On ldSI WGuICSuclJ SNSAAAAAS
of the largest crowds that ever at
tended a high school play at Mills
boro witnessed the presentation OF
High Flyers" by the present SEN
ior class of MillsborO high. All who
saw the play were prOfuse in their
praise of it's presentation. Not only
did the players render their respec-
tive parts well, but were so well Sc
lected that they fitted right in to
what they were assigned to depict.
The play was directed by MISS
Ann Thompson, teacher in the To-
cal high school. Miss Thompson is
a graduate of the University of Del
aware and has taken special train
ing in dramatics. She is well quail
fed. therefore, to do this kind OF
work. Both Miss Thompson and the

time allotted them for getting up the
play, and they as well as the entire
school feel grateful for the support
received from the community.

Prof. John Shilling, assistant su-
perintendent in charge of high
schools, visited the Millsboro high
last Friday. 1t is understood that
he was highly pleased with the way
the school is progressing, and that
he expressed himself as having OBJ
served some of the best teaching he
had seen anywhere in the state. A
statement like this, coming from
man who is an authority on class
room procedure and who is not CIV
en- to using superlatives, is quite
compliment.
At the instigation of Mrs. Olive
Wilson, a civil club has been organ

deavor.
Rev. Sheese, of Frankford, sub
stituted for Miss Thompson Friday.
Almost every week some teacher
is sent by her supervisor to visit
and observe the Millsboro element
ary teachers. If the teachers atti-
tude is right, much good should
come from these professional visits.
