In conjunction with the fair a play
was given by the high school pupils,
under the direction Of Miss Freil,
which was attended by over two hum
dred interested and highly enthusiast
tic parents and patrons of the school.
There was also a fortune telling booth
and refreshment stand.
The cost of putting on the fair was
nearly $25 which was about cleared
from the articles sold by the pupils.
The success of the fair is worthy Of
comment and the wide-awake and I'M
ceasing labors of the instructors in the
departments under which it was held
made it possible. The principal of the
school, Prof. Ford, gave it his hearty
support, lGd the pupils co-operated in
most enthusiastic manner.
