story by Joe Black was very inter
esting. Gertrude Malone and Will
lard Harden gave readings. Mary
Farmer gave a splendid reading
which deserves especial mention. Hell
en- Carson's reading was quite good
and so was John Blacks. Current
Events were handled with very much
credit by Cecil Dillon. The papers !,
by Lelah Dunlap and Ethel Davis con-
tanned much which was very instruc-
tive and also much which was very
amusing. After the Critics report |

Guy Miller could not take part in
the track meet for some reason.
The program given by the high
school students Wednesday evening
was especially good and was enjoyed
by large number of visitors as well
as the students. The two solos by
Mart Baker were quite good. We
were favored by a reading by Miss
. Wood and it was certainly enjoyed
by everyone who heard it. The read
ings by Ada Malone, Thelma Keat-
ing and Freda Gardener were gener-
ously applauded. Anna Miller and
Ruth Anthony entertained with a
piano duet which showed much prep
aration and skill. Orlo and Letha
Rolo presented the pianologue in a
pleasing manner and it well deserved
the encore. Miss Alice EASTWOOD and
: Mary Falls favored the audience with
piano duet which was most enter
tanning. The program was well worth
while and it is regretted that larger
number of people were not present.
About $26 was the amount cleared.

"A treat, indeed, was in store for
the Seniors Friday evening, April 27,
when Louise Falls gave a beautiful
little party in honor Of the class of
1917. The first game of the even
ing was contest in which Elaine Black
won the prize, which was cap with
the words what Goose Am l"
printed on it, the inscription being
suggestive of the game. Other en-
tertainments was plentiful, especially
when Mary Kennedy and Marguerite
Bane showed their ability to drink a
pint (more or less?) of strong salt
water, and zelda Reynolds and
, Georgia Armstrong tried to prove
that they could eat crackers and
whistle at the same time. Music was
