Mildly presented by the High
School Glee clubs last Friday eve
ming at the Palace Theater proved
to be one of the most entertaining.
numbers of the school year. Every
one who took part played their
part excellently, thus making the
entire performance success. Much
credit for the success of the oper-
eta is due to the untiring efforts
of Miss Hill and Miss Colcord, who
trained the Glee clubs in their
work. Miss Lulu Freeman of
Brayton as pianist did remarkably
we'll and her efforts were greatly
appreciated by the audience.
The Boys Glee Club plans to 60

near future. Our boys are doing
some splendid work this year and
will give very creditable account
of themselves.
