n was before an audience OF par
.,,s and patrons that packed con-
,srtion hall and overflowed into the
,ohbies that the first program of
,he eltbth annual exhibits of the
g'isa city schools was held Wednes-
dsv night The exhibit itself was
nan In tho afternoon and preced-
ing the program.
Perhaps nothing else could have
an demonstrated the excellent train
ing Of the pupils who had n part
IN last nights program as the sud-
isn rain and electrical rainstorm
,sat rather disrupted the audience
md made continuous light n seri-
ons nroblem. The first thunder
ssn, scores in the audience scurry-
,.g bome there was confusion as
,hev went out and the usual rest
iessness and disorder at first among
snecta,ors when the lights failed.
In. the pupils on the stage did
much towards restoring order and
bolding the crowd together during
later periods of intermittent dark
moss by either standing quietly or
going on with the performance. by
he dim light Of the candle footlights
hastily provided, as though nothing
had happened.
Play Scores Hit.
The Greek play How Alcestis
Was Saved" given by the Pershing
school pupils in Mrs. Helen Wink
Ier's class scored a tremendous hit.
Appropriately costumed. the young
nayers evinced not only good train
,ng but genuine histrionic ability
md Intelligent understanding OF the
ext. Their diction was excellent
and the young voices were so
pitched that every world could be
understood.
The high school band opened the
program. Rhythm work by first
grade pupils from Lincoln school
followed the giving of the play.
The string chorus work by a large
group Of pupils from the grade
schools was interesting from stu
dents viewpoint and was note
worthy for the perfect unison in
bowing. 1.-the grace and agility
and evidence of training above the
ordinary was shown n the apparatus
work by boys and girls of the high
school training classes. A chorus
made up Of departmental grade
Students gave n group OF songs fol-
lowing the physical department
demonstration.
Wonderful Drilling.
War veterans surely have had TO
look TO their laurels in drill when
ever Washington Junior high school
boys are about: the marching and
drilling and Indian club work done
by them last night was .ost re-
markable and done with the ha-a'
cap of uncertain light and fluctuat-
ing audience as 1t was, drew
thoroughly appreciative applause
from the audience. The witches
drill by the fourth grade f-"1n
Riverview was cleverly done, in
costume, and the boys glee club
from the high school closed the
program.
The exhibit itself Ia one of the
largest ever held by the school sys-
TEN and the displays have never
been more interesting than they are
this year. The booths, the shaded
floor lamps. the busy scene OF ac-
uvity where students are doing ac-
tual work in their departments as
they do 1t in school make the center
ioor. devoted to the exhibit, a de-
hehtful picture as well as interest
ing place. Perhaps no other one
tning attracted more attention last
hght than the miniature house
eieetrically lighted and fully fur
hished, that Is the work of grades
seven and eight at Kendall school
=. The exhibits are open today and
