn, Mrs. H. A. Storms and Mrs. E. H. Freeman, were also there to help. Even the janitor of the building and the genial director of boys gymnastics, :Mr. Stone, were there to lend their aid in doing the job in good shape. This dyeing of eggs was done in preparation for Wilmette's annual Easter Egg hunt for the little tots. As a result of the morning's work, about 1,000 <·ggs were dyed. They were every color of the r,inbow. royal purple, golden yellow, scarlet, green, pink1 lavendar, and delicate spring-like hues. In the mind of the passerby there might have arisen the question whether it was more fun to bunt the eggs or dye them. Even washing dishes and scouring pans seemed a pleasant job In such jovial company. It was altogether a success, very few eggs being broken. -Emma Kickham, 8A Stolp ... ....
