THE PROGRAM FRIDAY EVENING
At SCHOOL AUDlCTRiUM sU-
PERB Observation-Disclosures
sONAT!ONs OF TEACHERS PUT
TIE HOUSE INTO UPR0AR.

Fer those who attended the musical
by the girls and boys chorus OF the
CordeIe High school at the school au-
litcrium Friday evening, under the
direction Of Miss Mildred Fakes, the
NO and one-half hours OF the program
were as trimming full of real enjoy
ment as any occasion could be The
events were superb throughout, and
there was not a number on the pro
cram that did not take the house, each
# the individual characters on the
Program acquitting themselves most
oreditably. The audience filled the
auditorium to its full seating capaci-
ty.
There were Iorjy-s'1 members in
he girls chorus and thirteen in the
boys chorus.
A feature Of the venings enter
tainment which was sKillfully eXecut-
I'd and which created uproarous mer-
iment was the impersonatiOn by mem
bers of the choruses f the various
,eachers in the schools. The imper
sonations OF Supt. Brewer by Allen
Churchwell was very realistic and
certainly carried away first honors in
this feature.
