Last Friday evening children OF the
Lincoln school presented the Play
cinderella in Flower Land" in the
gymnasium of the school building be-
fore a large gathering. The musical
and dramatic talent and ability of
that school was demonstrated with
great success The general applause
indicated the enthusiasm OF the adult
ence. The principal characters were:

dis and four Narcissus, seventh and
eighth grades; four Violets and four

four Sweet Briers, fifth grade; four
Mignonettes and four Lily Bells, third

Credit for the presentation is shared
by all who took part in it, but owing
to the large number of them, individual
mentions cannot be made, but of the
principals. Prince Sunshine and Primo
ess Daisy, the two leading characters
in their beautiful costumes of yellow
and white had parts well fitted to
them in the play, exacting as to acting,
singing and dancing, and met the de-
mands of each with marked success.
Robin Red God Mother Nature, The
Naughty Sisters-Hollyhock and Tiger
Lily-and little Bonnie Bee are also
entitled to creditable mention. A var
iety of striking costumes and some
very clever dancing was displayed by
the Poppies, Buttercups, Pansies, Daft
fodils, Narcissus, Violets, Sweet Peas,
Sweet Briers, Mignonettes and Lily
Bells. These pretty flowers went
through the movements of their grace
full dances accompanying their chorus
es. Without the little Raindrops and
the bright little Sunbeams and the But
terfiies the play would not have been
complete and they filled their places
effectively.
The costuming for tthe play was
particularly beautiful and deserves
special mention. All of the dainty
colors were shown in pleasing way.
Miss Gertrude Luebchow rendered
the piano selections for the play in an
able manner
The task of directing the play was
left to faculty members of the Lincoln
school and they are to be compli-
mented on their success.
1t was presented for the purpose of
raising money with which a memorial
will be purchased for the Lincoln
building.
On the same evening parents, rela-
tives and friends of the Lincoln school
children viewed an industrial exhibit,
displayed in the corridors of the build
ing. This exhibit included remarkable
products of the young students work.
The drawing exhibit included
sketches of all kinds such as scenes of
the various seasons, animals, birds,
automobiles of every make, houses,
etc, and were realistic in appearance.
The domestic science department
had a wonderful display. The delic-
ious looking cakes, pies, cookies, can
dies and loaves of bread half tempted
the on-lookers to run off with some of
the delicacies. 1t may be of interest
to know that one boy received first prize
on cake and another boy first prize
on cookies. A large number of eXhib-
its in sewing were noticeable, such as
towels, prettily hemstitched with tat
ting and crocheted lace on, aprons of
all kinds flannel cases for silver ware,
samples of darning and mending, etc.
The girls are also designing and sew
ing dresses, and one pupil finished her
dress in time for the display and
showed remarkable work for a young
girl.
In the manual training department
the boys have made many useful ar
ticles and had some handsome results.
The exhibit covered book racks, tables,
sewing stands, pedestals and other
specimens of furniture. Each article
showed remarkable workmanship.
The exhibit was complete in every
detail and showed wonderful work &C
"Omplished by the children of the
Lincoln school, obtained by the efforts
of the faculty members. The teachers
are to be congratulated upon present
ing an exhibit of the kind arranged
for last Friday evening.
Besides the exhibits mentioned above

noticeable, as was displays from vari-
Gus Wausau manufacturers.
