The School Dance.

Last Friday evening the Blackfoot
High School gave dance at the Ar
mory, which was a very pleasant
social affair. 1t was well attended
both by students and teachers and by
the general public.
The party was given for two pur-
posesA to have good time and to
make some money for the gymnasium
fund, and in both respects it was
highly satisfactory. The receipts
of the evening were $S5 in money,
and the receipts or assets from a
social point of view were not only
enough greater to give handsome
profit to all participants, but will
linger in memory with the teachers
and students to make school work
sweeter all winter.
We understand the Armory made
a generous reduction in the price of
their service, and the musicians
were equally generous in their terms.
We do not mention this to give the
next bunch a reason for asking for
reduction, but to let it be known that
everybody responded royalty because
it was for the Gym, and the Gym is
for the school, and the school Is for
everybody. To c. E. Kinney was as
signed the task of holding sack at
the door. Mr.. Fred Murphy donated
a generous supply of punch which
was nicely presided over by Mrs.
Eldredge and Miss Coumerilh.
Those who did not dance were
busy in social ways, and enjoyed see
ing the others dance. John G. and
Mrs. Brown were busy with coterie
of friends who wanted to talk. Judge
Stevens, Herman Stufiebeam, F. e.
DeKay and A. G.. Robert were among
those who caught the school spirit
and had as much fun as the boys in
their teens.
Mr.. Ryan of the Cash Store, and
DR.. Dibblee of the Cold Springs
Observation-Disclosures Ranch &
Milling Company Unlimited, were
busy trying to see which could have
the biggest time in the smallest
while.
Jas. Gray was up from his desk in
the Short Line Office at Pocatello,
taking change of scenes from the
locality where they pay their bills
with railroad script, to where they
buy diamonds with sugar script and
shuttle coupons for the glory of their
girl friends.
Prof. Aungst was happy in seeing
that everybody was introduced If
they cared for an Introduction, and
was contented when the couples
seemed to match up even and nobody
mixed their dates.
Will Cline, whose reputation for
luck in drawing packages of sweets
when there are lucky numbers mixed
with others not so lucky, seldom
missed dance, and each partner was
a package of sweetness.
County Auditor Curtis, and Man
ager Kestner of the Armory Company
were both busy and happy, and ad-
ded a generous share to the doings
of the hour.
Charlie Hart, Manager of the
Brown-Hart Company, was happy in
showing the courtesies of the hour to
H. G. Tavey and s. M. Browning of
Ogden, both stock holders of the
company who were here to attend
directors meeting, and incidental
ly to "size up" the local population
and take the measure of their loyalty
to the Gym-seeing that Blackfoot
has outdone Ogden in this matter.
No complaints have been register
ed yet about failures to have pro-
per amount of fun, though some have
observed that they had rather more
than enough, as indicated by the
ease with which they could rest and
