The fourth and fifth grade young
sters in Grace Wrights room pre-
scented a little play entitled, "Prixy's
Triumph" Tuesday evening. The
little tots did remarkable well and
pleased a large audience. They
showed careful training.
All university glee clubs are inter-
esting and enjoyable, but Idaho may
compliment herself on having an ex-
ceptionally fine one. The company
of young people have made tour,
as means of advertising the state
school, over Idaho and eastern Ore
gon,. making 10 stops in all. The
concert given at Blackfoot, Thurs
day night, April 30, was well rend-
cred and very pleasing to rather
small but appreciative audience. The
program consisted of violin and vocal
solos, quartet and chorus work and
readings. Miss Evelyn Cox's solos
anu LLIC ClOKu0 "OIh WOI0 easily IAO
most commendable of the evening.
The ragtime quartet and the read
ings by Harry Hawley caused much
merriment.
Altho the young people were ex-
tremely disappointed at so limited
an attendance, they were delighted
at the welcome given them by the
school people. Six cars met them at
the train, taking them for about a
Is mile ride. They remarked that
Bingham county had the finest roads
they had yet seen on their trip. i.
After the concert they adjourned to
the gymnasium where an informal
reception was given them by the
members of the Junior and Senior
classes. The room was prettily and
cozily decorated in yellow and white,
the university colors. During the
evening delicious sherbet and waf-
ers were served from punch bowls,
situated at either end Of the room.
The Junior Promenade will be
given Friday night, April %, at the
Progress hall. This is accepted as
the finest dance of the year and 1t
is expected that 1t will be exception
ally good this year.

honors in the spelling contest last
week we omitted the name of Opal
Coumerilh, who won button.
