SCHOOL HAPPENINGS.

"a Box of Monkeys" the first play
of the year, given Monday morning,
was great success. The cast was
chosen from the Boys and Girls ORA
matte Clubs. Both clubs are now I'M
der the supervision of Miss Cumnock.
Florence Peterson, who took the part
of Sierra Bengaline from the Western
prairies, certainly shocked her digni-
fed Eastern relative She was a typ-
ical Western girl, trimming over with
pep, and perfectly capable of using
American slang. Carl Schmidt, a
young American by the name of Ed
ward Ralston, will be famous in the
future if he continues his clever act
ing. He not only played the part OF
a young American, greatly interested
in Sierra, and to some extent the
Sierra gold mine, which as yet was
minus the gold, but also the part of
william and a butler as occasion
offered. Lady Guinevere Llandpoore,
an English primrose, was played by
Kathryn Butler. Her great desire 10
be like an American girl male her
an apt pupil of Sierra's. Her prim
English manners were soon abandoned
for Sierra's snappy Ame$<an ways.
Joseph Bell, who is indeed an English
man, took the part of Chauncey Ogel-
/ I'll orpe. His one drawback in winning
Lady Guinevere was shyness. How
ever, with little training from Ed
ward and aided by his monocle, he
soon overcame his great bashfulness
and won his English Lady. Mrs. On
digo Jhones, great admirer of rank,
was played by Dorothy Wolcott. AL
though she appeared very proud and
dignified she proved to all that she
was clever deceiver. She was jubi-
liant over The conclusion of affairs.
The play ended as many plays do. The
! gold mine was a success. Chauncey
Oglethorpe and Edward Ralston not
only won their hearts desires, but
also gained favor in the eyes of Mrs.
Ondigo Jhones. Thus they all lived
happily ever after
The work &C the art class has for
the past week Aaen devoted entirely
to color work. Although the foliage
offers an excellent subject for pastel
work, the heavens have managed to
! supply US with rain as soon as we
are ready to start on our sketching
trips. Thursday, of last week, Miss
Wenzel was detained with a slight
cold, so the art class went sketcAing.
We chose for our subject the Episco-
pal Church on Church street. Our
work in class has consisted of draw
ing odd vases and jars, always of an
odd color, our color boxes only offer
ing the opposite shades.
The high school football team mad
an easy time in downing the Lincoln
High eleven last Saturday The final
score was 1910. Though outweighed
by more than twenty pounds to the
man, too much praise cannot be given
to the visitors for their plucky fight.
This was the first victory for the
local eleven, but everybody went out
to the Country Day School on Satur-
day to see them win another.
Last Friday the Wauwatosa Light
| weights, under the coach, Raymond
Schmidt, played the Country Day
School Midgets and held them to a
scoreless tie. c. Ackley, M. Smithy-
man, F. Millard and j. Denniston fea-
| tured for the Wauwatosa team. The
ball was Wauwatosa's, with but six
inches to go at the end of the game.
The meeting of the Camera Club,
| held Thursday, Oct. 10, was called to

Although military drill is not re-
quired this year the students answered
the call for recruits with great en-
thusias1n. The company has thirteen
old members and twenty-one new ones.
With but two nights to drill, the
crack squad gave an exhibition drill

day morning of last week. Mr.. Postel

The plan for news items was con-
tinued this year. Each Tuesday morn

topic of interest. These items are

body as a whole, as we'll as for the
individual benefit to the student in
becoming accustomed to speaking be-
