Gard To the Public

In view of the misunderstanding
regarding the dance that followed
the entertainment given by the stu
dents of the Eureka County High
School in the Opera House on Thanks
giving night, we wish to state that
no charge was made for the use of
the hall for this entertainment. it be-
ing agreed with Principal Priest that
he would pay six dollars toward cov-
ering the cost of fuel, lights and the
janitorship. and it was distinctly un-
derstood that no dance was to follow
the entertainment.
After people commenced assemb-
ling in the hall that evening we were
informed by the general public that
a dance had been arranged to follow
the entertainment. and Immediately
took the matter up with Mr.. Priest
and consented to allow dancing un-
til IL o'clock. with no additional
charge, and the use of the hall was
not asked for after that hour.
