an improvement in the char
acter and lumber of exhibits,
as we'll as in the attendance of
the friends and patrons of the
school. This years exhibit
will be different than those of
previous years.
Programs by several depart
ments of the High and Elemen-
Itary school will be part of our
exhibit this year. The Home
Economics Department will
present a fashion show in con-
nection with the Music Depart
ment. The Elementary school
will also present a program.
