GIRLS SCHOOL NOTES

To celebrate Mrs. Fridlund's BIRTH
day Mrs. Morse gave an afternoon tea,
and a supper party was given at Stowe
cottage.
Mrs. Morse and Mrs. Albee joined
a party of Sank Centre people who
went to the cities last week to hear
Sothern and Marlowe.
Saturdays dust storm was so severe
that work on the grading and in the
fields had to stop, and the men found
shelter from the clouds of flying sand.
The Rev. James Parsons and Mrs.
Parsons of ST. Paul spent Sunday in
Sank Centre. Mrs. Parsons spent the
day at the Home School. Mr.. Par
sons, who is head of the Society for
the Friendless and Help to the Pris-
oners, addressed one or more meet
ings in the city, and spoke most ap-
pealingly to the girls of the Home
School at their afternoon service.
Easter was happy day at the
Home School. For the Easter morn
ing breakfast the dining rooms in the
cottages were very bright and pretty.
Mrs. Morse gave potted plants and
cut flowers and these with the bright
ly colored eggs, dainty Easter napkin
rings, flocks of tiny chickens and bas-
kets of little candy eggs, made the
houses most attractive. At the af-
ternoon service Mr.. Brown spoke to
the girls on the ''Power of the Resur-
rection."

responded with portion of the origi-
nal selection.
The closing number on the program
was the famous sextette from sLucia
di Lammermoor, which was render
ed by the full band in excellent tempo
and in manner highly creditable.
Miss Hilsdale appeared again as
soloist. Her first selection was the
ever acceptable "Il Bacio'' by Arditi.
Miss Hilsdale was in excellent voice
and her rendition of this musical gem
demonstrated her ability to handle
difficult scores and to bring out faith
fully every shade of musical meaning.
The selection was enthusiastically re-
ceived. Her second number was
.'Nita Gitana" by De Koven. Her
rendition of this was highly accept
able and the audience gave her
hearty encore. She responded grace
fully with lullaby song that got
right in close to the hearts of of the
audience. Miss Hilsdae was easily
the star of the evening.
The high school male quartet was
down on the program for selection.
which they rendered and were given
three recalls.
Mr.. Henry Mann was the fun
maker for the evening, as he was
at the first concert. Accompanied by
q large, white, cr0p-eared dog and
dressed as a "Rube," Henry sang
the popular air 'You gotta quit
kicFin' my dog aroun." He made a
great hit and had to return to re-
sing one of the stanZas.
The work Of Mr.. Sydney Mann as
piano accompanist for the soloists
was satisfactory.
The public showed it's appreciation
of the work of the band by comfort
ably filling the house, the financial
receipts being quite satisfactory.

prise party. Immediately after the
close of school Miss Whiting enticed
Miss Miller from the building for a
short walk, thus giving the children
time to prepare for the feast. When
Miss Miller returned and found that
some of her pupils we're still in the
room she lost no time in the attempt
to drive them from the building, ssand
was about to resort to strenuous
methods when the signal was given
and all the pupils shouted Surprise"
The indignant school mistress was in
deed surprised, but she soon regained
her usual good spirits and the party
proceeded without further Interrupt
tion. Games were played on the lawn
and a good supply of refreshments
was furnished by the children. All
declared the evening a most enjoyable
lone.

Total

While the vote in No. IS was adj
verse to the consolidation PROPOSE
ton, yet the total vote in the three
districts is what decided the question
Consolidation carries by a majority Of
votes.
Under the law providing for con-
solidation, the three districts now be-
come part of the Sank Centre dis
trict; or rather the four are one.
The Board of Education of Sank Cen
tire is now at liberty to accept or re-
ject the project to consolidate, but as
they have been working for it, they
will accept. The local Board of Edu-
cation will have charge of the schools
in the consolidated district until next
March when the annual election of
members occurs. At that time two
members retire. An election will
then be held fo- two men to8sslcceea
them. This election will be held in
the consolidated district.
Under the law providing for consoli-
dation, pupils residing in the rural
districts will be carried to the city
school in conveyances provided for
their use. These vehicles will call for
pupils, take them to the city school
house and return them to their homes
in the evening. The cost of transpor-
tation will be borne by the state, an
appropriation of 81, 500 being provided
for that purpose.
The boys and girls from the rural
districts will thus have the advanta-
yes of the city schools and will also
have an opportunity of attending
school nine months in the year.
The cost to the rural school dis
tricts will be less than under the
present separate arrangement. So
that it appears that the country dis
tricts will be benefited by the change.
Something like fifty pupils will be
added to the enrolment of the Sank
Centre public schools by the new ar
rangement, but this will not entail
any additional expense for apparatus
and teachers, as this number can be
easily handled.
Supt M. D. Aygarn and Instructor
K. A. Norsen of the Sank Centre
schools have taken great interest in
the consolidation project and it is
largely due to their enthusiasm and
that of Mayor J. n. McGibbon of the
local school board that it was carried
through. They held meetings in the
districts in question and talked con-
early and late and they
naturally feel elated over the result of
the vote.
w. A. Boerger, superintendent of
schools in Stearns county, also took
much interest in the matter and
spent day in Sank Centre to re-
ceive the returns. He came in Friday
night and remained all day Saturday,
returning home Sunday morning. Mr..
Boerger believes the experiment will
be a success.

the high school, has resigned her po-

ENJOYABLE EVENING
Excellent Program Rendered at the
Opera House to an fnthuS-
iaStiC Audience
MISS HiLSDALf SINGS
Sank Centre Girl Delights Her Many
Friends in Two Fine Solos
and an Encore

Monday evening, at the Opera
House, the Sank Centre Band again
demonstrated that it is not necessary
10 import talent to furnish home
music lovers with good entertain
ment. The first concert given by the
band, some weeks ago, was good; the
second was better. On the latter oc-
casion the band attempted something
more ambitious than on the former
occasion. 1t showed its caliber by
handling the classical selections in
creditable manner. With more prac-
lice the band will do even better. AS
it is, the band is an organization of
which town much larger than Sank
Centre might well be proud.
Much credit for the character of
the work done Monday evening is
due to DIR. Harold L. Lamb, who for
some weeks past has been in charge
as musical director. Sank Centre
people have always recognized DR..
Lamb as a musician of ability, capable
of handling more than one instrument
i'm creditable style. 1t is only of late
that the public has known him in
the role of conductor. Monday
nights performance demonstrated
DIR. Lambs ability to direct an ag-
gregation of musicians in manner
that gives satisfactory results. I'm
der his leadership the different shad-
ings of the selections ATTEMPTED by
the band were brought out in must
cianly manner. The band on its part
followed the leader faithfully, obeying
his slightest wish and responding in
stantly and enthusiastically to every
movement of his baton. The band as
an organization is making great pro-
gress and the future evidently has
much in store for it.
The medley overture was an excel
lent curtain raiser and put the audi
ence en- rapport with the musicians.
The fourth number, "Dream Walt
zes," was very attractive waltz
movement rendered in fine style.
Other numbers in the bands rep
ertoire were selection from the
Chimes of Normandy and fine rendi-
tion of the old-time song ''Silver
Threads Among the Gold" This
last piece was written as a baritone
solo with accompaniment. Mr.. Julian
Parker had the solo part but very
modestly declined to have his name
appear on the program or to stand
while playing. But the manner in
which he handled his instrument and
the way he brought out the meaning
of the selection was.highly creditable.
The third number was cornet So
10, 1.-THE Lost Chord" by Mr.. Louis
Steen. Mr.. Steen, recent acquisi-
ton to the organization, sustained
his reputation as an expert cornet
player, and his excellent rendition of
this fine old melody brought an en-
core to which Mr.. Steen responded
with "My Hero from "The Choco-
late Soldier" The filling in by the
band in both these selections was ex-
cellent.
Mr.. Peter Orvaar appeared in a
clarinet solo entitled 1'Second Air
Varie," a. melodious selection difficult
of rendition but which was handled
10y Mr.. Orvaar in creditable manner.
The audience showed its appreciation
by giving Mr.. Orvaar a recall and he

99 1t didn't hurt
anybody, though. The club was
stuffed-so were the guests. The
club was stuffed with smiles, laugh
ter, glad greetings, welcoming hand
shakes, good things to eat and nice
things to hear. The guests were
stuffed at table until their anatom-
mics could contain no more of the
toothsome things set before them.
And then their mental receptacles
were stuffed with bright, witty femi-
nine sayings.
1t was the Gradatim Clubs annual
social function. They have something
Of the sort every spring something
different each year. This year they
entertained the mayor and city coun-
Gil, sandwiehing in between for sea-
soning, the library board and good
many other people not in municipal
officiaIdom but who consider them
selves just as good.
It was most emphatically female
function. Mere man was cipher;
though some of the hostesses- nota-
bly, the unmarried Ones-admitted on
the side that they could and did sigh
fora male companion.
Myers were LAID for one hundred.
-FJe rooms were Appropriately decora-
ted for the occasion. The Gradatims
have been studying Japan the past
year, hence flags and other impede
.r enta Indicative of the little brown
men hung on walls, while Japanese
lanterns shed a dim, though neces-
sarily religious, light from above.
The tables bore candelabra and vases,
the latter containing carnations and
pussy willows. Place cards bore min
iatures of Japanese maidens.
The pleasures of the banquet board
were materially enhanced by the mel
ody of mandolin and piano master
fully manipulated by Glen Cooper and
Miss Harriet Erwin. The table SER
vice was highly efficient in the hands
of beyy of attractively gowned young
ladies of pleasing personality, namely,
Misses Clara Carr, Nell Hansen, Mary
Doolittle, Avis Rowe, Mary Marshall,
Florence Compton, Edith Gates, Vera
Peart, Jessie Thomson.
The feast of reason and flow of soul
proceedings were exclusively feminine.
The mayor looked willing to spring a
spring poem or to recite his old one
about "Appendicit;" the city clerk
appeared dying to call the roll of the
municipal paters; the city treasurer
seemed bursting with avid desire to
let loose flood of oratory; the health
officer acted like a person who want
ed to tell what he knew about keep
ing the city clean: FIR. Artz and Rev.
Duel, the sole representatives of the
clergy present, gave evidence of de-
string to offer spiritual advice. But
all these masculine longings died d
natural death. Woman reigned SUI
preme and she didn't care if the lords
of creation knew it.
The silver-haired, loved and re-
spected president of the club, Mrs. A..
Barto, filed well her part as toast
mistress. There were ten toasts--
none OF them rOaStS-and the reSpon-
ses would have made mere man ego
