partment.
An interesting feature will be the
exhibition in the afternoon of class
es in physical training. which Is
branch Of work required by law at
present. Music for this will be fur-
nished by the schools. An added
attraction will be the play to be Civ
en- in the evening by the senior class

fun of sea voyage without the sea-
sickness.

His eyes We're red as rubies and his

Good luck" he whispered, as he
turned the magic boat about and dis
appeared under the castle walls.

didn't have long to wonder. for, just
then the lovely Princess Sue opened a
door and walked sorrowfully out up
on the marble walk.

the bunny boy softly. At the sound
of his voice. the sorrowful princess

Washington Birthday Entertainment
at Grammar school

An audience of over 2OU parents
and citizens filled the assembly room
of the Spring Street Grammar
school on Thursday afternoon, Feb.
n. The last school session before
Washington's birthday was taken up
with an entertainment consisting OF
numbers chosen from the daily work
in music done in this building. Four
selections by the Grammar School
orchestra, under the direction of
Mrs. Mary c. Smart. made up the
first part of the program, and SHOW
ed remarkable progress since last
September, as the members We're
almost entirely beginners at that
time. These players are Anthony

Strout, Earl Gordon, Bernard Mo
rancy, Horace Field, Roland Hall,
Claire Wilkins and Rose Ganeau.

consisting of a traveloSue emitted
"a Trip to Melody Land" was in
the nature of an operetta, in varied
costumes. The songs. chosen from
among those used this term by Mrs.
Smart for regular class work, were
much enjoyed by the audience anu
reflected much credit upon both IN
structor and pupils. The regular
class room teachers also contributed
much toward the work o. costum-
ing and drill as well rs general ar
rargements. A cornet solo by An
thony Provost, violin solo by Rose
Gareau. and a violin, cello and pi-
ano trio by Robert and Charlotte
Elliott and Lyndon Shields. were
remarkably welt rendered for young
people of their years.
The Commercial department or
the n. II. Fay High school has for
some months been attending to fur
nishing student StenographerS and
typists to local firms and business
men for work outside of school
hours. This plan increases the con-
fidence of the pupils by giving them
experience in actual working condi-
tons, and much praise on the quail
itv of their work has been received
from the employers. Merely nom
inal pay, or none at all, is accepted,
as that is only small part OF the
object of the pan.
The annual observance of Wash
ington's birthday by the Dexter Club
took place in the club rooms Fri
day evening and was much enjoyed
by the members and invited guests.
The dance hail was pr2ttily decorat-
cd and music was furnished by Pull

of Frank II. Haines Herbert NJ.
