clever entertainment was
given at the School Auditor
ium last Friday night by
Camp Fire girls under the
direction of their guardians,
Miss Alpha, Farnsworth
Miss Elizabeth Jones and
Miss Pauline Penick, each
directing different groups.
Local talent is always appre
ciated and brings out a large
audience who enjoy every
effort brought forth for their
entertainment by the young
people. That Coolidge talent
can compare favoraWy with
the best, has been demon
strated many times, and that
the training in this respect is
being conscientiously done
by the teacher along with
the other requirements is
1 very evident.,
The whole entertainment

one present and was well
patronized by the home
people..
