HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

i & 4 \ 4a
| Miss Browns classes have not been
meeting for the past two weeks as she
has been at home on account of the ill
ness and death Of her father.
| We had pep meeting Friday morn
ing to give added assurance to the
boys that we are back Of them first
to last.
The sale of Booster tickets which
was carried on the last part of last
week and the first part Of this, Melted
$4,000.
The Sophomore program was open
ed by singing Of the Sophomore class
song by Florence Larson and Alexan-
dra Amundson. It's good song and
was finely rendered.
The next number was reading by
Harriet Winterer which was splen-
did. She proved that sh would make
an Al model school teacher if-there
were no Johns, no Miss Perkins, no
Cadillacs and no pupils or boards of
education. But Cupid triumphed as
he usually does.
Jim McFadgen was the cookbook
ing, dashing young hero in eth Mouse
Trap" who couldn't fail to win the APP
proval or love of the fascinating her.
Dine Helen U1vin in the end. But it
was rather hard hearted of him to
brighten her into Mysteries by mere
mention of an imaginary mouse. She
showed him that she had good lungs
though. Elsie jacobson made very
docile srvant until-the mouse was
mentioned. She is very agile. The
lady visitors Alexandra Amundson,
l s,>$a
| son found their hostess in very I'M
dignifed position but they soon had
the same position-on chairs. Jim
finally took her suggestion and took
her down by force-in his arms.
Mrs. McWilliams or Ella Hoodhouse
provd to be afraid of thunder and
lightning, Mr.. McWiliams or Ralph
/ Curren wasn't afraid of that but he
was something" 1--WE won't call it
,afraid) of Mrs. McWilliams. He made
a very picturesque figure when, at his
wife's command he stood upon chair
| in the middle of the. floor, sword
strappd about him, helmet on, ringing
a cowbell to chase the lightning away
or so that it would do no harm.
Lenora Boyd held the audience
GREATNESS with her reading entitled
f"The Soul of the Violin" It was a
very pothetic piec and touched the
hearts of those who listened. Flor
ence Larson accompanied her.
The Minstrel Show was next on the
program and we hardly recognized
our own schoolmates. Nathaniel Fin
ney was the ring leadr and he surely
showed off the intelligence to perfec-
ton. We learned that Mr.. Bones, Ar
thur Olson considers fool nonpar-
tisan. which is just about right. Har-
old Raney explained to the audience
the difference between stammering
] and suffering in most unintelligible
manner possible.
Marjorie Galley gave very cordial
invitation to Harold Raney to "speak
up and spress hisself," which he suit
ed to action rather than words.
i Ronald Wright sang an effective
solo about tgrizzley bar" which fill
ed everyone with with terror. Ronald
has splendid tenor voice.
I Elsie jacobson favored us with sew
|eral graceful and pretty fancy dances.
She took her part finely. s 5a
Loretta Simpson won the hearts of |
all present in her character of vam-
pre-.
"Bob" Russell WIS resplendent in
white suit and the wy he handled his
musical instrument was nothing slow.
Florence Larson gave us a violin |
solo and dance combined which was
very we'll done.
Robert Cook tried to captivate ev-
cry one and he certainly succeeded.
Inga Baarstad looked very gay and
took her part very well.
The juniors start work on the play |
next week. Its going to be a fine
play and every one who doesn't go
will miss something very fine, which
they can't afford to do. So remember
the night of the Junior play is to be
red letter night.
