Fair and Circus at High
School Was Great Success

ne idlr anu CIRCUS nelo at the
Douglas county high school last FRI
day night under the auspices Of the
students body of that institution, was
decided success and It seems hardly
possible that fair such as was held
could have been talked up and the
exhibits gathered In the brief space
OF one week. The fair was attended
by nearly eight hundred people, ac-
cording to careful estimates. and
everyone in attendance declared that
the students we're deserving Of the
highest commendation for their ef-
forts.
Primarily, the fair and circus was
given for the purpose Of raising funds
for the athletics and home economics
department Of the high school. The
fair did work out as q drawing card
for the circus, and while no admis-
sion was charged to view the exhibits,
the circus. vaudeville and other shows
given by the students was literally
patronized by the vast crowd.
The exhibit of potatoes, apples,
strawberries and garden products
were of the highest order and many
In attendance could scarcely believe
that such superior exhibits were pro-
ducts of Carson Valley soil. The
farmers became deeply interested in
the exhibits and discussed the various
products freely. A few believed that
had they tried for a prize. they could
have won and during the discussion
1t was decided to endeavor to have
the student body repeat the fair next
fall. only on large scale, with pos
sibly the addition of a livestock ex-
hibit.
Without question. the fair last Sat-
urday night, was quite the most popu-
lar event that has been held In this
community In some time, and the
students. and the faculty of the high
school are deserving of the highest
commendation.
