THE GLAD NEW YEAR.

The good old year is passing
And it's close is almost here.
For we hear the rapid footsteps.
OF the coming glad New Year.
Yes, the glad New Year is waiting
Just outside our very door.
Laden with untold blessings
Which it has for us in store.
Blessings Of promised harvests,
From hillside and the fertile plain,
From the vineyards and the orchards,
And from the fields of golden grain
Pastures clothed in yerdure,
OF glorious living green,
On every hand are blessings,
Which the New Year brings are seen
The mountains high and canyons deep
Are stored with glisteninp snow
Natures great reservoirs of wealth.
From which will streams in summer
flow.
Yes, the SHOWS upon the mountain
And the showers upon the plain
Assures US abundant harvest
When harvest comes again.
Yes, the glad New Year is waiting
Just outside our very door
Laden down with countless blessings
Which it has for us 10 store.
May we raise to God our voices
In most earnest glad refrain
That we're spared to give a welcome
To the glad New Year again.

Musical Comedy "All Aboard Presented
BY Local Talent

The musical sketch "All Aboard
was presented by cast of ITO High
School people on Thursday and Friday
nights of last week. Each member of
the cast did his or her work in credit
able manner which was pleasing to all.
The scenes were laid on board the
ship s. S. Florida. The following peo-
pie made up the cast: Billy Brady,
college boy, who has lost four teeth in
a football game, and is trying TO keep
his secret from his sweetheart Beatrice
who was played by Lorraine Boheim.
was impersonated by Phil Brewer.
Rosalia Schaumberg was Dorothy Bra
( dy, Billys little sister. Irwin White took
4 the role of Johnny Thomas, college
mother, Mrs. Sloane, Lester Evans,
Captain Kidd, Jack Jeuck, Alexander
G. Phone, porter, Priscilla Joscelyn,
Jennie, the stewardess, and Edward
Clayton and John Correll, two sailor
boys
The various roles were very well
adapted to the players and very clever
ly played by them During the second
act several special numbers were intro
duced and were appreciated by all. A
vocal solo by Miss May H. York, very
clever interpretive bance by Miss
lsadora Huff, and several numbers by
the Hill City Quartet were featured
and all were heartily encored.
The work of the song and chorus
groups featured because of their stun
ming costumes and uniqueness of pre-
sentation. The choruses consisted of
the following groups Boys,
Yachting Girls, Tourists, Sailor Boys.
Sailor Girls, Overall Girls, Sweethearts,
Bashful Bumblebees, Fishing Girls,
Nymphs, Witches and Antidotes, each
contributing song and dance.
The play contained plenty of action
and fairly sparkled with humor which
no one could resist The antics of
the dusky Alexander and comical
Swedish stewardess. the amazing re-
marks of Billys well meaning and de-
voted sister, Dorothy the frantic search
by Billy for his new 'set" of false
teeth, and the almost impossible dance
of Barney and Bull brought forth laugh
after laugh from the audience.
Mach credit is due to the accompan-
ist. asiarion Huxtable, who did the work
unassisted and was so faithful and re-
Liable in her efforts at all times.
The teachers of the High School and
several of the grades assisted in the
production of the play very efficiently
as student chaperones.
During the finale of the first act the
four lady principals and the pianist re-
ceived bouquets with compliments of
the High School.
The comedy was staged under the
supervision Of Mr.. Josef Seabold, of {
John b. Rogers Company of Fostoria,
Ohio, and was financial success. ,
The schools close at noon this Friday
for Christmas vacation and will open ,

Upon taking our exchanges for
authority, there are more poor people
in the large and small cities of this
country than during either of the two
Christmas seasons next preceding this.
1t is hoped the report is incorrect.
But if true, one prime cause is the
fact that dollars in the hands of Ameri-
cans during the years of 1919 and 1920
were handled more careless than pennies
have been ordinarily.
