| Summary: | Newsletter of the North Dakota School for the Deaf. 8 THE NORTH DAKOTA BANNER (Continued from Page 5,) Twenty-six hundred pounds of fine deots have beeu taken up and stored in the root cellar for table use. The past summer with its frequent tains and warm days proved favorable to a bumper corn crop. Our silo will not hold more than half of the corn raised. Monday morning the 25th Mrs. Read and her (laugher, Margaret Kathryn, departed for the University at Grand Forks where our young friend has matriculated. We are sure her few years there will be crowned with success, and hope that, she has already fallen in love with her new environments. Mr. Bennie Knutson, of the graduating class of '16, spent nearly two months at the School, assisting Mr. Osburn in the repair work. Me went, home for a few days before starting for Gallandet College. Bennie was one of our most dependable boys and he will be greatly missed by all. We wish him a successful year. Mr. O'Reilly, our driver and foreman on i lie farm for three years, has left, us for good after putting things in good shape, especially the garden which made a satisfactory yield under his care. Mr. O'Reilly and family moved to Seattle. On the way out there they stopped at Minot to visit friends and were met by some of the household here. We wish them success in their new field. Wendell Haley and Alfred Knutson left on No. 30 Sunday evening to attend college. They expected to be joined bv some of the students at St. Paul and Chicago. They a cre due to arrive in Washington Wednesday, Sept. 27, and to begin the grind the next day. Of course Wendell will act as guide to Alfred as the latter is a new man there and find the advice of an older friend worth having. Mr. Elmers Brooks, an old Illinois boy. dropped in on Mr. Read one day in July. He is a plasterer by trade. He has made his home for the past three years at Silva, N. D. His wife was formerly Miss Hattie Newell, educated at the Minnesota School. Mr. Brooks counted among his teachers—Miss Axt, Mr. Cleary. Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Spruit. He likes North Dakota for business and climatic reasons. Among the new pupils this year is Olga Granum who has attended the California School for two or three years. Her native state is Wisconsin, but her people moved to California several years ago, only to return when her father died last spring. She makes her home at Taylor, N. D., when she is not at school. It is natural that some of the old timers here should ask her questions about Mr. Riiude and his estimable wife. Frank Ivovar has the distinction of having killed two coyotes in the woods near Heart River during this summer. They paid the death penalty for depleting the chicken coop to the extent of twenty biddies. One thing he overlooked was the wolf bounty which would have kept him well supplied with funds for candy and movie tickets through the year. As he has a little bank account of his own at home, lie ■nightsay we should worry. The Morris home was made a center of social activity during the summer. Mr. and Mrs. Morris Imd for their guests, the mother, sister and nephew of the former, Mrs. Morris. Mrs. Corey and son George of Boulder. Montana Mrs. Corey has charge of the art and domestic science departments at the School there. She has a winning personality and her friends here were sorry to see her go when she departed on the first of September. Mrs. Morris will remain with her son and daughter-in-law during the winter. No one had a pleasanter vacation than Mr. and Mrs. Riuguette, the former, our engineer and eleetrieau and the latter tile first graduate of our School. They were away during the mouth of August visiting points in the west. The children were left with relatives at Jamestown. Among the places they visited were Portland. Seattle. Boise, Denver, Salt Cake City, Omaha, St. Paul, Butte, Leeds and Jamestown. They were well pleased with their visit and were in love with the country. Mrs. llinguelte has relatives out there, and she herself lived in Seattle a year before coming hack to keep house for her present partner. On the 25th the school was favored with a visit from Mr. G. W. Peterson, of Bismarck, and his daughters Misses Florence and Francis Peterson. They were accompanied by Mrs. O. W. Rostrum and Mrs. 1. YV. Dyson o( this city. Our Bismarck visitors, being acquainted with Mr. and Mrs. Kttniz and Mr. and Mrs. Patten, were especially glad to see Katherine Kuntss and Lucille Patten. They came up the hundred and ninety miles by machine. Mr. Peterson says that the School needs belter equipment for the industrial shops, and lie is right. We trust that our legislative friends will come and see just what we need and then make adequate appropriation to place the industrial department on a satisfactory basis for the most efficient work. A pleasant, broad smile, familar both lferein years gone by and in Minnesota, made its appearance again one da\ last week when the owner, Clarence Sharp, paid us a visit. Clarence has been employed steadily for years at a case in Owatonna. Minn., hut he is looking for pastures new. and has answered the call of his father to go to Seoliey, Montana, to take up land around there. His father lias a homestead recently acquired in Canada, but near enough to make the claims of his children which are on the side of the boundary, adjacent to his own. When Clarence lias enough of the wherewithal, lie may quit squatting, come back to slinging typo and set,tie down. He has got everything ready for the new home except the house and furniture. A coming event of more than ordinary interest to the people of this School and cit e has been announced in the lari-liault, Minn., Democrat of recent date: “About 00 guests enjoyed the hospitality of Mrs. Dwight F. Bungs ami Miss Bangs Saturday last at a delightful luncheon-bridge. "The spacious room*, darkened and fragrant with garden flowers, presented a delightful contrast to the glaring heat prevailing without. The guests were seated at small tables, and the place cards, cunningly contrived, made known the interesting news, which was the inspiration of the happy event—the engagement of Miss Bangs to Dr. Leonard Conrad Brusletten. of Kenvon. Miss Bangs’ table was in the beautiful dining room, and seated with her were a number of heist. Mary’s classma tes and schoolmaces. including many brides ami prospaotive bride> of t ie summer. After luncheon bridge was plnve.1. honors being won by Mrs. W. E. Blodgett and Miss Olive O'Neil, of St. Paul. Out-of- town guests were Mrs. Leslie and Miss Doris Losile. and Mrs.O Ned. Miss O Neil'tie Miss A la and Olive O'Neil, of St. Paul. Mrs. Blopm iuist. Mrs. Stanley McCormack and Miss Ruth Tnompson of Minneapolis: Mrs.Brusletten and Mrs. Feelev. of lOnvon an l Miss Baker of Northfleld. Friends from a distance as well as Faribault friends were grateful for the pleasant opportunity to wish Miss B.ngs in the future and and through her to extend sincere congratulations to Dr. Brusletten." There ui'e in,inv hero who remember Miss Bungs as a little girl whose life was interwoven with those of the girls of the School before she left to attend school and to live elsewhere. Every one of her friends here wish her the fullest measure of happiness in the now life into which site is soon to enter. The summer vacation found most of the teachers as far away from their field ol labor as possible. Mr. Long enjoyed the extra warmth of sunny Kentucky, his native state while Mrs. Long ami Miss Buchanan were guests of Mr. A. P. Buchanan, now Superintendent of the Industrial Department, in the Minnesota School for the Deaf, at his Faribault cottage on the shore of Lake Topeeton-ka. Miss Davis took up special training in St. Louis. Misses Harwood and Baeli spent their summer at their homes in Wisconsin. Instead of going to Texas as was her usual custom. Miss Jernigan remained in Devils Lake through the summer with the exception of the time spent, at Glacier National Park and other points of interest. Mr. and Mrs. Sheridan spent their last summer at their cottage at Lake Darling, Alexandria, Minn., the place since then having beeu disposed of. Philip and the habv were with them, while Richard spent his entire summer at Mohall with his grandparents and aunts. Miss Anderson had ail unusually pleasant summer vacation, the greater part of which was spent at Minot as the guest of her brother, Gustave and family, which was last July enlarged by the advent of another son. Congratulations.
