The Entertainment at the High
School was a very Pleasant
Affair.

After paying all expenses S21 40 was
realized as first payment on the
books of reference needed. Mr. Geo.
Copp, of Massaaytsen Academy won
the fountain pen given by Mr.. VIM.
Kline; Mrs W. G. Ford an
Misses Alice Coffman, Nettie Kneisley
and Katharine Hotel won the boxes
of candy given by Smoot & Walton
and Schmitt's Drug Store. These
prizes were won, not by chance. but
because of familiarity with books.
The Normal Training Department
gave two prizes for the best represen-
tations of books. Mr.. Moritz Coff-
man, as sFreckles," and Mr.. Rumsey
Marston as 1.-The Deerslayer' won
these prizes.
The entertainment was planned by
Miss Coppedge and the Students OF
the Normal Training Department
for the threefold purpose of creating
a greater interest in looks and read
ing among the students; having the
patrons and friends of the school meet
the faculty and students in a social
way; and last but not least, to in vito
the friends who appreciate a good
library to assist in a financial way,
in enlarging the Schmitt Memorial
Library, which can be made a great
blessing not only to the school but to
all the residents of Woodstock.
Misses Anna Williams and Virginia
McGill assisted in the candy booth.
Mrs. John Heller and Miss Hetty
Sutherland received the offerings at
the door.
Miss Alice Coffman added greatly
