characters from Mother Goose, maids
in crinolines and powdered hair a
bevy of beauties representing every
nation and every cline. and stalwart
warriors from every period of history,
made up the grand march at the high
school last night, when the seniors
marched from the gymnasium to the
auditorium in brilliant formation, to
enjoy the program in which some of
the marchers were themselves to take
part.
The entertainment, which was given
| by the faculty to the P. H. S. seniors,
was the first large school entertain
ment given in the auditorium, and as
special guests of the evening, mem
| bers Of the girls basketball team from
Barton Academy, Mobile, took part in
the grand march, and enjoyed the
many pleasures of the evening.
Under the erection OF Mrs. E. NJ.
Schornherst a number of beautiful
tableaux had been arranged, with sew
eral musical numbers and readings.
The entertainment was the out
growth of a plan for tableaux repre-
senting scenes from some of the par
allel reading of the English class, and
when the curtain rose on the first
group, the famine scene from HiaWa
tina was given in a realistic manner.
The costuming was most striking
and the scene was carried out in a
wonderfully convincing way, the
| lighting effects adding very much to
the beauty of the tableaux.
The witches scene from Macbeth
| followed, and the parts of the three
old crones were well taken, their eerie
song, as they danced around the bub-
| bling cauldron having the effect of
witches dance indeed.
The spinning scene from the Court
ship of Miles Standish was a charming
third on the program, the Puritan
maid, Priscilla, handling her wheel
with skill, while John Alden stood by
in so realistic a pose that one could
almost hear the smiling maiden say:
| why don't you speak for yourself,
John?"
Then came Mrs. Wigs, with Euro
pena, Asia and Australia. Could any
thing be more delightful than that
whimsical bit where the little Wigs
are being attired for the party, and
are having their Oraids ironed, that
they may remain we'll crimped and
curled for the great event? The di-
vision of the party clothes brought
much applause for this number diff
fered from the three which had pre-
coded It, by having dialogue and &C
ton intro duced, and ELECTED much APP
piause. a. did every number presented,
each of which was encored.
The part of Hiawatha was taken
by Henry Frater. that of Minnehaha
by Edna Wolfe, and Nokomis by Nora
Tinden.
The witches parts were taken by
Carrie Mae Curtis, Mary Wentworth
and Elizabeth Reynolds.
daude Williams played the part of
Priscilla and William Breen was John
Alden.
Lotiise Davis was Mrs. Wigs, with
Lois Cant as Europena, Lillian Jones
as Asia and Louise Schambeau as
Australia.
Mrs. Charles NJ. Kelley. whose beau
tiful voice was heard to special adj
vantage in the we'll pitched auditor
ium. sang several numbers, among
which were IF Flowers Could Speak,
by Mana yucca, and will You Re-
member"
Another decided success of the eve
ming was an Interpretation OF Ram
sew Milholland of Booth Harrington
bv Miss Sarah Fulton, she having
taken the story which represents Ram
sew at the debate on the invasion OF
Relgiun by Germany. Miss Fulton
captured her audience from the mo-
ment she began the impersonation,
and the Joy Of the students, and par
ticrIarlv the male members, was
voiced In frequent laughter and ap-
plause as they followed the iIl-fat-
ed Ramsey to his defeat.
Miss Elizabeth Moreno accompanied
Mrs. Kelley on the piano, and Mrs.
Lois Grier gave a musical NUMBER
which was greatly enjoyed.
A surprise which added much to the
fun of the evening was quartette'
the parts of which were taken by four
of the teachers, who gave burlesque
presentation of a Spinster's Quartette,
which was one of the hits of the eve
ming.
Following the program, the entire
assemblage enjoyed an hour OF rec
reation and music in the gymnasium,
after which. delicious course of
creamed oysters on toast, coffee, ice
cream and cake was served.

tertained were Mrs. Schornherst, Miss
Maude Suter, Miss Buda Day, Miss
Lois Grier. Miss Florida Waite, Miss
