Music: North SIDE High School
Orchestra
The contestants, eight in number,
marched into the hall shortly after s
o'clock and took their seats on the stage.
A large delegation of students was pres
ent from each of the contesting schools.
The delegation from the North Side
high school occupied the left section of
the floor, the orchestra of that school be
ing stationed at the head of the delega-
ton, near the stage A large banner
hung suspended above the heads of the
North Siders whose banners, pennants
and streamers vele red and blac,. The
Two Rivers delegation numbered about
fifty. They occupied section of the
floor on the left side of the hall. Their
colors were blue and orange. The South
Side delegation occupied the north halt
of the gallery, while the delegation from
the West Side occupied the south halt
of the gallery, The colors of the former
were orange and black, while those of
the latter We're blue and crimson.
The enthusiastic loyalty of the several
delegations to their respective schools
and their representatives, was well cal
culated to stimulate and inspire the con
testants for oratorical honors to exert
themselves to the utmost of their ability
in order to come up to the expectations
of their loyal fellow. students acquit
themselves creditably in the estimation
of the large audience and if possible,
carry off the honors of the event The
several delegations gave their songs and
wells in rotation the order being in
dicated by numbers on cards held uF
from the stage. The South Siders were the
first to respond. They were followed
by the West Side highs, who in turn
were followed by the Two Rivers dele
CATION. The North Side highs We're the
last to respond. They rendered their
songs and yells to musical accompani.
ment by the North Side high school
orchestra The several songs and yells
occupied, perhaps, the better part of a
half hour. The scene in the hall during
this quadruplicate demonstration was
one we'll calculated to be long remem
bered by the participants in the roofing,
which was characterized by a degree of
vim and enthusiasm rarely equaled on
similar occasions elsewhere. Each dele
CATION accompanied their songs and
yells by the swaying of their pretty
banners and the Haunting of pennants
and streamers The roofing gave evi.
dence of careful, systematic preparation
on the part of the participants; and the
rendition was so vigorous that the tones,
at times, surged through the hall with
deafening force, reverherated through
the roof and made the welkin ring.
Prin. A. A. Thompson of Two Rivers
presided and the judges were Pro
fessors w. G.. Hewitt and w. F.
Coolidge of Oshkosh and Prof. w. II.
Hunt of Madison.
After the roofing the program proper
| opened with music by the North Side
high school orchestra.
