A large crowd attended and
thoroughly enjoyed the program
given by the local school on Satur-
day evening. Many remarks were
heard in praise of both pupils and
teachers and it was performance
that would do credit to much
larger town.
The program began with whist
ling number entitlen, "The Merry
Farmer Boy" acted out by Marion
Bradshaw with song and whistled by
the boys of the intermediate grades.
The second number was entitled
"a Visit to Sleepy Town." by the
primary grades; Miss Nora Roberts,
teacher. 1t began with a tambour-
inc drill by the boys of the room
who, after completing their drill,
announced the coming of the Rain
bow Fairies. In danced the girls
of the primary grades, attired in
dainty fairy costumes in the rain
bow colors with silver crowns and
wands and went through a graceful
drill. They were then joined by
their fairy queen (Verna Gillilan)
and the boys song, the SLEEPY
Song" swaying to the rythm. The
effect was very pretty.
The seventh grade, H. c.
Hampton, teacher, presented its
contribution next. 1t was a play
lette representing graduation
class and its difficulties. The class:
Iva Raymond, Edmond Reconzone,
Blanch Davis, Merva Fritchen, Az
ultima Gastagna and Elmo Recon-
zone; Miss Bell, a teacher, Fermina
Echeverria; Joe, the Janitor, Lilo

After many mishaps, accidents
and discouragements which created
much merriment for the audience
and disgust for the grumpy" jan
itor, the class decides to line up
to its motto: 1--WE Will Overcome
Our Difficulties" This play furn-
ished the comedy of the evening,
as well as pointing out a moral.

eta, "The Flower Nymph's/ Sur
PRISE" by the pupils of the fourth
fifth and sixth grades; Miss Flor
ence Case, teacher. A synopsis,
