Stamp. The Sophomore record was COM

commended. The Junior class ranks
next, likewise with 1909 record. The

/ siderable difficulties during the campaign
and although we are small class, never
theless some OF us do not or did not quite
understand the situation in which our
country is placed. By this do not mean

the spirit at least.

On Friday February %, a continuous
! program was given. During the day all
of the grade children of Hurley attended.
In the evening the program was put on
for adults. The pupils were not at their
best at their first and second performances
and they surely made the fact known, al
/ though the mistakes were not entirely
conceivable to the grade children. 1t
was plainly seen that something had to
be done and after a little urging and a
few more corrections by Supt. Murphy it
was decided to put it on. In the evening
the pupils were in the best of spirits, like
wise the faculty members. Dancing was
INDUCED in before and after the per

clock, so Mr.. Murphy says, and the num-
Der given by the Cary school children
was commended by all who were for
tunate to see it.
