School Under The Auspices
Of Mothers Circle.
DANCE OF FAIRIES.
Scholars Of Sixth And Seventh
Grades Do Remarkably Well
AS Actors. Graceful
Dancing.

To say that the students of the Sixth
and Seventh Grades of the Grammar
School did well last night in the en-
tertainment at the High School AS
sembly Hall, would be putting it mild
ly. They were remarkable. Indeed they
exceeded hopes of the most sanguine
of their coaches.
The entertainment was given under
the auspices of the Mothers Circle,
Mrs. Olivet, chairman of the entertain
ment committee. The proceeds are for
the general treasury for school needs
as the Circle has for its object child
welfare.
The hall could not accommodate the
large audience, although many extra
chairs were brought in, large num-
ber were obliged to stand throughout
the program.
Prior to the drawing of the curtain,
the school orchestra, under the direc-
tion of Miss Millikin, piano accompan-
list of the evening, played a melody
in F from Rubenstein, and played
well. Some of the girls, as well as
boys. played violin. The chorus "Wel-
come Sweet Springtime," was beauti-
fully sung by Seventh Grade girls.
A pleasing feature of the program
was The Fairies Lesson" This was
most artistic. Miss Helen Wilson
made a beautiful Queen of the Fairies,
and danced most gracefully. Miss
Rose Cain and Miss Mary Edith Gill
huley in their beautiful green fairy
like dresses danced a series of grace
full eyolutions and poses in a manner
that bordered on the professional. A
pleasing duet was sung by Miss Kath-
crime Stevens and Miss Winifred
Beard, and very graceful dance was
done by Miss Augusta Wattenscheidt
Jack" whom the fairies wanted to
teach lesson because of his cruelty
to animals, was impersonated by Mas
ter Sandy Stone, and he did it splen-
didly. His mother, was ably repre-
sented by Miss Francine Olivet, who
acted her part exceedingly we'll The
| entire fairy scene was beautifully pre-
sented. The chorus from Robin Hood
by the Sixth Grade boys, was admir-
ably sung and the boys received an
ovation.
During the intermission the school
orchestra gave several popular patri-
otic airs, whistled and sung by the
children in the audience
The second half of the program was
given over to an original playlet The
Rescue of Liberty. written by Sixth
Grade girls. Liberty was impersonat-
| ed by Miss Dorothy Price, who was
| happily cast. She was captured by the

| There was sea battle and land bat
| tie in which the Americans were
! driven back for want of food, and the
| thriftless housewife Miss Gladys
Stein) was taught thrift by the Ameri-
can farmer who demonstrated that
food would win the war.
In the playlet the Cereals. the Lib
| erty Bond, the Thrift Stamp and the
War Tax on theatres were represent
| ed The lateer was Miss Dorothy Mar
maduke, who danced gracefully and
scattered her war tax money The play
ended happily with the German Army

marks on the Liberty Bonds and
