and boy in their "teens." It was IN
deed pretty sight to watch the youth

ripper years The scholars showed the
excellent tutelage of their dancing

ness. The highland fling, always popu-

Myra WILDER, who displays rare ability
in the Terpsichorean line. At the con-

children repaired to the dining hall to
partake of supper, and the floor was
given over to general hop which
lasted into the morning hours and was
greatly enjoyed by all. A committee
of ladies were willing volunteers at the
supper tables. Mr.. Thorn is to be con-
graduated over providing such de-
lightTul evenings entertainment, and
his friends trust his sociables may be-
come established events in Watertown.

gether with Mr.. and Mrs H. I. Eberle,
deserve high praise for the success and
| enjoyment of the occasion. Over $50
