HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
(Assiciated Rawles Pressl

Had George Bernard Shaw himself
been in the audience at the perform
ance of the high school play last Fri
day evening, he would have left the
building with I" we'll done' on his
lips. Considering the fact the vehicle
was heavy one and the players all
amateurs, it was a good play, and
from the numerous laughs which came
from the audience was enjoyed by all.
At $3.50 on the evening of the per-
formance bowling mob stood in front
of the Odeon, waiting for the doors 10
be opened. A passenger on d. & r.
G. train inquired of the colored porter
if Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pick
ford were to appear in person. Al
though the curtain was scheduled to 60
up at clock, the house was packed
at 1880 and those who came later were
fortunate to get standing room. One
man who came in about 'clock had
to balance himself with his eyebrows
from chandelier. During the time
the crowd was coming in the o 'Brien
orchestra made things merry by send
ing harmony jazzing through space.
AT 1858 the curtain HEAVIER got orders
acts several things happened. Chalmer
| Noren rendered vocal solo with his
superb tenor voice. His vocal organs,
trained and carefully modulated, played
on the emotions of his audience like
the fingers of harpist on golden
harp. Miss Meldon Bryant also sang.
Both of these artists received hearty
applause. Mrs. Montandon recited
Service ''The Cremation of Sam
McGee' in a manner which entertained
those present immensely. Like the
other performers, she, too, caused tie
audience to massage their hands t.
gether in a voluminous storm of hearty
approval.
Approximately 800 was cleared on
the play. 1t was under the able direc-
! tion of Mr.. and Mrs. Montandop,
through whose untiring efforts the per
formance was so successfully staged.
A free matinee for the grade chill
dren was given Thursday.
The high school passed a vote of
thanks to the following and all who
helped in the staging of the play:
City Drug Store and Armory, chairs
loaned; j. C. Schwarz, loan of turni-
ture; Mrs. Overlook, for the painting
of numerous large placards which
helped greatly in the advertising of
the play; Knights Templar, for the loan
of gold swords. i
Basketball
Ray Hopkins was elected captain of
the l91Sl9 basketball team Monday.
He was practically the unanimous
choice of the team. The result of the
election was expected, as he was the
logical man for the position of cap
tain. Miss Lillian Hollingsworth was
elected captain of the girls team Tues
day. She will make good leader, as
she has had previous experience and
understands the game thoroughly.
Bill Pepper has equipped himself with
pair of binders.
Father Carrigan gave timely talk
to the students of the high school Mon
day afternoon. His address was on the
Irish question, and history OF the
liberty loving Irish people. 1t was
most interesting and enjoyed by I'll
of us.
Last week some high school boy, pa
triotic to the core, and school spirited,
took his pencil whittier and did some
highly artistic carving on one of the
high school doors. So far the culprit
has not been .apprehended, but in the
long run he will probably go to
h-Ome.
The Seniors class colors have been
put upon the stage in the form of the
figures 1919. Senior day is coming
soon. Already casket-like looks of
gloom have appeared on the handsome
faces of all the Freshies.
The basketball coach hesitates to take
Bill Wilson to Pueblo, for fear one of
the keepers will recognize him.
The Juniors are endeavoring to de-
wise ways and means of raising the nee
essary spondulix to provide the out
going class with an elaborate banquet.
The high school five defeated team
lage Wednesday. The score was 1925.
