EVENTS AT EARL
HIGH SCHOOL.

The patrons and friends of the
Pearl High School have a rare treat
in store for them at the High School
Alumni concert which will be given
Friday night, March 18th in the
High School Auditorium. The grad
yates have organized an association

of the Pearl High School. The con-
cert is being directed by Mr.. A. G.
Price, a well known vocalist and a
graduate of the school of the class of

over the concert and hopes for large
attendance, The general rehearsals
have been very satisfactory and when
the night of the concert arrives,
every member will be in perfect con-
dition for presentation to the public.
The object of the concert is to
raise funds to purchase astage curtain
for the school. The contract for the
curtain has already been let to Lee
beck Bros, at a cost of $160. The
curtain is made of heavy green velour
with top valance. The Alumni AS
ISOLATION and the Parent Teachers
Association are working together to
provide some needed furnishings for
the school, The principal, teachers,
and pupils are behind the movement
and success seems assured. A Vic
trola, stage curtain, moving pic
ture machine and furniture for
teachers rest room are some of the
things needed The public is urged
to attend and thus assist in securing
these things for their largest and
most popular school. Next comes
the debate. The purpose for which
these events are given eliminates the
free list" DR.. F. G. Smith, the
principal, is trying to make a COM
plete list of all the graduates of the
High school with their residential
addresses. He requests each gradu-
ate, in the city or out of the city to
send him their local addresses at
once. This information will be of
mutual benefit to the graduate and to
the school.
