"TEA FOR THREE

The title proved ; be anothe. mistit for the unusual featule showed at the Liberty theatre Sat urdaV, and again tonight. It was misleading. The story proved to be anything but a tea affair, in fact it is one of the cleverest farces shown here for sometime. The story wes almost a triangle tragedy, but the handling of the subject turned it into a side-splitting play. Lew Cody and Owen Moore carried their parts perfectly and proved to be a team that can bring down the house in those roles. Its pity we cant have more of these clever plays with real wit and humor, that keep you laughing even more than the usual silly slap-stick.

Musical critics who attended the Christmas Cantata yesterday in the Community church are unan- imous in voicing the opinion that the program rendered was one of exceptional merit and credit should be extended to everyone partici- pating in it.
 Owing to the indictment weather the attendance was but fair; how ever, these were delighted with the perfectly rendered vocal numbers the readings, violin and piano selections.

OPERETTA-Bonnie Hillier

Last Thursday night Kennewick had the
pleasure of enjoying the best musical enter
talnment of the season. 1t was the operetta,
Tulip Time" give. by the high school glee
club under the direction of Miss Idol our cap
able and spirited director. The operetta was
huge success and yielded many compliments to
both the director and the cast. The principals
were ably selected as was shown by their
exceptional acting and the chorus was very
good. always being poppy and full of life.
In addition to the efficient direction of Miss
Idol, the glee club owe great many thanks
for the success of their undertaking, to other
sources. The costumes were supervised by Miss
Cogswell, the scenery was prepared by Mr.
Barbee, his assistants, Edith Stradford and
some of the girls Of the glee club, the music
was given by the town orchestra. And last,
but certainly not least. the coaching of the
principals on their lines was looked after by
Miss Bonner.
The money Melted from this entertainment
is to be placed in fund so that when they
have enough the glee club will be able to buy
small movable piano to take the place of the
cumbersome ones now used.
AS this is the sophomores' paper this week,
we are very proud to say that the four leading
characters and over half of the chorus of s'Tulip
Time" were sophies. By this you can surely
understand that the class of 80 will always
remain one of the best groups of all-around
students that good old Kennewick High will
ever send out into the world.

KENNEWICK HIGH-Frances Anderson
Undoubtedly one of our communities best
drawing cards is its high school. 1t has been
the means of keeping number of families in
the valley who otherwise would have migrated
into other parts, seeking better money-mak-
ing proposition.
There are several features which make our
high school a most desirable one to attend.
First, we are especially fortunate in having a
of education and who understand school needs.
The board has been progressive in school af-
fairs. has caused decided improvement in the
surrounding grounds. and has furnished us with
an all-star teaching force, without asking the
taxpayers for any extra mills.
Not little praise is due our splendid fac
ulty That the year has SO far been very
successful one for several individual members
of the teaching staff The coach has succeeded
in building up an athletic team which sur
masses any of the last several years. The Eng
fish supervisor staged senior play which was
followed by the late operetta directed by our
music instructor with others of the teachers as
her assistants. Everyone admits that both en-
tertainments were grand success. Lastly,
this school year has seen more students on the
honor roll than ever before. due to the earnest
efforts Of the teachers.
OF course, we have not extensively visited
other schools, but we believe that our school
PREMISES compare favorably with any other
school grounds whereabouts. This seemingly,
NAV not add to our knowledge, but the we'll
cared for grounds put us in good frame OF
mind to receive the knowledge.
With the able cooperation OF the elders of
This community. we students will continue to
hack X H.. S. and make it the best in the state
for its size.
