1t is needless to say that the en-
tertainments following the meets
and arranged by Supt. Linscott are
always of a high order. Mr.. Lin
scott's reputation along these lines
is more than local, but this year the
entertainment was better than ever.
The major part of the program was
furnished by Frank Lane, who lives
up to his reputation as the worlds
most versatile entertainer. Misses
Clendenning and Collins delighted
the audience with their artistic
dancing. The evening was closed
with the usual school rally and
presentation of medals and cups by
Harry Hinckley.
