irresistible music and clever humor
are tactfully blended in this little COM

aided by the elaborate Japanese cos
tunes and rustic furniture, forms a
very realistic scene. Cherryblossom,

is, in reality, Miss Evelyn Barnes of
New York, but has been reared as the
daughter of .Kokemo, whose part is
taken by Russell Brewer. Ermon Kier,

An error was made in last weeks

cial encouragement of the use of bet
ter speech. Tag days have been held
on which the users of poor English
have been rewarded with tags, which
they are obliged to wear. Suitable
posters made by the students have
been placed in conspicuous places about
the building and in every possible way
students are being urged to adopt bet
ter forms of speaking English. An
interesting program, especially pre-
pared in celebration of Armistice Day
and Better Speech week will be held in
the high school assembly room at 1880
Friday. The public is cordially invit-
ed to attend.
