Noah, didn&#8217;t it rain! They all got off this morning, although the mountainside is a network of little torrents,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About midday the doctors from the <strong>State Board of Health<\/strong> the nurse, and someone who does the business end of things rode in to arrange for the tonsils clinic which begins tomorrow. They were drenched and had no dry change of clothing, as their bags were in the mail wagon, which had been wrecked on the mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last exercises for school: final vespers, special supper, and a very poor &#8220;As You LIke It&#8221; on a very shivery evening. <strong>Elsie Creech<\/strong> graduated from High School, and another girl who has been here since the first grade, Elsie spoke on &#8220;Do the Mountains Need Me? and <strong>Becky May<\/strong>&nbsp;[<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=26674\">Becky May Huff<\/a><\/strong>] on weaving and vegetable dyes in which she is proficient after four year in the weaving room,. She illustrated her talk by showing different materials and she&nbsp;wore a dress she had woven herself. We had a good speaker, a Presbyterian minister fro Cincinnati, and lots of parents and neighbors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was a fine exhibit of the best of the year&#8217;s industrial work: underwear, baby clothes, furniture. One boy had made a model loom, not ten inches high, completely set up; another a beautifully inlaid checkerboard of black walnut and basswood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>See Also:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.pinemountainsettlement.net\/?page_id=1668\">EVELYN K.
