WORTHY SCHOOL
ENTERTAINMENT
One of Best Ever Given by
Local Schools Pleased
Packed House Last Fri
day Night.


public was given a rare treat in the en-
tertainment given at the opera house by
the grades of our school. The house
was crowded to the extent that even
sta pding room was at premium. Dot
lug papss and mamas and all the rest OF
the proud family were there, and when
they went home after the performance
all felt hundred per cent prouder OF
our school and bright boys and girls
that constitute the same.
The EVENINGS entertainment was
opened by band concert given by the
high school baud 10 full uniform. each
playing his level best One woman was
heard to remark, "What a lot of fne
looking young Americans. The boys
never played better and the concert was
much enjoyed and greatly applauded by
the large audience. Prof. Patty cer-
taiply deserves great credit for the re.
markable progress the band is making
under his leadership.
The concert was followed by chorus,
"Out OF the Deep" by the high school
Glee Club. This too, was much appre-
GATED The Girls Glee Club came next
with their song, "The Dancers"
The little tots from the kindergarten
now took the platform and entertaineI
the crowd to their greatest satisfaction
with well executed folk dance. The
little folks are always sure to please and
OF course did uot fail this time.
The members Of the first grade now
appeared in the stately mInuet, all in
costume OF colonial times. George and
Martha Washington, the much loved
Lafayette and all the rest Of the celeb
rites OF ye olden DAYS were there to
make the dance the great success that
it proved to be.
The fl ,g drill given by the second
grade was another good number. The
time and step OF those taking part 10
this drill was indeed what we might say
were letter perfect. They were highly
appIauded aud greatly enjoyedoy all.
The Highland Fling was danced by
the young ladies Of the third grade in a
manner that would make Mrs Vernon
Castle green with envy. They were in
the dress of the Scotch lasse and were
very much admired. This dance was
one of the best plumbers on the program
and the young ladies were obliged TO re-
spond to au eucore. rhe music, in the
nature of a solo, was sung by Master
Theodore Eckert OF the third grade.
He has an exceptionally fne voice and
for one so young was marvel to all.
We predict for this little musician a
most remarkable career 10 his later
years
The drama, "Che Brownie OF Bled
mock, also given by the entire memb Der
ship of the third grade, was another
fine addition to the evenings perfor
nance. The several parts were we'll
taken and the youngsters proved a
great credit to their instructor, Miss
Busley. This closed the first part and
an iutermisson was taken for few
moments. afcer which the members of
the fourth, fifth and sixth grades pre-
sented the playette, "Fhe Queen of
Hears" This too, was unusually we'll
given and met with much favor. Next
followed the Folk dance, given by the
members Of the same grades. or course
this was good too
The dIa 20 atization, "Miles Standsb, 4"
was given with Mis- Dorothy Anderson
as Priscilla, Master Clifford Ballard as
John Alden and Roger Cole as Miles
Staudish. This was given with the right
spirit and each young actor proved the
right one for the respective part.
Miss Marie Hanson then told the au-
dience OF the experiences Of Josiah AL
lens wife while in a down: town store.
This young lady did, herself credit 10
memorizing so lengthy production and
she also recited it we'll.
The two songs, "The Violet and the
Bee" and 1.-The SnoWfl ikes," by the
grades closed one Of, IL not the finest,
programs aud evenings entertainments
that we have had 10 many day. All
who took part ref1sc. much credit
on the school and the efficient corps of
teachers Great credit is given our mu-
sic teacher, Miss Williams, for the fine
musical numbers 1t was a bouncing
success in every way and netted the
school the neat little SUI Of over $50.
