The supper and play given by the high school last Friday afternoon and evening proved to be a great success. The proceed from the supper covered the expenses incurred in giving the entertainment, and therefore the box office receipts were clear profits for the high school.

The play, “The Deestrict Skule,” under the direction of Miss Bowen, did much credit to both teacher and pupils, considering the short time which had been devoted to the preparation of the different parts. The costumes were especially good, and the “make ups” clever, which showed an interest and taste on the part of the various characters.

The entertainment afforded by the play was greatly supplemented by by the creditable work of the high school orchestra, which is a good demonstrator of the old maxim, “Practice makes perfect.”

The proceeds from the supper and entertainment, amounting to about thirty dollars, will go toward offsetting the various high school expenses.
