MOORHEAD NORMAL

Miss Hurlbert and Miss Anderson
preceptresses at the school dormito-
rfes, honored the house committees OF
the two halls on Monday evening in a
unique manner. The young women
who serve on these committees occu-
py among their associates and with
reference to the preceptresses, a posi-
ton of delicacy and. responsibility, and
so in planning an entertainment Tor
them the preceptresses tried to do
something especially attractive. The
evening began with a farcical produc-
ton by the local talent of the Com
stock hall of Uncle Toms Cabin, IN
which gentle Eva, Uncle Tom, the slave
driver with his whip, and Topsy APP
peared as realistically as on the old
plantation; and Liza, pursued by bay
ing hounds crossed the floor, billowy
with imagined water, on bouncing
fluffy mattresses. The drama being
over, the guests repaired to Wheeler
hall where games and fortune telling
passed the time till refreshments were
served. From what an inquisitlve re-
porter learns about the entertainment
it was a true wonder, h play being
pointed with local hits and the whole
entertainment full of fun for the hon
ored committees.
