are going to wish we had stayed at

poor teachers, they have our sym
pathy —they must read and weigh
and report all our shortcomings. Next
semester will surely be different.
The long awaited preliminary or
deals are at last over and the class
teams for the cup contest are
chosen. The seniors had seven can
didates. The following are the lucky
ones:
Clifford Maddy, “Dooley on Foot
Ball.”
George Mooers, "Johna Johnson.’’
Clem Doran, The arena scene from <
“Quo Vades.”
From six juniors the following
were chosen:
Kenneth Sutherland, “Touissant
L'Overture.”
Edith Brackin, “The Minister's
Housekeeper.’’
Alton Russell, “The Belgian Situ
ation.”
The sophomores had six candidates
and their team will be:
David Brandon, “Lasca.”
Ida Matugen, A study in dialect.
Joseph Kennedy, “Lincoln.”
The freshmen had the largest num
ber of contestants from which to

choose, eleven in all. The success
ful ones are:
Caroline Fraser, “The Wee Toy
Table.”
Edna Cartier, “The Bishop’s Sin.”
Sandy Dinwiddie, “The Union Sol
diers.”
The following attendants were
chosen:
Seniors —Gladys Sisler, “The Village
Gossip.”
Juniors —Wm. Costello, “A Vision
df Wap and the Future.”
Sophomores—Clara Belle Rassmus
sen, “Minty Malvina’s Xmas.”
Freshmen —Lyman Huntley, "Loch
iel’4 Warning.”
These will be trained and take the
place of any contestant who, for any
reason, cannot appear in the finals.
The preliminaries were very satis
factcry in-as-much as the contest
ants were left to their own devices
for their training. Considering this,
the freshmen class made the best
showing. The four chosen and
Katherine Sutherland are to be
specially commended for the enthu
siasm and finished work they mani
fested. Competition was strong in
the junior and senior classes, too.
In fact in every case the alternate
was so little behind the team chos
en that selections were difficult. The
sixteen lucky ones will now be as
signed to instructors for regular
training. We are anticipating one
of the most satisfactory contests we
have had in this high school. Each
class has so much relatively strong
material that the cup belongs to no
class until it is won.
The physicial training class, under
Miss Mclntyre’s direction, had their
pictures taken for the annual last
Monday. The class and special pic
tures have turned out so well that
the patrons may expect some very
good results in the forth-coming
school publication.

The benefit recital given Tuesday
night was well attended considering
the cold weather. Those who were
present had a- rare treat and those
whp missed it have something to
regret. Miss Arthur delighted every
one in her interpretation of the var-
ious characters. The thread of the
story was never lost, and the im
personation never lapsed. The pass
ing from one character to another
was so well done that it seemed
that there must really be more
than one person on the stage. The
lot of “The Slim Princess,” is in
teresting, and the humor, captivating.
The musical numbers by Mrs.
Bergh’ were sung in her own in
imitable way. The audience was re
luctant tp let her rest even when
she had responded to one encore
for each number. The last song,
“The Message,” was especially pleas
ing. We wish here to publicly
shank both of the principals and the
accompanist. Miss Mclntyre, whose
part was no less well performed, for
their kindness in making our (bene
fit recital pleasing, as well as pro
fitable.
The basket ball game on Friday
evening was satisfactory even if
the score did not result in our favor.
The home team put up an excellent
fight in the second half and piled up
more points than their opponents.
The referee, Mr. Donavan of Hib-
THERE must be great satisfaction in entertaining
guests in a well-appointed, nicely-furnished house.
No excuses to offer, no regrets —a feeling that
everything is up to date and according to Hoyle.
