Tho closing exercises of the Fort
piorce High School, which were held in
,bs Club house auditorium Tuesday even
irg were witnessed bya large audience
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather The exercises on this evening
ware confined to the pupils in the ad-
vanced grades of the school, and the
ability with which each performed his
or her part proved that many hours of
hard work had been spent in the pre-
marathon BY the pupils and teachers.
Bunting and the national colors were
generously displayed in the decoration
Of the stage and adjacent points of the
hall, while the piano and stage front
was a bank of roses and other flowers.
The Fort Pierce orchestra opened the
exercises with couple of their best
selection, rendered in their usual good
style.
The next was contata 1.-The Triumph
Of the Pixies by twelve girls and four
teen boys, which was to say the least
beautiful. This scene is laid in Fairy
Land and the first scene shows all the
Fairies enjoying themselv0 immensely
when the King of the Pixies appears
and claims he is the proper ruler of
fairy land. He is sent back to his
people with jeers ringing in his ears.
The second scene presents the Pixies
in full uniform ready to press their
claim to the throne for their king. At
ter consultation they visit the Fairies,
and the embassy of the king presents
undeniable proof of their claim to the
Fairy queen, and a general consultation
is held in which all the Fairies and Pix
les participate. A satisfactory adjust
ment is reached by which the king and
queen occupy the throne together, and
all agree to quarrel never more.
Every part was carried out to an ex-
cellent point, and special mention should
be made of Master Clifton Halliday as
king of the Pixies, and Miss Ollie Pad
gett, the Fairy queen; while the dance
BY little Miss June Summerlin and
catchy songs by Ray Saunders were ap-
pauded to the echo, and each were
