The students of Belding high school
were pleasantly surprised last Friday
to see Mr.. Lowery. the past Commits
sioner Of schools, of Ionia county.
Mr.. Lowery is now representative
of the Michigan Central Normal school
He spoke upon the advantages offered
by higher education and offered to
talk to any upper classmen who might
be interested
On Monday morning. Mr.. Hockstad
put before the high school propo-
sition that had their hearty support
He suggested that school begin at
8:15 Friday morning. and dismiss at
2:30 so those who wished might at
tend the big game of the season at
Icnia With such backing the boys
are sure to win.
The upper classmen, the Sopho-
mores ask to be included. agree that
the Freshmen are good entertainers.
The piano duet. by Marguerite Covert
and Mildred Shores. showed that the
Freshmen are not lacking in musical
talent. Fuller Dorr and Andrew Kra-
mer gave a dialogue, the theme of
which was women and umbrellas. One
CT the NOSE promising was the Goblin
number by the Freshmen. Even tho
they forget the language of COLLINS
they were nevertheless convincing in
their message. The other musical
number was a violin duet by Cleotoli
Burns, another budding musician. An
impressive part of the program was
the ceremonial meeting given by the
Camp Fire Girls The last feature of
the program was well worth waiting
for. Helen Menkee and Ethelyn Steele
customed as Spanish girls with tam
bourines. danced Spanish dance. The
Freshmen did themselves credit even
though they were "Freshies"

Junior and Senior classes at Harmony
