HIGH SCHOOL

Diamonds and Hearts, won not
able victory last Thursday night. The
romantic little comedy presented by
the Seniors, delighted an appreciative
audience. The parts all seemed
particularly fitting for the actors not
even expecting Martin as.
The leading parts taken by Florence
Ortman and Harry Nelson were well
played thruout. Farmer Bub lacked
nothing in naturalness as Edwin had
undoubtedly been there before, while
Martha Knutson suited Hannah's part
as housekeeper almost perfectly.
Robert Darling in the double role of
Dwight Bradley and Hans Won Smash
made great hit in the latter. The
complexity of his mental and verbal
tangles was marvellous. The dramatic
scenes were always successful with
Mary Peerboom as stepmother. Hilda
Kohl and Clara Rasmussen as sister
and friend of the heroine. proved
charming entertainers whether for
the doctor or for Farmer Bub. Martin
Berg, as the inimitable colored waiter
and Olaf Satter as the Strong Arm of
the Law completed the caste. Alto
gether the playf showed considerable
natural talent and much hard work in
training.
On Saturday May goth the Morris
High School went to Benson and were
defeated by the close score of 6 to z.
The game was ten innings in length
and the last two innings very exciting.
Errors were responsible for a large
number of Benson's scores. Morris
scored first, running in four scores in
the 3rd inning. At the end of the
eighth the score was 6 and 6 and nei-
ther side scored in the 9th. In the
10th few more errors and the game
was presented to Benson. Satter
pitched good ball but was given poor
support. Next Saturday we play Glen
wood at Glenwood and the town team
on Decoration Day completes the
schedule.
Mr.. and Mrs. Beise very pleasantly
entertained the Seniors and few
others at their home on Monday even
ing. The plan of amusement for the
evening was a series of contests and
prizes being beans which were to pay
for the supper which each might
select for the bill of fare, when all
the guests had arrived each was
given a little bag containing three
beans as "starter'. Margaret
Stenger presided as school teacher for
the spelling contest. Next Mr.. Beise
tested our throwing ability, by hav-
ing each throw a bean bag into box.
The skill in hat trimming followed and
each proved a professional. A slip
was given to- each boy telling them
of the "stunt' they were to preform,
other contests were held and at the
close each one managed to get enough
beans and thru the generosity of the
fortunates, the unfortunates were able
to buy their supper. After this a
short musical hour closed the evening
and each departed declaring they had
the most glorious time.
The Seniors mailed their invitations
Thursday. They are little late but
they are so pretty we could we'll wait
a little for them.
The SPP club seem to be getting
the picnic habit to-. They are plan
ming to 60 out to the lake Saturday or
Sunday. We advise that they go
Saturday, for it is sure to rain good
and hard Sunday, since that is the
day the Seniors are to get their
sermon.

Watch for the bills for the School
Entertainment to be given tonight.

We're taking exams to day, folks.
We thought be better tell you cause if
we don't look very happy you'll
know that's the reason.
If you want to go on picnic let
the class of 1911 choose you a day.
They certainly know perfect picnic
day when they see it coming. Last
