HONOR ROLL OF lo4 NAMES
GIVEN TO HIGH SCHOOL



| Patriot. other students were given
certificates. Miss Davis prepared the
faultless programs which were mime
ographed for the convenience of the
guests Tuesday night.
Because of the illness of Miss Mary
F. Clark, instructor in French, the
French class had to cancel their part
of the program.
"Three of Kind" was the title of
the comedy, and it had absolutely
nothing to do with poker, but rather
with general mix-up over the identi-
ty of Miss Darlington, the new gov
| erness for the Atkins youngsters. 1t
was bright and breezy and full of
| laughs and the students interpreted
the characters mighty we'll This was
the cast:
Eloise Atkins, IT years, Helen
Phillips; Ruth, IA years, Ruth AL
drich; Vera, IA years, Margaret Fra
sier; Barbara, years, Annette John
son; Sally Mason, Id years, Elsie Gal
liant; Miss Darlington, adult, jean
cite Gilbert; Robert Atkins, 5 years,
John Hogan.
At the close of the program the au-
dience arose and sang America.
A half-hour drill by the Cadet COM
pany in the gymnasium proved to be
lust as interesting as any part OF the
entertainment. The boys are work
ing hard and taking lot of pride in
making the company thoroughly
military organization. They marched
well, they put lot of pep into the
work, and they obeyed the commands
with ease. One buck private in the
rear rank had to scratch his ear when
the company was at attentions
rockies are wont to do-and turning
short corners in the gymnasium has
shown its effect in the lack of march
ing in cadence, but, as Mr. Snow an
nounced this is the nucleus for a
larger company and with the opening
of spring weather when the boys can
drill out of doors, faster improvement
will be observed. AS it is, the boys
are doing exceptionally well, and IA
theirs and mothers may well be proud
of their sons as future soldiers.
The company was reviewed by
Capt. J. J. McGarry Of the Connect
cut State Guard reserve corps, and
DR.. Edward F. Perry, recently dis
charged from the United States Army
Medical service.
Capt. McGarry gave the company
some advice in military matters and
encouraged and complimented the
company on its work.
An exhibition of the handiwork OF
the trade school, domestic science,
sewing and typewriting departments
was interesting to everyone. For
men must work and women must
weep, may be true in a sense. but II
the women folk weeped while at work
in the domestic science room they'd
spill tears into the 100 per cent bal
anced-ration lunch that was exhibited
and fill the fudge and cakes and cook
les with too much salt. The speci-
mems of culinary art certainly did
look tempting.
In the sewing room there were
pretty things made by the tots and
more difficult work by the advanced
classes. They all looked very nice,
but there were lot Of frilly things
the Patriot gem didn't know much
about, but which the ladies cooed ov-
er with apparent pleasure.
The trade school exhibits included
carpentry work and machine-tool
work all carefully executed Samples
of spinning and weaving from the
textile department were shown. A
speed test in typewriting in the COM
mercial room showed the students to
