lust preceding the sale of the bas-
kets at their basket social on TINS

O'Clock and will last about n hour.

were quick in serving the large
number Of guests. The refreshments
were quite extensive for the number
Of people present, there being no less
than $50. The refreshments were
practically all donated by friends ana
patrons Of the school so that the ex-
pense was very light.
The net proceed Of the social
amounted to SO. 30, and this will GO
a long way toward the purchase of
pictures for the adornment of the
high school room. and when they are
installed the room will appear a
great deal more cheerful to the young
people who spend their time there
during nine months Of the year.
The social was a success in every
way and the promoters and the as
Sistants are entitled to considerable
praise for carrying out the splendid
idea to help equip a portion Of the
school building. The three rooms on
the third floor are well adapted for
such a use and it would not be a bad
idea to hold similar events through
the school year.

Nauneta Ferris recited. a number,
which also bad some local references
about her school mates. Louise Nc
Govern was on the program for a
vocal sCio and she gave very pretty
song indeed. She has an attractive
contralto voice that is strong and
sweet. Florence Winsor played the
accompaniment. H. G. Nichols and
his mandolin club played several Sc
Iections at the close that brought
forth great applause.
In one of the other rooms ping

number of the young boys and they
took great delight IN the game.
