(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.
