High School Notes
Furnished by One Of the Pupils.
The High School reioices In the

The High School rejoices in the
steady Improvement of the? foot
ball team. The Improvement is
shown by the three games with
teams nearly equal in science and
strength. The first game was II
to 0, and second Ia to ), and the
third 0 to 0. At this rate we look
for them to win the next.
The faculty seem to think the
seniors are not busy enough, so
they are going TO add another
study. 1t will be either Virgil or
higher arithmetic.
Another frog ram has been ar
ranged for Wednesday the 80, to
be given by the High School
society. The public is invited to
attend and hear some OF. the best
talented performances of our
schools.
The football team failed to
come out even with the board
SATURDAY, so turn out the next
game and give them them lift.
Prof. Strong, after quoting
from the school-law that the
Scriptures may be read in the

WESTMINSTER
GLEE SINGERS

The Westminster Abbey Glee and
Concert Party are announced to ap-
pear at the Opera House on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday.
1t will be interesting to readers to know
that this company's last tour round
the world established a worlds record
in respect to concert giving. The par
ty travelled $1,000 miles in SAT days,
visited PIG towns, gave 800 perform
ances and made eighteen sea Journeys,
their repertoire consisting of 80 pieces
all of which were performed from men,
DRY.
The unusual combination of boys and
mems voices selected from the most
famous opponents of part-Singing in
England, has enabled them to present
a series of programs interesting and
enjoyable alike to the cultured musi-
clan and the enthusiastic amateur.
One of the most acceptable forms of
vocal music is undoubtedly unaccom-
panied part-singing, and the revival
of these ancient part-songs, gIees and
madrigals, which are classics in Eng
lish music, interpreted as they will be
by such a talented combination, Of
fers a unique attraction.
The party also illustrate the humor-
Gus Catch" so popular in olden times,
a form of composition in which the
words are caught up from one sing
er to another in such way that the
most serious lines are transformed in
to something humorous.
In addition to these essential feat
ures the solos of the boy sopranos,
and the humorous sketches of Mr..
Dudley Causton will be interesting and
novel.
a special matinee will be given on
Saturday Afternoon, at which students
and children will be admitted to all
parts OF the Opera House for % cents
The sale of seats at Wall, Nichols Co,
has already been a large one.
