 High School Notes.

 The successful result of the senior entertainment last Thursday evening was far beyond the highest hopes of the class. Seventy-five dollars were made which represent d good many milestones in the trip to New York next spring. The farce was well acted Both of the leaders, Miss Bar bara Chapin and Ronald Mitchell, car ried their parts to Al style. It must have been a wizard who wrought such change in the appearance of Marjorie (Mae Simons) but her act ing being perfect needed no change The rest of the characters had learned their parts we'll and caused no hitch. Thursday afternoon Richard Glazier became ill and notified MT. Handy that he could not take his part Richard Whitaker was asked to fill the va cancy and in the few hours between the finishing of his work in the Am- erican express office and the raising of the curtain that evening he had learned his lines which he gave cred itably. For the success of the play the seniors are indebted to Mrs. T. c. Chapin who stepped into the breech caused by the illness of the three teachers and with the aid of Principal Handy coached the players expertly. The class feels grateful to the towns people for the way they turned out and made possible the pleasing result of the entertainment.
