Last Friday night the Upstreamers
gave a home talent play at the school
house. The title was "Mrs. Tubbs
Does Her Bit" Almost all the class
took part and made a very good
showing considering the very short
time they had to prepare. The play
was followed by a basket social upon
a new plan. The shadows of the
ladies were sold to the men instead of
bidding upon the baskets. While some
were afraid that this was too much
like slavery auction, and so violated
the constitution, it is thought that the
thirteenth amendment applies only to
persons and not their shadows. About
$36.40 was obtained from the sale of
the baskets and candy. This sum will
be used by the school to support a
French orphan.
