School Children's Exhibition Delights
Clouds and breeZes did not dampen
| the enthusiasm of young life nor of
the parents and friends of the chill
dren of the North Grammar school,
who met in Monument park Monday
afternoon. There is no entertain
ment that is more beautiful or more
enjoyed than that given by the chff-
! dren, and the Physical exhibition
given by the children of the North
Grammar school was no exception.
Admitting parents and friends ap-
! plauded and each number had some
feature of special interest. The lit
tie tots of Grade l did very we'll as
they initiated with their hands the
shoemaker at his work in the Shoe
makers Dance. The Relay showed
real ambition and competition as the
| girls of Grade w tried to win out.
The old time Virginia Reel was q
veritable dancing on the green as the
boys and girls of Grade VIII went
through the graceful steps and mo-
tons.
1t was better than a day at the
circus to witness the "Menagerie" by
Grade as the boys initiated the ele-
phant, monkey, camel, kangaroo,
bear. grasshopper, duck, bird, rab-
bit and rooster. The Danish Dance
of Greeting was given by Grades II
and III and was Il delight to see as
the little ones threw themselves into
the joy of the dance. The boys from
Grade VI in the Dumb Bell drill
showed what practice and concentra-
ton can do in handling dumb bells
without q break.
A second number by Grade I,
Sally Goes Round the Moon" with
the little explosive break at the end
OF each verse was Just sweet" The
girls Of Grades ii and Ill showed
grace and rhythmic expression in the
Dance of Spring. The interest and
merriment caused by the Wheelbar-
row race by the boys of Grade w
gave evidence that such a race Is
ever new.
The girls of Grade VIII in the
English Country dance showed the
American girls ability to compete
with their English cousins. Ameri-
cans always love a flag drill and the
sight of the girls of Grades Nv and
V in, the flag drill waving the Stars
and Stripes stirred the feeling of
patriotism and love OF country. Reap

boys of Grades III and Ill of a Base

ready to join the varsity teams later.
