The pupils Of Miss Brockman's room
70. Z, and Sth grades) gave literary
program Friday afternoon. The high
school students were invited guests.
Several OF the townspeople were pres
ent. More ought to make 1t a habit to
attend the programs given by the
school. 1t encourages the pupils and
shows interest among the patrons.
Isina Jones presided with the skill
and dignity of an old parliamentarian.
Mildred Brown filed the secretary's
chair with exactness Columbia was
sung with ferv0r by the school. The
dialect reading by Frank Taylor show
ed some ability. 1t was however too
long and too ''slangy." 1t would be
wiser, according to your correspond
ent's opinion, to let the children prac-
tice English as ''she ought to be spok-
en-" not as "she sometimes Is" in
correctly, be 1t ever so comically.
The solo Of Mildred Brown was well
rendered and received deserved an
plause.' The original story read BY
Bernice Hagan makes us believe that
Whitebird has some future writer's In
the making. Miss Chloe Berry delight
ed the pupils and visitors with one of
her excellent piano solos. The duet
by Margaret Wright and Isma Jones
showed talent as well as preparation.
This is commendable. Too often we
think that preparation does not mat
ter much. Lelah Shearer's reading
about St Patrick, the Irish patron
saint was timely, informing and worth
while. The 'sWhitebird Daily" showed
that reporters and editors know how
TO gather news that is newsy, nifty and
neutral. The recitation BY Donald
Frizzell was given with understand
ing and precision which promise great
er things. The same can be said con-
corning the piano duet by Miss Brock
man and Annie Nevin. Attempts at
the dramatic were made In q presenta-
ton OF scenes from Rip Van Wrinkle
some class, keep 1t up. Never too late
to mend. You don't belong to the Inn
possibles. There Is some talk In school
circles about uniting the two literary
societies and have program every
other week for the remainder OF the
town. The idea is good Unless the
some to outstrip the grammar
