GYM CLASSES FOR
TOWN GIRLS TO
START MARCH 8
Many Attend Meeting Mon
day Night and Sign Up

About 30 young women of the
town met on Monday evening at
the "Y" in response to a call is
sued last week by those interested
in forming classes for women of
the town under the auspices of the
Y. w. c. A.
The unanimous choice of those
present was for the formation of
gym" class, organization was
Immediately effected and plans for
the course outlined, Miss Krall
State Y. VIC. A. Secretary who
met with the girls, stated that the
physical director from the Will
mington Association could be Sc
cured at very little expense for
one night week. The girls de-
cided that Monday night was the
time most convenient for all.
The course, Miss Krall said,
would begin on March 8 and con-
tinue for ten weeks. The cost per
pupil would not exceed $1.50 or
approximately 15t per week.
Boomers, MILDLY blouses and
rubber-soled or bathing shoes will
be procured by each member of
the class. 1t is desirable that
these be procured as soon as pos
sible but it is not essential that
they be provided in time for the
first meeting, March 8.
A discussion as to member
ship confirmed the statement
made last week that the class is
open to women married or single,
regardless of age, with the solitary
exception that girls in high school
will not be admitted. Plans have
been made for them. Girls of this
age not in high school will, how
ever be admitted.
Previous to and following the
meeting, games were played and
greatly enjoyed by those present.
Since Monday evening when 30
signed up for the class, number
of others have signed for the ten
week course and keen interest has
been displayed by those who for
valid reasons will be prevented
from joining.
Music for the gym" class will
be furnished by Miss Elsie Wright.
Other features it is understood
will be introduced as we'll as the
floor work, and the girls are look
ing forward to a profitable and en-
joyable 10 weeks. The fact that
the course will be completed by
May l., before warm weather sets
in, is point that appeals to many
of those interested

DIR AMATIC CLUB
DOES FINE WORK
Presents Play to Crowded
House Monday Night

Before a crowded house on Mon
day night, members of the Dra-
matte Club of the local high school
presented the comedy Miss Fear
less and Co." The young people
acquitted themselves admirably,
rejecting great credit upon their
organization and upon Miss Irene
Roe, who coached them. An out
standing feature Of the affair was
the fitness of each member of the
cast for the character delineated.
The interpretations were uniform
ly good. Alma Dunlevy as Miss
Euphemia Addison, the nervous,
sentimental old maid, did some
very clever acting. Mildred Major
as Miss Sara Lovejoy portrayed a
difficult part exceedingly we'll and
Helen Pillsbury as "Just Lizzie"
child brought up as thief but
amenable to good treatment, was
also very clever. Anna Patchell,
as the heiress had a difficult part
and took it admirably. Hazel
Collins, 'Beulah Law, Sara Lovett,
Paul Steel and Charles Blest, all
did excellent work.
The mandolin club consisting of
Arunah Armstrong, Earl Evans,
Courtland Houghton, and Miss
Blanche King played between acts
and the Glee Club sang "Shadows
Over the Sea" and "Alma Mater"
under the direction of Miss Irene
Roe. The following young ladies
took part in the chorus:
Sopranos-Alma Dunlevy, Dor
othy Cooper, Hannah Lindell, Mil
dred Major, Margaret Burkett,
Alta Crouch, Evelyn Carpenter
and Hazel Kennedy.

Board of Tax

Local Board Sends Letter After
Meeting
Asks that District be Advised
as to Mode of Dissolution

AS a result Of the meeting on
Thursday night, the School Board
sent the following letter to the
States Board immediately:
Newark, Del,
Feb. 27, 1920.
Mr.. George B. Miller,
President State Board of Educa-
tion,
Wilmington, Delaware.
Dear Sir.
At meeting of the taxpayers
of the Newark Special School Dis
trict held in the Academy Build
ing, Newark, February 26, 1920,
the question whether Newark
Special School District should be-
come part of the county system
was discussed.
1t was the consensus of opinion
of majority Of those present that
the amount Of tax required to con-
tinue Newark as a Special School
District spuld be excessive, and
that the Special School District
should be dissolved and become
part of the county system. We
therefore ask that you give the
taxpayers opinion due considera-
tion and advise us what steps to
take after your so doing.
Very truly yours,
Board of Education,
Newark Special District,
E. L. Richards, President,
Phineas Morris, Secretary.
