The Public School Gives Entertainment I'rincvilla chimin may well bf jtouJ of her school lor they rank cond to none In the (tale their record at Haleiu will show. Hut never wa thvlr prldn mora Justi. (led than it the entertainment given at the Club Hilt last Friday evening, and thos who failed to attend missed a rare treat. A well Oiled hall greeted the happy, railing Iao ot tbe children and from first to last the different num ber! followed each other wilb sucb rapidity that one bad to ait up and keep their eye 0en to take it all In. The introductory addreia by Orville Yancey wai good, but we minted a portion of it aa the late comeri and numeroua performer bad not yet settled thmlve for the evening'! enjoyment, but after the flrt number there wai no un necessary nolne, no tedloui wait, everything moved like well oiled machinery, Keen number wai good and ihowed such earoeil ef fort that It li difficult to lingle out any particular one better than the other, but the musio deiervei special mention. One unique fea tun wai the juvenile accompany ill, Guessi O'Xeil, who presided at tbe piano throughout the even ing. We predict that tome day Prineville will be very proud of her muiical gifta. The two concert longi by the iint and aecond gradea were ex ceptionally good for lucb wue bodice. The long by twenty boyt wai in deed jolly and they lang with a right good will, "The Skater Song" by five girls nd two boy would have done credit to much older pupili and (hey responded with the round "Three Ulind Mice." "Tbe Spring Song," by leven girli waa one of the beat on the program. One leldom bean lucb sweet, itrong voice in girli 10 young. MIm Hrobst wat in especially good voice and tang in ber usual gracious manner. The number given by the "Apollo" quartett wit especially good. W hope to bear them again. The two recltationi by Ruth Yancey and Kyde Sumner were ex cellent but the one by Alma Lipp- man, In which Hex entertained tha new minliter and bii wife, con futed the audience by holding tbe mirror up to life. The dainty young miiaei In the Japanese fan drill looked and icted the part. And the Indian braves and maideni made lucb a hit with their aong and drill that they were forced to respond to an encore. The Topsy-Turvy song and drill mad ua wonder If we were not with "Alice In Wonderland" frfr their feet appeared to be where w usually see their beads yet each time they came right side up and smiling. Mis Rideoot's monologue made a pleasing change and . snowed careful preparation. The Wand Drill with lU dainty maidens marching in such perfect lime and rythm was a fitting cli max to tbe beet public school pro gram rendered in l'rineville. Tbe sum of $79.10 wss realised snd the improving of the school grounds will begin at once. Commercial Club Elects Directors The directors of the l'rineville Commercial Club Messrs. Kins. Btinson, liowman and W'ylde met Monday evening and elected A. II. Bowman, president; Frank Wylde, secretary. Attorney Itriok declined to qualify as a director, so bis place will I filled later. Tbe task before the new officials is a huge one. All books and records were burned at the Antlers' Club tire. Kven the by-laws. So it is up to the new officials to begin all over again. In addition they will have to devise way and means to pay off an indebtedness of $1700. Arbor Day at the j Crook Co.
