Saturday night the Dickinson
county high school department OF
music gave an excellent program
which was participated in by the
students of tie voice department,
chorus, glee clubs, the band and the
orchestra. The work was so well
done that 1t received many highly
complimentary remarks. The high
school has reason to be proud of
the music department.
With the rapidly increasing cost
of living it is becoming very much
more difficult for the domestic de-
partment to serve meals at ten
cents. That they have been able to
do this so long is remarkable. To
receive mashed potatoes, roast beef,
gravy, hot rolls, butter coffee, cream
sugar, an ice or a salad for ten
cents is certainly wonderful. The
teachers and the girls serving these
meals are deserving a great credit.
1t requires a great deal of planning
and careful figuring to make this
work pay all the expense
The junior class play, "The Lion
and the Mouse will be given Sat
urday evening, April %. This is an
heavy play to be given
by strong cast of characters. Keep
