Miss Cooks Readings
Delight Her Audience

Last Friday evening Miss Mabel
Cook of Chippewa Falls gave a num-
Der of readings at the high school.
The program was held under the
auspices of the Girls Declamatory
Club. Her humorous selections were
greeted with loud applause and the
audience did not miss the fine dra-
matte quality shown in "The Death of
Agrippina." Miss Cook has a very
pleasing personality and held her
audience to the last minute without
any apparent effort on her part. 1t
is to be hoped that the declamatory
girls viii make arrangements to have
her here again next year.
