yet at their August meeting on
tfe? 16th. Tka hosts, Mr, and
Mn. Oaf It. Goodman, went
all-out to make the' occasion a
memorable one. Bach was to
bring his or her own- lunch in
a pail, bucket, basket or any
thing typical of the days of the
old fashioned school and to
dress in costumes recalling the
country school of the first
years of this century. Amaz
ingly, practically everyone com
plied and the meeting began
with gay greetings and com
ments about the fancy and ridi
culous garments and make-up.
It would be difficult to say who
would take the prize for the
most unusoal, comical, or typ
ical.
At the luncheon, to which the
Goodmans a d de d tempting
items, all were seated around
the stone table on a terrace on
top of a rock cliff overlooking
Hounds Ears, or on the ter
race and open places about the
house. A very lively conversa
I
tion was inspired by the uni
que costumes and the variety
of food.
Mr. Goodman served as
teacher, calling the roll and
taking up groups of four at ?
time to recite the ABC's or to
recite in reading or arithmetic.
A set of rules governing the
behavior of the restless pupils,
such as no whispering, giggling,
making faces, chewing gum,
tattling or climbing on top of
the house. Because of some in
fractions of these rules the fol
lowing boys and girls had to
submit to switchings: Hr. Tom
Price of Blowing Rock, for
smoking and interrupting, Mr.
Neal Blair for tattling, and
Mrs. Ed Ray for general mis
conduct and making a nuis
ance of herself. Mrs. Margaret
Kephart, Mrs. Pearl Bingham,
and Tom Price were put on the
high stool at the front of the
school-room to wear the dunce
cap for whispering and other
serious offenses. Many who
were not caught at it were
guilty of whispering and throw
