ease of the young ladies who took
part. Miss Lois Redmond is well
known as a capable leader of the
| oil har oh fao
was shown by the excellent perform
ance of her pupils. The Glee club
gave six selections. The girls gave
several drills and folk dances, cos
TUNED in white for their regular
work, and in appropriate costumes
for the special dances. All the parts
| were we'll taken and the girls did
we'll, but the Irish jig and Highland
Fling were especially applauded, as the
costumes were very attractive and
these dances were given with a swing
and abandon that carried not only
| the dancers but the audience "off their
| feet" The sum realized from the en-
| tertainment is to be used as the nu-
cleus of fund for a new gymnasium,
as the girls plan building very much
