The Patrons Day" and Spring
Festival" of the Bonners Ferry schools
held last Friday afternoon was at
tended by large crowd of parents
but the exhibits and entertainment af-
forded was worthy of much larger
assembly.
The Spring Festival marked the
closing of school in the grades and
each room took some part in the pro-
gram which was rendered on the lawn
between the grade and the high school
buildings.
Dramatized stories were given by
the small pupils of the first grade,
Miss Chestek. teacher, the children
acting the parts they recited of we'll
known fables and stories with morals.
The first grade pupils also gave a
pretty little folk dance and then the
second grade pupils gave Princess
Beautiful" a song story, in very
pleasing manner.
Little Daisy Warwick was heartily
encored in a pretty fan dance which
she had been taught by her grand
mother. Mrs. /. d. Lyons and in which
she displayed her wonderful ability
and gracefulness.
The pupils of Miss Hawkins room,
the third grade, sang a song entitled,
Robins Nest and the pupils of Miss
Wales room, the fifth grade, sang,
Santa Lucia" These two numbers
were beautiful and were as good ex-
amples of chorus singing as one could
expect to hear anywhere.
Miss Lucille Burns appeared in
Highland Fling and her dancing was
remarkable and would have done cred
1t to a professional.
The rendition of "Proserpina" by
the fourth grade pupils, Miss Buchan-
an, teacher, was another pleasing
number of the program and the in
strumental quartette by Carl Walden.
Wesley Wilbur, Howard Benner and
Harold Reid was perfectly rendered
!, and displayed musical talent not Of
ten found in the public schools in
, young boys.
The Wise Jackal" was presented
by the fourth grade pupils and this
grade and the fifth grade gave pretty
folk dance entitled Gathering Pea
= pods"
One OF the pretty musical numbers
= of the program was the selection by
) the Ukulele Club, girls of the eighth
: grade, trained by Miss Laurel Gleed,
of the music and art department
The program closed with the singing
of the Star Spangled Banner by the
entire school
2 After the program Supt Kerr invited
the assembly, to visit the various
grade rooms and see the exhibits OF
work which had been done by the pu-
pills during the year. These exhib-
S its were not selected from the best
work done but showed the general
I run of test papers, art work, map
drawing, penmanship, etc. These ex-
q hibits were truly interesting and
i showed the progress being made by
n the pupils and the high standard set
n by the teaching corps. The penman-
n ship exhibits showed that great care
, is being taken in this branch of study
Il and in all the grades and in the spec
: ial exhibit in the high school building
, considerable surprise was expressed
: at the well-done and pretty art dis
! plays.
: The manual training exhibits and
n those of the domestic science depart
ment cannot be too highlys praised
The work exhibited had been done by
both pupils of the grades and of the
high school, In the manual training
e department were shown all kinds OF
e useful furniture, perfectly made and
d beautifully finished-pieces that would
If grace any of the homes OF the city
0. while in the domestic science depart
e ment were exhibits of plain and fancy
n sewing, done by young girls, that
2 made most of the ladies seeing then
lie most envious. Miss Squirting, the do
l. nestle science teacher, asked one
little miss il her mother mad helpeC
lie her with the dress she had on exhibit
he INC. she can't do 1t as good as ! can.
is was the answer which wouJl prob
IN eb'y hold good in the case OF the otn
e. er d.srlays.
