ee or COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER FOR CROOK COUNTY Crook CITY .OFFICIAL PAPER FOR CITY OF PRINEVILLE VOL. XIX, PRINEVILLE, CROOK COUNTY, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 20, 1915. NO. 26 Goiiraty Jotaroal OPEN HOUSE AT PUBLICSCHOOL All of the Grades Have a , Fine Display of Work All High Quality Work Hundreds of Article Made by the Little Folks' Show Good Work Done Friituy was public school day in Prineville, It was a red letter day for tho little folks, for they were on review before the community, and work that has taken the entire school year to prepare for by small hands that ure being trained to do bigger things was on display for all who were interested in tlio progress of the little fellows. The visitors in the forenoon were but few because fo the rain, but the program given after dinner brought out a good crowd who stayed to inspect the exhibits which were on display in each room. The exhibits were best reviewed by commencing at the work of the first grade "B" class and continuing through to the upin-r grades in order. The firt room which is in charge of Mrs. K. E. Gray had a show of the work done by little fel lows in their first year in school and some of them less than six months. If it were up to the JournaPman to say which room shows the best results, which we are very glad to say it is not, our decision would probably fall to the first grade, for the results were of the same high order that prevailed through the grades that the work of teaching discipline and getting the child started right falls to this grnde, the results shown were surely all that is possible for any teacher to show. The work of this grade as well as the others of the primary grades in cluded a wide variety of interesting subjects. Taper folding, drawing, rani sewing, clay working, basket weaving, checker boards, and like work, in all of which the proper blending of colors is taught the child, are inclded. In the second grade which is in charge of Mrs. Wigle, the pupils are greatly interested in various nature study subjects in addition to the other work. The "Okalee" bird club has been formed by the pupils in this room. They get their nnme from the note of the red winged black bird which is the "official" bird of the society. They are mak ing a study of the lives , and habits of the birds, migration etc. They are a branch of the Oregon Audu bon Society and are the third largest branch in tho state. The third grade in charge of Miss Jane Allen showed a marked ad vance over the second of course, Their cut out paper work and clay working was original and good, and paper folding subjects were cleverly executed. Miss Myrtle Jeffries of the fourth grade gives the girls of her grade and the two rooms above, instruction in sewing, and tho results are of the highest order. The penmanship in this room was extra good, and map work and other like exhibits were of a high class. Tho fifth grade with Miss Ruth Hawley in charge had a complete display of, work covering a broad rango of subjects. The original de signs done in water colors were especially attractive, and map work was very good. Manual traning is ilone in this room, tho pupils of Continued on Page 8. HIGH SCHOOL NEWS A pleasant time which was en joyed by tho Seniors was a party held at the home of Mabel and Mildred Slayton last Friday evening after school.

Children Are Well Trained The assembly room of the Princ ville Public School could not seat the large attendance of parents and others who turned out last Friday afternoon to witness the exercises of the first and third grades. The little people showed excellent training and rendered a most extra ordinary program. Every number from the flower play to the beauti ful moth drill went like clockwork. It could not be beaten anywhere by children of the same age. Mrs. Gray and Miss Allen received many flattering compliments on the good showing made by their little ones.' J. R. Brcese was in the city Saturday. Graduation Exer cises of C. CHS. The Crook County High School will graduate a class of ninleen this year.

Jail Monday Night mained in their bunks when in formed that the door was open. Three of them, Moxley, O'Kelly and Stark, left but toward morning, the two latter returned, with a pro nounced case of "cold feet." Moxley took a quantity of provis ions from the kitchen which is main tained in the jail, and made a clean get-away. It is thought that he went to the mountains and the fact that he took provisions would indi cate that he is prepared to make a determined effort to maintain his liberty. Every effort is being made to capture him. The prisoners will be locked in the cells at night in the future. Greene in New York Telegram. NEW C. E.

HIGH SCHOOL DAYWEDNESD'Y An Annual Event Rapidly Growing in Importance Speaking in Forenoon Parade in the Afternoon Fol- , lowed by Sports and a Fast Ball Game Next Wednesday, May 26, is Crook County High School day'. This is a day which is given over by the school to the demonstration ofHbe school spirit, and in various ways iS-made a day which is becom ing more important each year. If Prineville is anything, it is a school town, and the C. C. H. S. is an institution that stands at the top of its class in the state, which means that it is not excelled anywhere. There will be a program, a parade that will equal the circus day parades we read about, and other things worth while. The program for the day, is as follows: At the assembly room, main building, High School, 10:30 A. M. Orchestra, Selection; State ment of the Object, H. C. Baugh man; Chorus, "Faust" Student Eoo'y Talk, Fred Rice; Girls Glee Club, "Out in The Fields with God"; Ad dress, W. F. King; Vocal Solo, Miss Conway; Song, Audience. The parade will start at 1 :30 and will proceed in the following order: Marshal, American Flag, Band, Speakers, Board of Education Alumni, Seniors, Juniors, Sophmorcs Freshmen, Faculty, Prineville, Other Towns, Public School, Annex, Com mercial Club and Miscellaneous numbers. Following the parade there will be sports including a bag rush, obstacle race and ball game. Remember, this is not a Prine ville function "alone, it is for the other towns of the county and the surrounding country, and all who can be present will consider the time well spent. Northern Lights . Drew a Big Crowd The play "Northern Lights," which was given by the Commercial Club Friday night was, as the man agment had promised, something worth while. The scene was that of the early days in the west, portraying the life on the" frontier in Uncle Sam's army posts and is taken from' the ' historic event3 grouped about the Big Horn Basin, the scene of Custer's Massacre. The heavy character in the drama was taken by Douglas Lawson and well played. Miss Williams and Miss Sykes, divided the honors as star characters while Dolly Hodges as the little major or "College Widow" in the fort, did extremely well. H. A. Kelly, and Miss Agnes Elliott play difficult Indian parts, and played them well. H. D. Peoples, T. E. J. Duffy, L. M. Bech tell, F. F. Holescher, Ernest Estes and R. R. Davis were military gentlemen who showed their ability to handle the parts well. Joe Smelzer and Delber Caples were the comic characters who had no trouble in getting the laughs from the audience. John Wheeler de livered the goods as a scout and a number of the high school boys acted as soldeirs for the various commands. The scenery is all new and is good. The Club promises some other effort of this nature in the near future.
