The entertainment given in the
assembly room last Friday evening
under the auspices of the Badger
staff was a gratifying success. The
program was full of varied and in
teresting literary and musical num-
bers, and the good attendance
turned some money into the Badger
board treasury. The program was
opened by the appearance of the
Girls Glee Club, under Miss Will
let's direction, in two handsomely
rendered songs" Wouldn't You"
and Little Orphan Annie" Sing
ing with her usual charm, Miss
Campbell sang "Just Lonesome"
and Just by Laughing" Mr.. Guy
Owen, in very effective way, sang
"a Heart of Cold and an encore.
Professor Wright captivated the
audience with lovely little lyric,
whats a Girl?" Two songs by
the Male Quartet were received with
the applause that is wont to greet
these excellent singers. Miss Belle
Thompson played piano solo and
encore, and the Normal orchestra
played an intermezzo named Curly
and responded to an encore. Ac-
compartments to the songs were
played by Miss Kate Weber, Miss
Violet Uhlman and Miss Marie
RICHTER. The literary numbers con-
sisted of brief farce, "A Pair OF
Lunatics," presented by Lois Bed
dali and Ton Riley, and of several
readings. Miss Ethel Kolb recited
strong scene from the Palace of
the King" and Emma Kline read
Lady Clare" Miss Bertha Eloise
Hilton, of the faculty, made an ex'
ceedingly happy impression with {
sketch entitled Ann Millet's Cat,
by Mary E. Wilkins-Freeman. Miss
Hilton's Interpretation was SO exact
and her characterizations and hu-
NOR so vivid that the delighted au-
dience insistently demanded an en-
core. Miss Hilton responded with
a lyric of home life, MY Brown
Rose
