THE ELco LN-WAsHlNGToN
ENTERTAINMENT.

The program and box supper at the
Elco school house Tuesday night, Feb
%, 1910, was regarded by everyone
present as big time" The house
was comfortably filed when the pro
gram began and the good attention
throughout spoke well for the people
OF the vicinity Those taking part in
the program were: lisa Craig. Edna
Craig, Stella Rhodes, Edna Rhodes
Bryan Rhodes, Flora Bonds, Harry
Bonds, Perley Bonds, Frank Rucker
Oscar Rucker. Xina Frazier. Lloyd An.
derson, Horace Anderson, Lawrence
Anderson, Margaret Roberts. Eddie
Bonds, Russell Bonds, Robert Reynolds
and Ben Hindeling.
There were about twenty-five boxes

OF the school.
From a financial standpoint, at least
the entertainment was the greatest
success in the history of the district.
