Exhibition Day at Pleasant Val
ley Hall

A very enjoyable day was spent
last Thursday at Pleasant Valley
Grange Hall by the patrons and chill
dren of Bernard, Pleasant Valley and
Lynndale schools in their first annual
exhibition.
During the morning there was an
indoor contest in recitations, silent
and oral reading and surprises. Pleas
ant Valley came out ahead by score
of 9 to 6, which was a tie between the
two other schools. Then came the
good part-a big basket dinner with
all the good eats the individual could
wish for. ..-... ....
After the dinner the grove was Wis
tied where the outdoor events took
place. These were very exciting, es-
peciall in the dodge ball games and
relays. The final score resulted in a
tie of 9 between Pleasant Valley and
Bernard, while Lynndale came out
second.
Last but not least, the judges, Miss
Henion, Miss Bersch and Miss Stew
art, who had been busy judging the
exhibits of the school subjects, were
ready to give their reports. Lynndale
won, its score being 10, while Bernard
was second with score of II. The
grand total gave Lynndale first place
for the day; Bernard, second, and
Pleasant Valley third. C. F.

CLASS NIGHT EXERCISES
Of Oakland High School Held
Friday Night in the Mary
land Theatre

The class night exercises of the
Oakland High School, held in the
Maryland Theatre on the evening of
June 18th were of exceptional inter-
est.
The program for the exercises, un-
der the direction of Miss Ruth Conley
and Mrs. Byron Besse, was as fol-
lows:
Prophecy. 49,. Minnie Paugh, Vera
Ream, Virginia Casteel
Class Will. ...... Elizabeth Buzzerd
GlftS ................ John HelblG
Glass Song ...............S Seniors
The three witches of Macbeth
prophesied the future of each member
of the class. They made wierd pic
ture around the wood fire and steam
ing caldron.
The most interesting feature of the
evening was the Senior Glass play,
entitled, "The Conjurer," presented
under the direction of Miss Katharine
T. Conley. This play showed unusual
ability upon the part of all concerned.
Mr.. Graydon Lewis, as Inspector
Malcolm Steele, proved himself a very
clever detective. His part was exceed
ingly difficult, but he played it well.
Mr.. Walton King, as the Conjurer,
Mr.. George Clifford, was the hero of
the story. Mr.. King shows promise
of becoming a great actor some day.
Mr.. Joseph Stanton, as Colonel Will
lard Anderson, was a worthy host in
every way. His acting deserves spe-
cial mention.
Walter Nine, as Lieutenant War
wick; Cartwright May, as Captain
Gleason; Russell Brown, as Driscoll
Wells, all kept the audience guessing
as to who really was the thief. They
were able and snappy all through the
play.
Niles Falkenstine, as Detective
White, through an unique invention,
helped his master, Inspector Steele,
discover the true thief.
And the thief was no less than DR..
Gordon Peak himself whose role was
cleverly played by Mr.. James Will
son, Jr.
The leading ladies in the play were
Miss Margaret Friend, as Dorothy
Elmstrom, and Miss Mary Ours, as
Marion Anderson. Both received much
praise for their skillful interpreta-
ton of their parts.
Miss Helen Jones, as Miss Ellen
Gleason, and Miss Kathleen Lawton,
as Miss Edith Anderson, were decid-
edly successful in helping to hold the
audience in suspense throughout the
entire production.
The Seniors deserve special praise
for their very fine class night enter
tainment. Talent was combined with
hard work in every detail.
On Friday night, June 10Th, at 500
o'clock the class of thirty-six men,
bers will receive their diplomas and

Secretary, Laying Competitions

l|S~@ A41-S NOhAE'Ss-sAN6
Beginning the fifteenth consecutive
annual egg laying competition, one hun
dred pens of five birds each were ready,
on November 1st, to make new poultry
history. This competition is under the
supervision of and is staged on grounds
of the Delaware State Board of Agri-
culture at Milford, Del.
Entries were received from thirteen
States, England and Canada and six
teen varieties of fowl are represented.
At the end of the week, which closed
at sundown Saturday night, November
Z, seventy-three of the one hundred pens
had produced eggs, the total yield total
ing 6S1 eggs.
Highest score made by any pen was
% eggs; this score was registered by
pen No. SS, and lowest score was regis
tered by several pens with one egg. Six
pens produced 20 or more, and eleven
pens scored 10 or better. One bird,
No. 5 in pen No. 20, made a perfect
score of an egg a day.
Compared with last year the total
output for the first week this year was
142 eggs less; this total was also lower
by 81 eggs than the thirteenth year
If the lower total means finish, equal
ing the thirteenth year then the final
total for the fifteenth year will exceed
the fourteenth year.
Superintendent Frank Vadakin, re-
ports that the specifically apparent
quality of the birds entered is better
than in any competition he has handled
in past years Mr. Vadakin's judgment
in this matter is of the highest value
he is on the ground constantly and con-
| tinuOusly and, with his assistant, Mr..
Austin, he is able to decide within rea-
sOnable limits the prospects of every
individual entered. Coupled with years
of experience both Mr.. Vadakin and
Mr.. Austin make frequenC examinations
of the entire flock, both for ability and
condition; the weekly characteristic
table is the result of personal physical
examination of the members of several
pens each week and the findings of
these examinations are placed in COM
parisOn with final scores and stamina.
iLivability of the birds is checked against
physical condition in so far as super
ficially any arrangement is apparent
constitutional ailments cannot be de-
tected in the early life of the birds nor
can violent death be fOreguessed.
Experience teaches in no uncertain
manner the ability of a bird to lay,
when ancestry is coupled with externally
apparent qualifications.
