AND PUPILS


ment, given under the direction of
Miss Wetmore, the music teacher.
The public school entertainment is
always the event of the year in
Kennewick and this was no excep-
ton, in fact was pronounced the
best ever. 1t was evident that much
time, work and patience had been
used to train the pupils in the many
different songs and drills and the
words Of praise and commentator
heard ON all sides at the close of the
evening were we'll earned by both
Miss Wetmore and the performers.
Miss RoselIa Hamilton played the
accompaniment and deserves large
share in the success of the different
numbers.
We give a brief review Of the diff
ferent numbers on the program:
The program opened with a Choir
us by the High Scnool: This was
medley and in rendering. it the
pupils showed the result of careful
training and thoro understanding Of
the different tunes.
Topsy Turvy came next, and kept
the audience laughing at the, illu-
aions of the people upside down.
The acrobats were: Trina Bier,
MARGARET Hawkins, Lorene Kennedy
Ward johnson, Willie Jorgens and
Henry Rich.
The third number was THE IN
dian Rain Dance" by Beatrice Wat
BON, Margaret Beinhart, Ruth Cress-
we'll, Agnes Hawkins, india Smith.
Margery Tayler, Esther Larson,
Laura Olbrich and Audrey Bennett,
pupils of the 4th Grade. The stage
represented an Indian camp with
the tepee in one corner. The In
dians, attired in Indian costumes,
feathers and warpaint, went thro
the intricate measures Of the dance
and sang the touching Indian song,
"Redwing." The beautiful stage
setting and the highly colored Indi-
an apparel as we'll as the enhancing
music, made this one Of the best
features of the evening.
This was followed 10y the moving
pictures, depicting the lonely bach
elor, represented by G. F. Richard
son, Jr., searching for wife. He
certainly proved that advertising
pays as he received seven replies
during the few minutes his sign,
"Wife Wanted" was displayed.
The applicants represented the Flirt

Maid by Lulu. Holloway, Widow
by Mollie Godfrey and her children
Willard Shlfer and Lura Shanafalt,
Swell Girl by Louise Gravenslund =,
Literary Woman by Luella Cross

Mr.. Reilly proposed the adoption Of
the resolution. and said residents OF
the urban district had been in occupa-

had from time to time expended large
sums of money on them; and when
tile landlord wanted to dispose OF the
houses il was natural to expect him TO
give prrsfereEce TO the OccupieTs, but
