HIGH SCHOOL

| Cuey nave ndu 1Or long, long Time
when Prof. Kreegan, of Fargo Col
lege, spoke. He took as his text the
words of Laird, "Be thou strong.
show thyself the man." His address
was so clear and so filled with inspir-
alton that it will be remembered for
a long time.
The fan. which has been lacking
for so long. has been put in place and
actually set in motion. So the ven-
tilation system of the high school is
almost complete. 1t was hoped that
during the holidays the walls might be
re-decorated but it is feared that
there will not be time for that. tho
they need it ever SO badly.
The program given Wednesday aft
ernoon by the Quill society was a
complete success. The meeting was
called at 2:4O by their president,
Harry Nelson. The eighth grade at
tended and we were also glad to see a
number of outside visitors there.
J Since it was so near Christmas the
numbers were nearly all appropriate
for that season. From the chandelier
hung a real Christmas bunch of holly
and red ribbon.

The program was certainly credit
to those taking part and to the whole
high school. The conversationals were
we'll given and those who dressed for !.
their part as Inga, Alice and Kate did
were especially effective.
Stanley's Christmas story was told
in the first person and took we'll. This
story of little boy who played Santa
Claus with his sisters fur cape and
furs, his mothers workbasket and
with the aid of the chimney, for his
brother Tommy's pleasure. with little
success, simply delighted everyone.
Margaret's story came next. A
story made for the occasion and was a
"splify" drive on the faculty. It
was written and given as only Marg.
could do and the pictures it brought
up of few imagined school days of
the venerable faculty were simply
killing. One of the teachers was
heard to say that it was the best
thing he had heard in a long time
even if he was one of the "victims. ="
The Christmas wishes by the Fresh
men, some original and some quoted,
were all good and appropriate.
The musical numbers deserve spec
ial mention. Miss Raabe's German
chorus sang two popular Christmas
songs and the parts were we'll harm
onized and the words distinct.
The girls solos were very pretty.
Macs was a Christmas song and a
beauty. Etta's was a love song.
The Juniors better be glad they have
Mae and Eta to sing for them.
Everyone enjoyed the Quill society's
program and we hope they will hurry
and have another.
