to greater or more discernible de-
gree, and this praisewortby spirit
has extended even to the hundreds
of homes Of pupils in this city and
vicinity. whereby the interest of
parents has been awakened beyond
the ordinary extent. The prime cause
of all this is attributable to the etfic-
lent and painstaking corps of in
structors, more than to any other
source.
And what is the result? One of the
happiest and most satisfactory term
nations of school year imaginable,
and as bright, warm-hearted a class
of graduates of which any high
school in the state can boast.
In addition to the customary COM
mencement exercises, our citizens
were served with rare and well
conducted entertainment Wednes-
day and Thursday evenings of last
week, which SO fascinated one and all
of the exceptionally large audiences
that the teachers and scholars were
practically forced to accede to the
popular demand to repeat the enter
tainment, which they did Tuesday
evening of this week. The entertain.
ment consisted of chorus, trios and
quartettes by high school students,
address by president of senior class,
drill and song by twenty boys, Japa-
nese drill by twenty girls, all from
the lower departments, ii farce play
entitled "The Elevator" by the senior
class, the whole concluding with the
mantle address and junior response.
Nothing has taken place in Mineral
Point for years which pleased the
people more. The unlimited praise
heard from every quarter is none too
strong, as the efforts, time and
patience necessary to present the
strong features of this entertainment
in SO mastery degree clearly repre-
sent much extra studious labor on the
part of teachers and scholars at this
particular time when so much is re-
quired of them in preparing for the
close Of school. Glass play program:

While all of the teachers strived
necessarily and successfully to bring
abont this happy result, specia! men
tion is due Miss Eta M. Jones, as
sistant principal, who had in charge
the drilling of the little folks who
performed their parts with such adj
mirable precision, and of those whose
singing proved so harmonious and
enchanting to all ears, and who also
participated actively in instructing
for the class play. 1t has been clear
ly demonstrated to the people of this
community that her talents in this
direction are exceptionally strong,
which, with her abilities as an in
structor in the school room, make
her a desirable and valuable men,
Der of any public school faculty.
