Meeting Of
SCHOOL BOARD

Leonard Foulk was elected school
director from the fourth ward Monday
night to succeed d. Aust Lutz, who
has moved out of town. Mr. Orth
announced that a vacancy existed, ex-
planning that Mr.. Lutz has located in
Jersey Shore. having already removed
his household goods. He suggested
that successor be elected to fill Mr..
Lutz unexpired term.
Mr. Heiss nominated Leonard Foulk.
The choice seemed to be regarded with
favor and he was unanimously elected
as director from the fourth ward. His
term will expire in June 1908.
A. HI. Grone, chairman, reported that
the high school committee in conjunc-
tion with a.committee of the senior
class and the faculty of the school had
ield meeting TO consider the ques-
tion of class play to be presented by
the graduating class in connection
with the coming commencement. The
class, he said, had selected play, en-
titled: "a scrap of paper.
The number in the class is thirty
one, while the play has twelve char
acters. Mr. Grone said that the cost
entailed in presenting the play as esti-
mated by the committee would be lit
tie, if any, less than 5000. Considering
that the only room available is the
court house, it seemed doubtful wheth-
er a sufficient number of tickets could
be sold to meet all the expenses. This
doubt. Mr.. Grone said, was fully APP
preciated alike by the class committee,
the faculty and the high school com
mittee of the board. The first ques-
tion to dispose of, therefore, was who
should make up the deficit, in case one
should occur? Would the school board
hold itself responsible?
The matter was discussed at length,
but the board was not favorably i'm
pressed and thought it would be mad
visable to depart from the old and
established order. On motion of Mr..
