Now it has white curtains with red ribbons at the windows, a new floor, a globe of the world hanging from the ceiling, a map stand, a phonograph (temporarily out of order) with a few records, a water cooler, a mirror, soap and paper towels. Until this fall it had no electric lights, but Miss Campbell raised enough money for that by euchre parties among the parents...
