to the class, and the wish was ex-
pressed that the class of Roosevelt
of 1922 should register 100 per cent
high school.
Wednesday evenings program was
given by the grades from the first
through the seventh. The cantata by
the first grade, "A Day in the Woods"
was very cunning, and the chorus and
solo parts of the school babies showed
especially good training. The Mexi-
can grades number, "Whistling joe"
was well received, and it was inter-
esting to note the pleasure the chill
dren seemed to take in singing. The
second grade had two numbers, a
chorus by the boys, The Funniest
Man ] Ever Knew which gave the
audience a good laugh, and q pretty
group song by the girls, Little All
San The dance of the dolls, by the
girls of the third grade, showed some
very effective costumes and some
beautiful dance stcps-the children
We're very ambitious and gave an
operetta, THE Quest of the Pink
Parasol." A great deal of preparatory
work was shown in the presentation
Of this number. The parts were all
well taken. Particularly pretty was
the finale--the group song after the
queen fairy with her magic wand had
changed the dead poppies into fairies.
The music of the operetta was very
tunefui and .he costumes were lovely.
The sixth grade boys and girls
sang a group song. The fifth grade
girls sang The Japanese Sand Man."
The Japanese costumes worn by the
girls made this number unusually at
tractive. The seventh grade boys and
girls sang America the Beautiful"
A cleverly costumed Uncle Sam ana
n Goddess of Liberty led the singing.
The chorus, 'Huckleberry Finn" by
the fifth grade boys was given with
much spirit. and the bare feet, ragged
trousers. battered hats. and fishing
poles gave true color to the number.
