When the ball strikes the trench two of the needles fasten in the ground and the other projects from the top The ball is so colored that it is difficult to see it. and when a soldier steps on one, the needle is so sharp it goes through the sole of his shoe and in jects a poison into the foot In going over the top Keiting stepped on what be supposed was a small stone, and felt a sharp pain in his right foot-The leg soon became stiff and had to be amputated to save his life.

Spring F!ower Dance One of the prettiest events of the afternoon was the dance called "The Return of the Flowers." by the 3rd ?rade sirls. After a duet sung by Rc-bv Feulins and Hazel Johnston, dressed in white and carrvtn? baskets of flowers, the fairy. Retha Boggess. with gauze wings and a wand tipped with a star, beckoned a group of flow ers onto the trreen where they gave a very graceful little dance.

They were dress ed in somber black capes with black tails_ sticking comically out behind Their black masks were enhanced with broad bills and their "rofile was very convincing. "The "Caw-Caw" which concluded each line of their song was so lifelike that the audience applauded vigorously.

The May dance given by the 5th grade girls was well done. It was ex plained that this dance was really a culmination of the physical culture exercises which the girls had done during the year, bringing into play the same muscles that the gymnastics had used. These girls were also dressed in white with flowers. Wand Drill Very Effective The 6th grade girls in their white dresses with blue sashes dotted with daisies and blue bands in their hair, snd carrying white wands with blue ribbons, were almost perfect in their wand drill given to the music of a phondgraph operated by one of their number. They showed excellent training. The Maypole dance was the crown ing event of the afternoon. The lit tle 3rd and 4th grades in their flower costumes seemed to enjoy the weav ing of the colored streamers almost as much as did the audience and their merriment made the dance still more appealing. The program was closed with the singing of Santa Lucia bv the whole school. The whole affair was well thought out and exceptionally staged.
