Another School Entertainment.

That the present term of Benton High
School has been successfully conducted is
evidenced by the fact that the entire fac
ulty Of the school was reelected to teach
another year. It is with sense of pride
that the writer calls attention to this fact,
and especially SO as such is the exception
rather than the rule. Not only the resi-
dents OF our town, but the entire commu-
nifty feels proud of the record being made
in the school, and rightly so.
The term will end next week and it's
close will be celebrated on Friday evening
by program that will no doubt attract a
large crowd and not fail to pleasantly en-
terrain.
An admission fee of 35 cents will be
charged, the fund thus derived to go to the
school. All pupils in the school and all
other children under ten years of age will
be admitted free Of charge. The pupils
have been carefully coached in their sew
eral parts and the entertainment will be
easily worth more than the price of admis-
sion. If you follow the crowd you'll see it.
Here is the program in full:
|. Opening song, Louisiana the school.
2. Flag Drill.
8. Play, aLittle Red Riding Hood" in four
acts
4. Doll Drill.
5. Defamation Contest Boys OF the Tenth

6. The Jolly Farmer Folks.
7. Defamation Contest-Girls of the Tenth
and Eleventh Grades.
