COMEDY SKETCH AT THE
HIGH SCHOOL

The two little comedies presented
in the high school assembly room
Monday evening of last week found
an enthusiastic audience in spite Of
the fact that many were obliged to
stand during the entire perform
ance, every available seat being
filled by 1880
Mable Johnson in Mrs. Busby's
Pink tea" was a charming and ade-
quately anxious young hostess,
while Irwin Davidson, as young Mr..
Busby, expressed very naturally the
evident discomfort of a young man
forced to assist at formal femin-
inc affair. Helen Dawson, as Mrs.
Dashleigh, very cleverly played the
part of flirtatious young widow
who entertained her uncomfortable
host SO we'll as to make him forget,
not only his sensitive young wife
and polite surprise of the assembl-
ed guests.
In the second little comedy, adj
apted from the German of Bepe-
diets "Nein", Lila Williams, as
the sweet and saucy Maid, becomes
obstinate when Orson Pratt, as the
butler, insists on her repeating
after him. Thank goodness the
table is spread" Rhe is unmoved by
arguments, entreaties and COM
mands and the quarrel that ensues
postpones Indemnity the coming
wedding.
Phillip Snodgrass, as the young
master, takes up the question with
the bride Margaret Smith) but his
we'll known argumentative powers
fail to convince his clever young
wife who refuses to comply to so
foolish request Just to please
him." The desension spreads
even to the brides parents who
arrive on visit. James Manion as
the father-in-law vehemenlty denies
the wish of the husband of long
standing, while Maude Burghard
as a sweet but sensible matron,
calmy refuses his demand.
The two gentlemen confer and a
compromise restores the ruptured
peace.

STORE ROBBED THIS MORNING

Thieves broke into the H. A. Hag-
estad & Co. Store at an early hour
this morning and escaped with an
assortment Of suits, fur caps, over
coats, belts and couple or more
suit cases, the value Of which is
roughly estimated at between $3.50
and $500.
Entrance was made through atran-
sometover the rear door. The rob
bers evidently worked calmy and
methodically, picking out the best
grade from each line and just e
nough Of it for their convenience in
carrying in the stolen suit cases. A
number Of the cheaper grade suits
were found on the river bank a
block south Of the store.
Chief Ramberg was on the street
but his movements were undoubt-
eddy watched by a member Of the
gang whose signals timed activities
inside the store. Orie White who
clerks in the store, was the first to
discover the robbery when he came
down to open the place up for bust
ness this morning. No clue has as
yet been discovered by which to
identify the robbers.

SIX HUNDRED AND MORE


Our attendance has passed the
500 mark. The growth of our school
IN numbers and in the scope of it's
service, has been a gratifying sur.
prise TO faculty and citizens alike.
Why this marvellous growth? Yes,
the president has been busy. The
faculty has done work which ap
pealed to students and which has
attracted the attention of educators.
Students have been loyal and en-
thusiastic. Our graduates have
shown their faith in their Alma
Mater by sending scores of students
to the school Not one of these
factors, however, has exerted
more positive influence on this un-
usual growth and prosperity than
the unselfish and enthusiastic
support of the citizens of River
Falls.
One strong personality or small
combination of factors may make
good school, but it requires a union
of all factors and forces to make
great school such as we now have
in this end of Wisconsin.
1t is to be expected that now and
then the school will make mistakes
of such a nature as to deserve un-
favorable comment and that now
and then there will be citizen who,
without much provocation, because
of bad liver or other cause, will
indulge in fault finding. But nei-
Their mistakes nor sluggish Flyers
have led to fault finding or knock
ing during the four years l have
been in River Falls.
The cooperation between the
normal school and the public
schools, operated in such a way as
to be of greatsvalue TO the public
schools, is a most vital matter with
the normal school. Without this
cooperation this larger normal
school could not exist. With an
attendance of 275 to 800 and grad
uating class of IS to SIS, our model
school met our needs very nicely,
but with an attendance of 600 to $50
ana graduating classes of 125 to
us, two such model schools could
not adequately meet the demands.
Were it not for this cooperative
plan with many country schools,
we should be forced TO greatly re-
duce our attendance and the size of
our senior classes. If the school
continues to grow in numbers it
will be necessary to form cooper
alive plans with some of the nearby
city schools which. in the light of
experience here, would seem en-
tirely feasible.
The attitude of citizens towards
the school determines largely the
attitude of the students who live
among them. The way in which
our citizens talk about the school
determines the attitude of the citi-
zeps of nearby cities and towns. 1t
rebounds all the more to the credit
of citizens that they have not claim
ed credit for themselves. There is
no reason, however, why l may not
express the appreciation of the
school for the very large part the
citizens of River Falls have had in
the growth and increased efficiency
of our school. | have written this
statement in order to show appre-
citation and in order to show the
value of cooperation in continuing
the growth and successful work OF
the institution in our midst. Let
Us never forget that it requires a
union of all factors and forces to
develop and maintain great norm
al school.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

- 49, -
Myra Johnson a former student
of the school has entered the Sen.
Tor class.
The Christmas stamps OF the
Red Cross Society will be in charge
of the Public school this year and
students Of the school will sell
these stamps. 1t is hoped that
there will be a large sale Of these
stamps.
The second six weeks of school
has just been completed and the re-
ports given out. A marked i'm
provement can be seen in the stand
ings 1t seems probable that as
the school year advances, scholar
ship will gradually increase to
what we would all like to have it.
The banquet to be given by the
Girls Athletic Association for the
football boys and the Boys Athletic
Association, will occur next Mon
day evening. 1t is probable that
about fifty will be present at the
banquet this year. After the ban
quet, the Boys Athletic Association
have provided for a dance given for
all present at the banquet.
The call for candidates for the
basketball team was given by Mr..
Stillman, Monday. The boys re-
sponded enthusiastically to the call
and enough for three teams were
out to practice. AS nearly all of
the positions have to be newly filled
there is great deal of competition
places. The team will be picked
in the near future and with so any
out, we should have an excellent
team this year.
Mr.. Amy delivered a very in
structive talk Monday afternoon to
the High School Boys on the Anti
Cigaret Movement" which has been
on foot for several years past. After
giving few illustrations and COM
arisons as to the bad effects and re-
suits, he continued to give short
summary of the Acts of the Legis-
lative recently passed, which are as
follows: That no cooperation or in
dividual shall sell, give away, bar
ter or in any way, directly or in
directly, be the cause Of a minor
being in possession of cigarette
material, unless privileged by IL
cense received from municipal
board of local town. Violation of
the above subjects the offender to
due penalties of law upon convict
ion, Furthermore. any minor who
is in possession of cigarette mater
ial, refuses to give information as
to where obtained shall also suffer
q fine not exceeding five dollars.
The Literary program for Mon
day Dec. 6, will be almost entirely

A very pretty wedding was cele-
