Great enthusiasm was display
ed Tuesday morning when Mr..
Turner came up to give the boys
their first drill in military tactics
Every boy in Cheyenne county is
interested in this work and many
regret that they have not the
same opportunity that the high
school boys have. Mr.. Turner is
an ex officer of the Spanish Amer

thoroughly and he will be a great
help to the boys in many ways.

graduated upon the talent it will
be the priyll ge to hear COM

sibly accept all invitations and

exercises are open to the public
and it is hoped that the halls will
be crowded to hear them.
The play given last Thursday
night was a success both finan-
cially and in the way of an enter
tainment, each pupil taking part
doing so very creditably. There
wasn't dull moment during the
whole evening and the bursts of
laughter heard throughout the
hall showed that it was making
Il hit. The hall was crowded and
many drove in from miles away.
The public had been promised a
good evening and the comment
from everyone was. 1T was just
iine." The seniors appreciate
very much the liberal patronage
given them and wish 10 assure
the public that the money receiv
ed will be used chiefly for some
school purposes. 1t is the inten-
tion of the class to leave pres

precedent that classes in the fu-
ture may follow.
