church.. Members of the two classes

board and High School teachers
were invited. After an hour of
social chat during which time the
Seniors served ice cream and waters
and the Harmony Trio played, an
entertaining program was given.
Mrs. Sackett and Irene Graves
executed difficult and harmonious
piano duet which was heartily en-
cored. The reading of the "Cruci-
fixion" by Mrs. Fitch was one of the
best numbers of the evening. A
musical accompaniment played on
the piano added greatly to the eff
fectiveness of the reading. Upon
being encored Mrs. Fitch again APP
peared with a number prepared es
pecially for the occasion bu. not for
an encore. In it she told in rhyme
how she had seen the Juniors and
Seniors in a dream, how they had
fitted by her in Dream Waltz.
Pleasing characteristics of each one
was mentioned. The idea was a
good one and the result pleasing to
all. The reading was accompanied
by beautiful waltz played by the
Harmony Trio. Fritdjof and Mae
Gilbert favored the audience with a
musical number which all enjoyed.

happily. Supt. Peters was then
