The literary and musical entertainmeut
given on last Friday evening by the senior
class, assisted by the high school choir,
deserves more than passing mention. The
verdict of all present ranks it as one of
the most successful entertainments ever
given In connection with our public school.
First on the programme, Bert Evans
stepped forward in a manly and self-pos-
sessed manner, and rendered How the
Old Horse Won the Bet" So well did
he sustain the exciting spirit of the selec-
ton that the attention of the audience
was fully secured, and their enthusiasm
for the 'Old Horse" manifested itself IN
loud applause as the talented young
speaker retired.
Miss Marie Wedemeyer gave Poor
Little Joe with so much of pathos and
feeling than many an eye was seen to
moisten.
The Wedding Fee" a bright piece of
humor, was modestly and prettily recited
by Catherine Murray.
Hobart Martins illness deprived the
audience OF the pleasure of hearing the
defamation, Crime Its Own Detective. "
Mr.. Martin has many times in the past
proved his right to a high rank among
the orators of the class of 81.
Leah Ringolsky in Toms Little Star"
gained the admiration of the audience.
This was one of the most difficult selec-
lions on the programme, and the ease.
grace and elegance Of Miss Ringolsky's
gestures surprised even those who have
witnessed on former occasions her ability
in the art of expression.
The Jealous Wife, by Miss Minnie
Garland, deserved the appreciation which
it received. Miss Garland seemed per
iectly adapted to the selention aud rem
dered it in the most happy manner.
Leonard Deitrick surpassed himself in
the recitation OF "Lasca, " and gained a
place among the best speakers of the
evening. In gesture, incubation of voice
and expression OF feeling, he showed
great proficiency.
Miss Edna Bartlett gave in admirable
style two selections, The King of Dem
marks Ride" pathetic in character. and
Dame Friedegonde, of the humorous
order. Miss Bartlett is a young lady of
unusual mental ability and scholarship,
and her effort on this occasion adds an
other to her many accom- plishmeuts.
Many OF the audience had never heard
The famous speech which gained woman
suffrage in Wyoming" therefore. they
looked forward to this as one of the events
of the evening, and they we're not disap-
pointed. Miss WejemcYer had already
shown her power to reu Ter the pathetic
effectively, and she deserves as much
credit for her ability in the direction VI
humor. The speech was comic in the
extreme. and her delivery of it fairly con
vulsed the audience.
We shall only ecLo public sentiment
when we pronounce John Morrison's de-
livery of the Address of Snutacus to
the Gladiators at Capua, - a masterpiece.
Nature intended Mr.. Morrison for an
orator. Possessed of a magnificent
physique and a rich full voice, he seemed
in "Spartscus' the noblest Roman of
them all"
The music, under the direction of Prof.
Pasmore, was, as might have been ex-
pected, a marked success. There is no
finer musi, in Cheyenne than that rem
dered by the High School choir.
The entertainment. as a whole, re.
Elected honor Upon the class of 81 aud on
