Every Evening up to Friday
Night Brings Some
thing New

Last Friday evening the annual
exhibit of the Ely schools was held
at the High School Auditorium and
was visited by almost everyone in
town. 1t is estimated that nearly
three thousand people visited the
building in the course of the even
ing. The pupils of the various
schools attended the exhibit in the
afternoon and the evening was
devoted to the adults.
The exhibits this year surpassed
previous years by several percent.
One reason for this was that all the
exhibit was made in the one build
ing and was not divided among the
several buildings as in previous
years. Only the White Iron, Savoy
and Winton schools held their ex-
hibits in their respective buildings.
The lower floor was devoted to the
Central school exhibit, the second
floor by the High school and the
Auditorium by the Pioneer and
Lincoln schools with the kinder
garten departments occupying pro-
minent sections.
The manual training, domestic
science, commercial and other de-
partments had most elaborate and
instructive exhibits. A feature of
the manual training exhibit was
the pattern making and iron mold
ing work shown. The lathe work
furniture building and other parts
attracted particular attention. In
the domestic science departments,
the needlework exhibit surpassed
anything heretofore attempted. A
prominent feature of this depart
ment also was the house plans
en- owed by The pupils. A class in
the booking room was kept busy
all evening demonstrating. The
manual training boys also had a
demonstration class at work and
the lathes, saws, planes and work
benches hummed with industry.
A most pleasing part of the High
School exhibit were the themes OF
the pupils in the original manus.
cript. All subjects were given due
attention in mastery manner
The mechanical drawings were also
worthy of special notice. The
teachers of the various rooms were
on hand and explained the intricate
parts of the exhibits to the un'
initiated. The band was in at
tendance and refreshments were
served by the young ladies of the
domestic science department.
Saturday the Alumni party and
banquet took place at the Lincoln
gymnasium. This annual affair
was not as we'll attended as il
should have been. Out of about
80 graduates only about Is were
present. Those who did attend
however were not a bit sorry as q
good time was had. A program Of
assigned toasts and subjects was
given and all made merry until
late in the evening.
