CLOSING OF FAIR PLAY SCHOOL.
Exercises Brought to Close IL Bril-
liant and Successful Session.

Fair Play, May 15.-special: The
exercises of the Fair Play High
School came to q brilliant close on
last Friday night. The operetta CIV
en- by Miss Thompson was indeed
rose dream. AS the eight roses in
red and While paper dresses, and the
eight fairies in airy dresses Of yell
low and white tulle, CANT fitting in
tc take their places OIL tho stage
around the little rose who was
dreaming, one felt as though in
Fairyland. Their sweet young voices
were blended in lovely music, and
the twins, "Can" and Cant" Hop
o-My-Thumb and the beautiful
queen, caused much favorable com.
mcnt in the audience. Adding to
this beautiful scene happy little
messenger in emerald green came
tripping IN to the strains Of the
lovely music, announcing the arrival
OF tiny rosebud. The awakening
or the little rose ani the chorus by
the fairies and roses brought 10
close this wonderful visit to Fab v
land. The children's voices were en-
tirely unframed until Miss Thomp-
son began the work about month
ago. At the beginning of the year
Miss Thompson offered prize to
the pupil who did the best work
during the term. This prize, a hand
some laValliere, was awarded ITO
Hazel Leathers. Montez Marett was
such close second that she was
awarded q lovely pin. The children
showed most careful training, re-
fiecting much credit both to them

Miss Thompson will be with us an
other yeJr.
