Pine Grove school Entertainment.


snace TO report our school entertainment
al the Pine Grove school house, Decem-
her 10 II proved to be quite pleasant
surprise to all who were fortunate enough
20 have been there. For none OF us
ever dreamed of such talent being pos
sessed by our school children. Your
humble reporter, at the beginning Of
the evenings entertainment prepared
himself with pencil and paper to make
note OF each performance in accordance
with its merits. But after it was all
over. | glanced over my notes and found
after each, such as good, fine, excellent,
tip-top. alright, 0. K, extra good,
grand, and say, Mr. Editor, if all such
expressions were applied to each duty
performed it would only be an honest,
correct report. While | have passed to
the shady side OF life and have wit
messed many school entertainments, yet
[ must confess that this was the best l
ever saw or heard. 1t is very seldom
that a school entertainment has not
some little one who has forgotten
his sreech, or sometimes speaks in a
faltering tone, but such was this enter
tainment. Not misshap from begin
ming to end The little actors in the dia-
lognes were all stars. And il some OF
them don't climb the ladder Of fame we
miss our guess. We can't refrain from
giving prai se to our excellent corps OF
teachers, who labored so hard to make
this entertainment success. 1t was
their thorough and careful training

prise to all, and the audience showed
its appreciation of the teachers by Civ
ing them a rousing vote Of thanks.

After the above programme had beer
rendered. ,.then came the social feature
OF the evening. The ladies' had comt
laden with baskets filled with every
thing good to eat, and owing to their te
merity to go into the audience and Sc
lect companion to assist them in emp
tying their baskets, they hid themselves
behind canvas and sold their shadows
1t was quite amusing and proved sue
cess in getting every gill to eat witt
some other girls fellow. A prize CAKE
was ratified, and Miss May Perry wal
the. winner. A confectionery stand wai
another feature of success.
Some of the shadows sold as high al
$500 and were not very good looking
either. The general average of all bas
kets sold was over 81.
Everybody had a good time. and all
went home at 80 "broke," but as il
was fora good cause no one regrets the
spending of the money. The net re-
ceipts were $685., and it will be used
to assist in decorating the interior oi
the school building with pictures, books
and probably new organ.-PINF
