four Of her friends among the young
teachers Of the city and by Miss Frances
Farley, principal Of the school, at 8th and

Little Trita Schaeffer. scarcely four
years old, dressed as a gypsy boy, did
a clever toe dance with a tambourine.
She was forced to respond to an encore.

The scenery. stage properties and light
ing effects lent much to the excellence of
the production and they were all built
and installed by the boys of the school
center. The back scene showed a path
through a dense woodland, and was well
painted. The plot of the operetta lent
itself to series of pretty tableaux with
shaded and colored lights, which were
skillfully managed by the young cleo
tricians.
