THE SUMMER CLASSES

AS WE HAVE had requests from more than a few, who were unable to come to The Sun Center this Summer, to tell about the Classes and what was accomplished, we will try to make a little picture of it all, so that it may stay in the minds of those who are planning to come next Summer.
