High School Pupils
Reflect Credit Upon
Themselves
On Their First Appearance.
a Large Audience Present at Their
first ENhibition-The Program
Rendered

The junior class of the high school
covered itself in glory at their first publ
appearance as class at the School Hall
last evening the occasion being the an
nual exhibition. Long before the enter
tainment commenced the hall was crowded
and many friends of those who took part
were unable TO gain admittance. As it
was all the seats were occupied and the
crowd stood in the aisles and in the rear
of the hall during the entire entertain
ment.
Shortly after s O'Clock the members OF
the class, twenty-six in number, filed on
to the stage and took their seats. The
stage was neatly and Hastily decorated
Cor the occasion with an abundance OF
flowers and ported plants and the class
cOlors, and altogether presented very
pretty effect. The program opened
with prayer by the Rev. DR.. Hunter.
Miss Mary Ayers gave an essay on the
subject "Our High School, which gave
those present a very good insight TO the
institution in which nearly everyone is
interested She spoke of the past of the
school and of the bright prospects for the
future.
Preceding the scientific experiments
which were the principal part OF the en-
tertainmcnt, Miss Florence Crossen gave
an interesting biographical sketch Of
Edison. The scientific experiments were
something entirely new in the way OF
high school entertain ment, but were none
the less very good. The word scientific
often conveys to people the idea OF a dry
uninteresting lecture on subjects which
the public does not appreciate to any
great degree. However, the pupils last
evening made the subj cts exceedingly
simple aud easy to understand and still
explanatory oithe point in view.
The experiments in pneumatics were in
charge OF Fred Gurk and Otto Linquist;
static electricity, Miss Nina Streeter and
Nora Nelson Leydou jar by Otto Kohl
haas; induced currents Miss Laura Rich
ards and Annie Sincock, and the dynamo
by Edwin Reederr. During the electric
experiments the lights we're out so as to
make the effect more striking. These ex-
pepments showed how the study OF phil |
osophy is carried on in the school.
The class prophecy by Miss Nina Var
son was we'll written, but OF more interest
so the rlass and the members of the
school than the public, although most of
the puns were understood by those pres
ent. ''Ad ice to the Seniors" was diff |
cult subject well handled by Miss Mabel
Foley This concluded the first part OF
the entertainment.
Part two included two of Howell's
farces entitled The Mouse Trap and
"The Fatal Message" The cast of char
acters in these included the members OF
the class who had not taken part in the
first section OF the program. They were
both well rendered and thoroughly ap-
preciated.
The entire program showed the result
OF much hard work on the part OF the
pupils and their principal, Miss Sanborn,
aud the success OF the entertainment
should be very gratifying alike to the
members OF the class and Miss Sanborn,
The junior class OF Lake Linden drove
up and attended the exercises. After the
entertainment the senior class nterta aimed
the juniors and the visitors to refresh
ments.
