Dutch boys and wooden shoes cut

Besides their Holland decorations
they also have many decorative

LET THE PEOPLE SING
Nv i. b. Priestly

Mr.. Priestley, that exuberant tell
err Of tales, is back and with none
Of his magic dimmed. In novel
of today that Is gay, romantic, ten
der, laugh provoking, wise and
nonsensical by turns, he has not
only written the perfect antidote
for the present tension between ma
tons but also a story Of very real
significance.
It all began when Jimmy liver
ton, a famous variety clown, found
himself in Dorchester without a job
and forgotten. One thing led to
another-such as the bombing OF
the statue in the park, the discov.
cry Of Czech professor in the
luggage van, and the wholly de
lightful musical evening with Sir
George Denberry-Baxter in his
cups.
This, however, was only the be-
ginning. Chance and Sir George
in a fit Of angry sobriety threw
Jimmy and the professor upon the
mercies of a travelling auctioneer
one Mr.. Hassock, and his charming
niece. Together the lot of them
made the town of Dunbury lose its
temper over the disposition of the
old Market Hall. "Let the people
sing!" they cried, and rallied the
townspeople to assert their free
rights against the business mag.

George gloriously ripe on her best
liquor, they might for all we know
still be without their legitimate
rights and in a rebellious frame OF
mind.
There could be no more hopeful
commentary on the human spirit
than this delightful comedy-drama,
which was born thumbing It's nose
at a gloomy and cynical world.
SCATTERING OF IGNORANCE

colleague, the distinguished liter
airy editor Of the NEW YORKER,
Mr.. Clifton Fadiman. Says Mr.
Fadiman in his feature review: "As

is only incidentally about music
even q musical analphabetic like
myself may dare to comment on II
without too much fear Of self-ex-
posture. When it does touch upon
music per Sc, the result is perfect
ly understandable and hugely de-
lightful to the layman - which
means, I suppose, that its defic-
lent in critical significance. But,
for the most part, this is a book
of comic myths in which most of
the leading characters happen to
be musicians -.
"a Smattering of Ignorance" con-
sists Of six brash monologues,
laughably disguised as essays. They
deal with the qualities and vanities
of some Of the great contemporary
conductors of the life, opinions and
silences Of Harpo Marx; the pecu-
liar methods and even more pecu-
liar people which and who produce
moving-picture music; the career
and character of George Gershwin
but really the whole book, with
out trying, turns out to be a col
lection of Oscariana-some Of his
own best lines particularly the most
self-deprecatory, are included"
"A Smattering Of Ignorance" Is
not music a la meringue, but a
sound, authoritative picture Of mus
ical America, told with Mr.. LIE
wants well-known racy vigor. A
brilliant and impeccable pianist
Mr.. Levant combines profound
musical knowledge with the sharp

THIS N THAT ABOUT SIR. Hi.
The weather being terrible Thurs
day did not keep the approximate
two hundred people from coming
to the dedication of our school that
evening. Besides the several speak
ers that took part in the program,
the orchestra and mixed chorus
made it complete. To close the
program Miss Ranstad sang very
beautifully, God Bless America"
Friday morning the entire stu
dent body was surprised by musi-
cal program by Mr.. Kohl. We
really showed him how much we
appreciated his playing by clapping
him to come back everytime he left
the stage.
The Sank Centre armchair aud
fence of the state championship
basketball game really enjoyed the
game more Saturday evening than
did our basketball boys. Did you
know that they drove all the way
down to witness the game, and then
they were unable to obtain seats in
the auditorium because Of the enor-
nous crowd?
Monday afternoon we were pre-
scented with a program on Indians
by Mr.. Williams. We were told
that he knew more about the In
dams than probably any other
white man living. He proved this
statement by giving us an interest
ing lecture and showing us colored
slides Of native Indians.
The time Of year has come again
when the Seniors have try outs

Wilson, Senior English teacher.
SENIOR HIGH CLASSES
Hello, folks! Here comes the
news again.
Miss Swanson's Junior English
students inform me that they are
greatly enjoying their present unit
of work, which is public speaking.
Their daily assignments consist of
two and three minute oral talks.
Many students are gradually over
coming their SHY natures which
is one objective of public speaking.
The Sophomore English classes
are now reading poems. They are
very much interested in this type
of work. They have also handed in
their original one act plays.
Miss Ranstad's World History
classes are now in the midst of
studying How the French Revolu-
ton and Napoleon changed Europe
and the World" It also contains
information on the continental sys-
tenn and Napoleon exiled from
France.
The American History students
saw an interesting movie on the
Construction Of Dams. They are
also working on McKinley's admin
istration.
The Biology Students are deeply
immersed in the study Of the Cir
culatory System.
The Chemistry students are
studying the unit on nitrogen. They
are conducting experiments on how
to make nitric acid, but judging
by the terrific odors which find
their way out of the lab, you would
think they were inventing a new
kind Of gas bomb.
The advanced Algebra class Is
busily working on graphs.

GAYLORD WARS
ON PEDDLERS

Gaylord - The Gaylord Com

peddlers and hawkers who cam
vass the town without first OBJ
tanning a license from the village
clerk. .-. I
Complaints regarding the ped
ding nuisance have come to the
attention of the club from both
housewives and business places.
To remedy the situation, it was
decided to acquaint the public
with village ordinances which
provide for licenses of SIS for the
first day, $40 for the second day,
not to exceed $50 per week.
The club urged that all viola
tions be reported to authorities,
who have agreed to cooperate to
the fullest extent. In the mean
time, the Green River ordinance,
also is being considered.
