New Ulm review., 1912-03-13

| -
The Senior Class have an announce.
ment Of their class play in another
column. The play is to be given May
3rd At Turner Theatre and promises to
be we'll worth seeing.
New primary classes for beginners
will be formed next Monday, March
18th, at the Union and North Public
School buildings. No new classes
can be formed at the Washington and
East buildings this spring, because OF
lack of room.
The Senior Class had . meeting
Friday night after school to choose
their graduation invitations. There
is q large class this year, being more
than twenty who are assured of CON-
pleting their work.
The Literary Societies Of the High
School gave their monthly program
last Friday afternoon at the High
School Auditorium. The program
was q good one. The essays we're
both we'll written, the orators of the
day had chosen two very dne selections
and gave them with spirit and
eloquence. The original stories were
original in actuality as we'll as name,
both of them dealing with school day
topics and the recitations were we'll
given and amusing. The exercises
began with the singing OF the High
School song and we're followed by the
State College song minnesota, Hail
to Thee" There was one other
musical number on the program, a.
chorus and an encore by the Girls
Glee Club under the direction of Mr..
Bred void who surely has succeeded in
training the voices of the pupils so
that when they sing the listeners have
real treat. Nothing is more pleasing
than clear fresh young voices when
they are trained for sweetness with
all straining for volume eliminated.
Their selection, while perhaps q bit
difficult for them, showed careful and
faithful work and the result was
charming. The big interest centered
in the debate on the Parcels Post
question. Clarence Hess and Harry
Joern contended that the parcels post
would be good thing for this country
while the negative was upheld by Ben
Wiltscheck and Martha Reinhart.
We will give in our nextissuethe direct
argument by Miss Reinhart and think
it very we'll prepared and especially
we'll delivered argument against the
parcels post institution. The speech
by Clarence Hess in rebuttal was also
very good as it showed he had his
subject we'll in hand, and gave evidence
of quick and accurate thinking.
There we're number of
visitors present, among them being
Mrs. Engel, Mrs. Mayer, Mrs. c. A.
Zelle, Mrs H. L. Beecher and
Herman Held. The judges we're F.
W. johnson, W. H. Dempsey and
Rev. Sauter. They gave point to
the negative on the direct argument
AID point to the affirmative on re-
buttal, thus giving the decision to the
negative side. Mr.. Peterson who has
the debate work in charge deserves
considerable credit for the results he
has secured in this line. The complete
