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

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.'

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.

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.
