mittee was appointed, with Mrs. Harry f.
Rowe as chairman, to have charge of the
sale. The plan is to have exchange tick

cts will exchange them for the seats they
may select on Thursday preceding the

concert is the opening day OF school in
the city, but Supt. Patten has kindly con-
sented to have one session on that day,
