this way about it, they got the con-
sent of the Superintendent to put on
a couple of playlets. The primary
pupils presented I'm Fairyland," and
the second graders attempted some
thing a little heavier, and their play
was "Hansel and Gretel."
There was no disappointment on
the part of the audience present; in
fact, they were surprised to a large
degree at the splendid manner in
which the children performed. Each
little tot appeared to be perfectly at
home on the stage, all parts were
we'll committed and there was an en-
tire absence of stage fright.

The children were all properly cos
tuned and each separate and indi
vidual part was performed in a cred
liable manner. 1t was a matter @
much comment on the part of thos
present to see how well the childre
acted on the stage, and how the
seemed to be perfectly at home.
At the beginning of the perform
ance Prof. Hoffman made few we
chosen remarks and cordially thank
ed the people of Heppner for the ir
terest manifested in the welfare c
the school. 1t was certainly an eve
ming we'll spent and we should b
glad to see more of similar natur,
There is nothing more pleasing tha
an entertainment by the children
and the manner in which Miss Powe
and Miss Ames handle those unde
their care speaks volumes for thej
ability along this line.
