BY THE OCALA SCHOOLS

boys of the Ocala schools. it has not
been from lack of appreciation of the
event, but because we were unable to
obtain all the information we needed
until Tuesday.
1t was certainly a pleasant event,
and one in which the people of the
city took the greatest interest, there
being few families in Ocala not per-
sonally connected with the young
performers or their friends.
The town was not alone, for many
people came in from the country, both
to see friends and have a good time.
/ Conscious of warm sympathy and
appreciation for their work, the young
performers had not the self-conscious-
ness that often effects amateurs They
made few mistakes and those who did
added only to the fun.
The Parade

around the public square late Friday
afternoon. There have been longer
lparades but few as well designed and
interesting.
Leading the parade were the her.
