A most delightful evening was enjoyed on Thurs
day. July 20, at Abita Springs. There was fair at
tendance who witnessed the performance with atte-
ton and consideration. It was indeed surprising to
see how these young boys and girls took such an in
terest in their work of staging their one act farce
Jumbo Jum." William Steckler acted splendidly
in his capacity. Same is true of Emma Spitzfadden
Nicholas Morange as Jumbo Jum' the negroe
servant on Gobbetons farm interpreted all the es-
sentlal qualities Of his race. Mildred Cook, Leo
Steckler and Alphonse Casagne also did their best,
which made the play great success This play was
proceeded by song by Miss Anita Stecker, and a
reading by Miss Hlder Baker To add to the attrac-
ton, homely dialogue was executed by Miss Alma
SCHNEIDER and Miss E. Steckler. The performance
proved great success, indicated by the loud
applause from the audience of Abita and Covington
people. We highly appreciate the patronage of the
the Covington guests. Great praise and thanks are
due to Miss lone Smith, the eocution teacher, who
donated her services. VIM. Steckler, the instgato1
and Prof R. A. Smith, his accomplice, can boast of
having Melted thirty dollars out of the proceeds OF
thirty-eight dollars.
We are now going to connect water to the school.
