The two comedies were staged under
the direction of Miss Browning and Miss
Engle, who head the T. H. S. Dramatic
Club, and showed decidedly good work
for the little time devoted to it.
The chorus numbers were rendered by
the Glee Club under the direction of Miss
Firor and Miss Wrightson. The last
chorus "What Are You Doing to Help
the Boys" was especially appropriate and
its patriotic appeal met with hearty re-
sponse.
The musical treat of the evening was
the duet and solo work of the Glee Club
directors.
The het result of the entertainment is
the sum of $50 added to the Jr. Red
Cross Fund. This fund buys the mater
ial for the Jr. Red Cross work done in
the Thurmont school.
There was work from every grade IN
the school on a display table at the en-
trance to the hall on Thursday evening.
From the elementary school there were
gun wipes, baby quilts, hemmed towels
and knitted washrags and baby capes.
From the high school there were flannel
cite dresses and petticoats and knitted
capes, in short, complete girls outfits
for Belgian refugees aged a to 10.
This work is being done under the su-
pervision of Miss Engle of the Domestic
Science Depart ment.
All who were present on Thursday
evening or in any way follow the work
of the school are impressed with the fact
that the High School is especially fortu-
mite in having on the faculty four wo-
men of talent and ability and with the
tact and energy to "put it over into
their school work.
