was the Sth grade mencemeat
program given Saturday night in the
Assembly room. A pleasing and sue
cesstul innovation was the rendering
Of the program in the afternoon to
accommodate the children and patrons
who could not attend in the evening.
Hitherto at graduating exercises the
presence of large number of noisy
Iuviniles has greatly incommoded the
the older people. Certainly in the
matter of arrangements the principal
and teachers deserve much credit for
securing the most orderly commence
ment the Dewey has ever held, AL
together about seven hundred people
attended the two performances.
~ The program itself was one of the
very best ever given by grade class
in the city and Miss Robertson aud
the class deserve all the many con-
gratulations they received The
operetta "Pocahontas" proved
catchy little farce especially as no
pains had been spared to provide the
young actors with elaborate make ups
and appropriate costumes.
1t is very difficult to select anyone
for special mention as everyone did
his part well. In the leading roll
Helen Robb acted the part of the fam
GUS Indian princess Pocohontas in a
most creditable manner. Indeed she
proved to be almost an ideal Indian
girl. Ernest Armitage as Powhatan
was an able support After seeing
viii Ban S in the role of captain John
Smith everyone now knows how the
famous old fellow looked and acted,
the same may be also aid of Heishei
Bird in the part OF successful lover,
John Rolfe. In the two other leading
roles equal praise should be given to
Julia Bird and Emmett keaough, The
school is much indebted to Miss Gates
and Miss Beebe for some very fine
music. The class was presented to
Supt Jackson by Principal Shong.
