All the features of the evening wei
excellent but the two songs rendere
by four girls, Misses Grace Pryor, Al
ma Fagg, Fannie Coppinger and Ma
Lasater, deserve very special mention
They had evidently been well traine
and their singing was spirited al
harmonious. The drills we're also e.
celleut and tableaux would have bee
good had the red fire worked" ju
right. The children did we'll in Il
dialogues, and the recitations a
showed careful preparation. MUG
credit is due to children and teache
especially as they were at work on Il
program only about three weeks wit
out interfering very much with Il
regular school work. Miss Irene Turl
err, a young violiniste of Jasper, pla
ed nicely and was of great assistant
on the program, and several piano s
los by Miss Randle filled in interve
ing pauses.
!, The decorations were suggestive

being used upon the stage.
