Harold Doolittle, reporter fore
man of the Pierce County Herald,
is an expert musician as we'll, and
his playing has occasioned much
favorable comment in the news papers
Of cities in which he has appeared.
The following is from the Hudson
Star Observer write-up of the
Hudson high school junior prom:
Everyone complimented the music
and especially Mr.. Harold Doolittle,
of Ellsworth, who manipulated the
drums, traps, bells and xylophone.
His playing was excellent, but his
xylopone solos were more especially
fine. He certainly is first class
artist in his line"

recently awarded the scholarship in

tiles. River Falls has reason TO be
proud of her students, cultured and
refined, who are going out into the
