HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

AS announced last week the CliOn-
ion Club presented rhetorical exer-
cises Thursday afternoon and even
ing. Miss Maude Penland opened
the afternoon program with decla-
nation entitled, "The Tragic Fate OF
Mrs. Caudle". Miss Penland is a
good speaker and her defamation
was doubtless enjoyed by all. Miss
COlgin then entertained us with a
defamation entitled, "Scott and the
Veteran, which was well presented.
An essay by Miss Reimert on 1.-The
Indians of Montana" was both inter-
estiDg and instructive. Miss Hen
derson next favored us with decla-
nation entitled Extract from Mari
turf Salutamus" which was well rem
dered. Miss Maude Esse then enter
tanned us with tho defamation, 1.-The
Railroad Crossing" Miss Esse's
ability as an elOcutionist is so well
known that no further comments are
necessary. Miss Elva Cain then rem
dered in a very satisfactory manner
defamation entitled, 1.-The Bella
gard City, Miss Delaplaine then
entertained us with the popular poem,
"1he Old Family Jar", which was
very well spoken. "High Art Music"
was the title of Miss Daisy Hobart's
defamation and it is noflattery when
we say that it was very good. We
think there is a good lesson in Miss
Hobart's defamation for young
man of the High School who recently
entered the band. Miss Hattie Bru-
baker then read an essay on Natural
Gas, as a fuel of the Future" which
was very interesting and instructive.
Miss Eva Kinney closed the afternoon
program with recitation, The
jolly Old Pedagogue" which was
very acceptable.
Promptly at 7:30 Miss Katie Ausher-
man, president of the CliOnion Club
called the house to order and the
evening program was opened by the
very appropriate song, "Guard the
Flag" by the High School and we
must say that the pupils surely did
the song ample justice. Miss Lizzie
MCGEE then entertained US for few
minutes with an essay on 1.-THE Gus
toms of some of our Indians" which
was entertaining and very interest
ing. A declaration by Miss Ionic
Freeman entitled 1.-THE Brightest
Name on History's Page" was an APP
propriate selection. The quartette
consisting of Misses Harris, Reed,
Richards and Reed, assisted at the
organ by Miss Golf, hen sang Little
Johnnie Dugan" and in answer to a
hearty encore gave us 1.-THE Little
Alabama Coon" An Grafton by Miss
Swigart entitled blossoms |
from Washington's Life'' came next
and was an appropriate and well rem
dered selection. Miss Della Irving |
then recited "The Inventors Wife" |
which was very amusing and enter |
The "Clionian Olio", a
paper with Miss Ella Ewart as edi-
tress was next read and we must say |
it was very interesting. We would
advise Miss Ewart to enter the pro-
fession. "Littls Voices at the Door,"
3 duet by Misses Reimert and Wright
assisted at the organ by Miss Melon
aid, was next and was much enjoyed
by all. Miss Ausherman then de-
,lared ten minutes recess during
which the usual congratulations took
place.
Ten little girls from the lower
grades started the ball rolling after
recess by singing the old patriotic
'ong, "Red, White and Blue" 1t
vas well sung and the audience en-
,ored heartily and was somewhat sur
1rised when ten little boys came stroll
ing in and sang about George Wash
ngton and his little hatchet and how
lie would catch it. 1t was a very
agreeable surprise indeed. Miss Ella
POST then favored us with the patriot
C recitation which was well received.
)ne of the most interesting featu res of {
he program came next. 1t was a ,
Iebate, Resolved, There should be
10 educational qualifications for the
outrage" Misses Welker and Ham,
ton took the affirmative and Misses
