Peirce School Entertainment
A Week in Sunbonnet Land.

\ Neek IN Sunbonnet Lano.
The entertainment given by the pupils
of the Peirce school in the Armory last
Thursday evening was one OF the best
things of the season and the expression
| has frequently been heard that II was
genuine pleasure to see natural real life
without paint, etc. The children oc :
cupied several rows of the front seats
and all seemed filled with school pride
and endeavor to do their parts. What
errors occurred seemed only to add
TO the interest of the large audience.
Supt. Z. E. Roderick thanked the audi
ence and explained that the proceeds OF
the entertainment were to be used to
place single seats and desks in one of the
rooms of the building instead OF the dou-
bic ones now in use. The seats really
needed for the entire building would cost
$3.50, but he admired the teachers cour-
age IN taking the proposition room by
room and thought they would succeed in
time. He also referred to what the
school has done in the past four years
with money raised by these annual en-
tertalnments, the purchase OF playing
ground apparatus, including slippysllde,
a giant stride, swings etc, also an Edison
machine, a piano and twenty five refer
ence books for the school library. At
intermission the pupils sold candy
throughout the audience and did thriv-
ing business.
Many parents and friends were espec-
tally interested in the display of number
work. drawing, arts and Gratis work on
display in the rear of the hall

end, Mrs. Annie X. Adams, Mrs. Annie
c. Black, Mrs. Ella X. Foster, Miss Mar
