The Carnival a Big Success.

The third annual carnival given by
the Dolores schools at the high school
building Friday evening was a success
in every particular. Shortly after
eight o'clock the school building was
well filled with jolly. good-natured
plentiful and it was dangerous to open
you mouth.
The program was carried out about
as advertised from the Cliff dwellers to
the Eats" stand in the basement.
The Cliff Dweller and fortune teller
occupied a room at which you went in
at one door and came out at the other.
Dots entertaining afforded lot of
fun to those that visited her room.
Jock and Jerry performed in the same
room and acted very much like humans.
The radio fans realized that they
were attending carnival. However,
the wild man and animal show had
real kick and attracted large crowds.
Nancy, the Siberian ostrich, and
Katherine, the Arkansas giraffe, were
very well behaved and performed their
parts we'll. The wild man from Borneo
had those you generally see in the
large circuses beat mile. The
Siamese twins, the snake charmer and
Tom Thumb were all on exhibition and
performed their parts well.
The incubator baby was q pretty
little fellow and seemed to be doing
very nicely under artificial treatment.
The latest fox trot and illustrated
music room had big run and the
performers were kept busy until late
in the evening. The moving picture
show, featuring the Cannibal Islanders
at home, was thoroughly enjoyed by
all who visited the room.
The ride in the aeroplane that took
you up into the clouds was indeed
thrilling.
There were number of stunts in the
chemical laboratory in the basement.
1t was here that the famous telescope
through which you looked to see the
lady in the moon was located. Albert
Miller says that he does not think that
the lady in the moon is very polite.
Everything that was on sale, from
the confetti to the hamburgers was all
gone long before the crowd was through
spending money. The gross receipts
were in the neighborhood of $4,000.
While this carnival afforded the
patrons of the school and all who at
tended it an evening of clean amuse-
ment and good time. it did much
more. To the stranger and those not
acquainted with our schools it showed
the perfect cooperation of the teachers
and pupils throughout the entire
school. There was an immense amount
of work connected with the getting up
of this carnival most of which was done
after school hours and all without in
terfering with the regular school work.
This work could not be done by one or
few, it took large company, and the
manner in which all the stunts were
performed and the perfect system
used in handling the crowd showed
that everyone had been willing to do
their part. The success of any school
is largely due to the cooperation of
teachers and pupils.
The Managers of the carnival were
too busy Friday to have street parade
