conducted by Miss Ellie Keeiey, present
ed an artistic and appropriate Thanks
giving program to the students of the
high school and grammar department,
Wednesday morning i'll the auditorium.
The recitations and songs by the little
folks showed careful training. The
climax of the program was the little
drama entitled, Thanksgiving Then and
Now" Laura Cunningham, the Priscilla
of 1920 in her quaint little Puritan cos
tune, portrayed the character very eX-
prcssiveIy. While little Emily Matlack,
as Priscilla of 1909, in costume, capti-
waited the audience by her vivacious
manner.
Helen Hartzell made real Pocahontas
and tripped through the woods like a
real Indian child. Talented Ida Collins
as "Kathaleen' the Modern Maid" was
especially pleasing. The dainty and artis-
tic little programs were made by the
children of the class.
