School night at the Grand Theatre
will be Wednesday, April II. In ad-
dition to ive-reel picture featuring
Bryant Washburn in "Fiiling His
Own Shoes" there will be two good
numbers-one in which Miss Mar
jorie Arbour, known in the state capi-
tai as the Louisiana nightingale"
will sing "Buy Liberty Bond" and
the other demonstration of physical
exercises by a picked squad of the D.
H. S. Cadets. School night is for the
benefit of the high school and the
proceeds will be applied on the in
debtedness due on the high school
piano. AS stated elsewhere in the
Chief, the donations received from
the patrons and friends are not quite
sufficient to meet the deficit in the
current Incidental expenses, and only
the most liberal patronage of school
night will enable us to retain the
piano.
The parish rally which will be held
at Dutchtown Saturday, April 20, is
lust one week off, and the Donaldson
Vile contestants are already busy
getting in shape. The girls glee
+, club ought to win easily, and the
cadets will win in a walk in the
physical exercises. With the other
literary and athletic events which we
shall probably win, it looks as if the
championship this year will go to the
Donaldsonville High School.
I, AS the school has no money this
tn SoI 70 a
contestants to Dutchtown, the good
people of Donaldsonville will be asked
| TO lend their automobiles for this pur-
pose. Any public-spirited citizens
who feel disposed to help US in this
respect will please communicate with
the principal The military company
will, as last year, hike the fourteen
miles on Friday and camp that night
at Dutchtown.
The annual meeting Of the teachers
Ecf the state, which was held in Baton
Rouge Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day of last week, although Of the ut
most Importance inasmuch as the
! principal topic for discussion was the
question Of increased salaries Tor
I teachers, failed TO draw the repre-
Isentation from the d. d. s. that It
deserved. Only Misses Stuart, Evans,
and McGalliard attended from this
school, the other teachers for various
1 reasons finding it inpraeticable to at
/ tend.
Thursday afternoon, both this
week and last week, the entire cadet
corps, with just six full squads or 48
men, hiked to the target range which
is located on the Landry batture
about one and half miles below the
! city and spent some two hours in tar

were made, and one cadet, Oliver
I Bergeron, on each occasion made a
/ bulls eve, which the cadets in order
to gain inspiration to shoot straight
had denominated ''Der Kaiser's eye. y
! It IS their intention to make life
size figure of the kaiser for target
at next practice, and If any one can
I hit him in the heart--or rather that
part of his anatomy where nature
should have placed heart-the for.
tunate marksman is to be promoted
to sharp-shooter and hailed as cham
pion of the cadet corps.
