vember, and December, exhibit material was prepared weekly for 
Pos. 42 and 18. 
At the Botanic Garden, every Tuesday during the fall, an ex- 
hibit was arranged for the B, classes. This exhibit carried out 
the theme of the day’s lesson, and was prepared and set up by 
Miss Sargent and Miss Marcy. 
All these exhibits have taken a great amount of time and have 
been most worth while, but perhaps have been too numerous for 
any one year. 
Special Departmental Features
