Swannanoa PTA will hold Open House April 19. at 7:30 p.m., in the school, to give parents the opportunity to see representative exhibits and displays depicting some of the activities and studies of the year. These exhibits will include a variety of subjects such as: the arts, written work, maps, charts, science, social studies, and many others that are interpreta tive or creative. There will be no set program in the rooms but par ents may spend as much time as they wish, where they wish. Some will want to see the work of their own child’s class, and that done by the grade into which the child will go next year. Each exhibit and display will be in the class room and corridor adjacent to that room. Mrs. Glenn Brown is in charge of the program. w. s. c. s.

George Johnston had charge of the pro gram. “Christian Diseipleship To day". The hostesses were Mrs. Ned Burleson and Mrs. Nell Bass. April Fool Easter and April Fools Day coining on the same day caused April Fools Day to be put aside this year, appropriately that it should give way to Easter. Bui to me. this has been April Fools Week, as I have been told stories about: musicians hired to entertain railroad crews to help keep the men in time with their work: a buck rabbit that gets out of his cage and comes back at feeding time and climbs in the cage him self. There is such a dish as stone stew. What worries me is where are the fishing tales, now that fishing season has rolled around? Men's Club Approximately 35 members of the Men’s club came to the sup per meeting on April 2. Invoca tion was given by Rev. C. W. Bates.

The report given by Mrs. Loven and Mrs. Brown, concerning the Music Workshop they attended with Mrs. Cole, March 26, at Can ton, took the interest of those at tending. Miss Kimball, assistant to Dr. Hoffman, director of pub lic music for the schools of North Carolina, was the principal en tertainer. Miss Kimball told of the history of our church hymns, the type and purpose of hymns, and the proper usage of them.
