Undoubtedly some thought that the
High School Band was no more as
they have not been heard outside of
the band-roomfort the pasttwo months;
but such is not the case as was prov
en- by their serenades given on Mon
day last, They marched from the City
Hall to Mel. Blied's dry goods store
where they played a couple of pieces.
The boys did not forget that enter
prising firm of Jacob Bros. & Mack,
across the way" who last spring
gave them the finest set of band hats
| that any band has ever had in this
city, for they played two or three
pieces to the best of their ability, in
front of this store. Then, Fred jacob
not being satisfied by giving the boys
such a fine set of hats, sent them down
to 5. Z. Hansen's store to get a treat.
After receiving this grateful gift they
played couple of times in front of
this grocery store and then marched
from there to the Minneapolis store
on Third street. After playing in
front of this large store they were in
vited to come ir and take a treat
which they did in grand old style.
From the Minneapolis the boys went
over to A. Dahlem's large and we'll
equipped clothing and dry goods store.
Having played couple of pieces
there they received for their services a
large sack of Dahlem's best apples.
AS it was getting late and the boys
fingers were nearly frozen they left
this firm and went home. Taking all
in all the FL. S. B. enjoyed the even
ing very much even if they were cold.
Their harmonious instruments could
be heard over all the city and many
say that the H. S. B. sounded fine.
They could not have chosen better
evening for their serenades as it was
perfect moonlight night, still and
clear. What's the matter with the
High School Band? They're all right.
You would have thought so if you
had heard them last Monday eve.
Miss Jahnke, the teacher of the
Fourth grade was absent on Tuesday

will be back at school.
One of the boys of the Caesar class
came to school wit his Caesar looking
as though it's owner was very hungry.
On Monday last a new? stove made
it's appearance in the chemistry labra-

On Tuesday last, the bulletin board
in the upper front hall was decorated
with a very attractive group of four
or five of our High School boys.
The junior exercises were postponed
on last Friday SO that they could have
their exercises and Junior Day on the
same day. They would have had their
day last week, but their badges did not
arrive in time. Just watch for their
colors.
AS it showed on Wednesday, play
ing football was changed to the game
of fox and geese by the ''little kids. I"
