ing made by the students of the High
School, at their open exercises on
Thursday and. Friday evenings. To
present such an entertainment requires
a great deal of study and effort on the

the opinion that it is better to leave
this butter questicfn as it is. It is dif-

those who do not know the real cir-
cumstances but those in charge know
what is in stoplc and the requirements
for the future. As much as we dislike
