PACKED TO OVERFLOW.
Grange Hall Could Not Hold Crowd
That Came to see school Ma'am."
Showed Two Nights.

| Everything was done to keep the
crowd away from the "School Ma am
Friday night. The windows were fas-
tened, the curtains drawn. the doors
closed, and the steps torn up in frantic
effort to keep the crowd out that night
but still they came. IA full house,
doesn't describe the attendance. The
house was not only packed to the doors,
but there were actually people peeking
thro' the cracks in the doors, who had
bought their tickets and couldn't get
in. The show was repeated the next
night to another crowded hall and the
receipts for both nights aggregated
$55. The money will be used to pay
for pictures used in the decoration Of
the school rooms.
The show itself was no disappoint-
ment. Everybody agreed with the
board that it was one of the best
entertainments ever pulled off by local
talent. Every participant in the exer-
cises, whether on the musical program
or in the comedy, entered into his part
with the vivacity and energy of an
eager amateur, and with the pre-pos-
session and art of a professional of the
road. Every one of the amateurs were
stars.
The comedy portrayed the experiences
of a young school mistress in her first
"deestrick" school and every laughable
situation that could be imagined in con-
nection with common school life was
worked into the play. The musical
numbers rendered by the Primary
chorus and the High School chorus were
well received and Miss Blanche Ohm
stead's solos were also roundly ap-
plauded. The following was the cast:
