tonight. Besides seeing one of the
best plays ever acted in Lewistown
you will aid the Athletic associa-
ton.
We hope the pupils of Lewistown
will be liberal in their patronage of
the play, "The Blue and the Gray"
which is given for the benefit of the
Fergus County High School.
Third year pupils are especially
busy. There will be final examination
in plane geometry this week, and it
is necessary for those taking part in
the play to rehearse frequently.
This week marks the beginning Of
the second term of the school year.
In the first year class, physical geog-
raphy will take the place of physiol-
ogy. In the second, year class, plane
geometry will be taken up in place
of algebra. Other studies will be con-
tinued without change.
