On October 80. 1881. at s o'clock
a very interesting and enjoyabl,
Halloween entrtainmnt was pre-
sented by the pupils of the Frederic;
school.
/ The seventh and eighth grades
combined in the production of theii
play, called "The Magic Mirror"
The scene opened with the two
sisters, Edith and Edna, talking to-
gether Miriam Counselman took
the part of Edith, and Marie Wilson
the part of sister Edna. While en-
gagged in conversation Edna receives
a letter from her friend Bob, at col
lege, who suggests to her several
stunts to be presented through a
magic mirror at her Halloween
party.
Through her mysterious globe
Edith, impersonating a witch, causes
to be presented numerous tableaus.
The first of these showed another
witch, the part taken by Miriam
Counselman, who appeared i'll the
magic mirror dancing grotesquely
with her broom.
The next reflection in the mirror
was "The Girl with Mirror" Pearl
Clendaniel, the girl, looking earn
estly in the mirror, could see only
the man in the moon.
Following this scene we saw four
children bObbing for apples. They
were Jim Webb, Frank Mick, Mary
Slaughter, and Edith Fisher. The
one who captured the most apples
was Mary Slaughter.

looking intently at the gravestOnes
which were realistically copied. She
asked the sexton when he spoke of
bones and dust, "Will l look thus
when | am dead?" and was answered
by a loud and weird, 'Yes!" Will
nina Thomas made very good old
woman with her shabby shawl and
long black dress.
Following this tableu we saw two
funny Jack-o' Lantern boys with
for their heads. The jolly
boys, portrayed by Lillias Moore and
1ilda Moore, marched in a way to
make us all laugh.
The performance closed with the
of the two sisters,
edith and Edna. Edith emphatical-
