SiidTlleu the audience with her sweet
voice and pleasing manners; Jack and
Jill, played by Duane Wells and Helen
Kuenzli, had such good time that
we forgot they were not the original
pair; Lady Bunny and Sir Thomas
Grimalkin, the parts being taken by
Catherine VerHalen and Edward Bair,
not only assisted in amusing Peggy,
but made it possible for the story to
end as all good fairy stories do. They
we're married and lived happily evct
after.
We must not forget the Chorus If
forty voices who helped to entertain
Peggy with several songs. The Oper-
eta was given under the direction of
the teachers of the Central and Lin
coin Buildings.
We appreciate very much the CO.
operation of the parents in helping to
make this program a success.
The annual Declamatory Contest
was held Tuesday, May 2, at the high
school. All the classes were repre-
sented, and the girls did exceptional
work. The selections were well chosen
and proved most interesting. The sue

the fine training the girls had had with
Miss Cumnock who certainly deserves
vote of thanks for her efforts. The

| has moved his office to the Lincoln
School his new telephone number is
Wauwatosa 1908.
The commencement program Of TIM.
year will be similar to that Of the
last, as there will be speeches made
by the students.
About the middle of May, contrac-
tors will be breaking ground for the
new addition to the Lincoln School
Building. The students are wonder
ing what is going to happen to their
play ground, which is now entirely too
small.
Two years ago there was a plan ON
foot to purchase a strip of land on the
west side of Wisconsin Avenue, giving
it over to the school for play ground
Nothing developed, however, and more
and more of the play ground has been
occupied by additional buildings.
When this addition is finished, there
viii be about enough play ground .eiJ
for an ordinary family. 1t is not pos
sible for small children to 60 10 lAe
city park at recess or at noon to play
Where shall they go?
