Good Program Held

Last Thursday evening in the
auditorium of the Sacred Heart
school building a program was
put on by the pupils of the
Catholic school to which the pub
lie had a cordial invitation to at
tend. The entertainment started
at eight o'clock and long before
the s. R. o. sign was hung out,
the auditorium, halls, corridors
and every available space was
occupied. The program was one
of the best ever put on in any
school building and met with the
approval of everyone present.
The recitation by Theodore Lud-
wig. me Auld High Eat" was
certainly a stemwinder and the
way in which the young man got
off the expressions had the crowd
going and right here we say he
is certainly in q class by himself.
