ARBoR DAY AT HIGH SCHOOL

brated little differently than was
anticipated. Most OF us were ex-
pecting to hear few Arbor Day Sc

adjourn: but we were agreeably sur
prised. for instead OF having pro-
gram OF a few minutes. II lasted
more than an hour.
The program started with some
songs sung by the entire student
body. Then followed a few minutes
roofing for the purpose of arousing
enthusiasm over the game of base
ball with Las Animas on the follow
ing day. Incidentally. Coach r. w.
Bell, and Captain Klein gave brief
talks on our prospects for victory.
Following this came the real pro-
gram. Henry Klein gave an inter
esting talk on the History of Ar
Dor Day" This was followed with
some songs by the members of the
girls double quartette. Every one
supposed that these girls were 60
ing to sing a song or two. accom-
panied by the PIANIST: but when
three members OF the Glee Club came
with them and played their ukuleles
for an accompaniment, the appro-
val OF the entire school was mani
fest that not one or two songs, but
a half dozen were required to suffice
the desire. When. finally, the quar-
tette refused to sing any longer. the
members OF the Junior Music Study
Club. a new organization In the high
school. gave a delightful little pro-
gram. Some OF their selections
were unusually good: among them
was a brief history OF THE Life and
Songs OF Harry Lauder" and a seiec-
tion from the japanese song. Poor
Butterfly" Last. but not least. we
adjourned TO plant some trees: but
due to the weather conditions of the
preceding day the man who was ex-
pected TO supply the trees failed and
we went home with pleasant MEM
