Those who did not attend the school
entertainment last Thursday evening
missed a rare treat. The first half
of the evening was devoted to a fairy
cantata under the direction of Miss
Powers. Elaine Sigsbee and Hugh
Currin, after reading a fairy tale, are
so enthused with fairy lore, that they
obtain their mother's permission to go
into the woods and search for real
faries. After a short time they be
come weary; Lawrence Slocum, the
sandman, rubs their eyes, and they
fall asleep.
On awakening they are much sur
prised to find themselves surrounded
by a band of faries, who present then
to the King, Johnie Turner, and. th.:
Queen, Delma Driskell. The King
requests his pajro, Clarence Gordon,
to summon the Elves, that they may
give an account of their work. Clif
ford Driscoll, Donald Bawker, Victor
Groshen, Virgil Stephens, James
Hayes, Frank Elder, Issac Dexter,
Derwood Tash, Alton Osmin and By
ron Johnson are brought before the
king and queen. The children are
astonished to find that the Elves are
never idle. Hugh and Elaine say
goodby. The Queen calls them back,
and requests her ten faries, Francis
King, Kathryn Brock, Annie French,
Christeen Bray, Howard Humphreys,
Clyde Gillespie, Arthur Gillespie,
Francis Gentry, Stanley Williams
and William Driscoll to each in turn
present them witn a gift. Keen
touch, sight to behold beauty; joy in
drinking fresh water, etc., are the
gifts bestowed. Francis Watkins,
Herald; Alice Kirk and Teresa Blahm,
"The Ladies in Waiting." Three
flowers bloom in Fairyland: The
rose, Margueritte Hisler; The lily,
Mary Patterson and the forget-me-not,
Mary Crawford. "So prettily,
go meekly do they bloom; 'tis plain to
see, they were not born to blush un
seen, and waste their sweetness on
the Desert Air."
Miss Ames' pupils dramatized
"Hansel and Gretel," from Grimm's
Fairy Tales. Paul Aiken as Hansel,
and Ethel Mikesell as Gretel, were the
children of a poor woodchopper, Wil
lie LeTrace. Having displeased their
stepmother, Willetta Barratt, she
sent them into the woods to gather
berries. Meeting Gladys Brown, the
dandlclion maided, they played 'till it
was too late to return home. Falling
asleep in the woods, Horace Wells, the
Dustman, and his six Angels, Hazel
Cantwell, llernico Sigsbee, Myra
Wells, Ruth Tash, Francis Parker and
Rachel Soherzingcr sang to the little
ones while they slept.
The spooky Boolaboola men, Lavell
Lucas, Ester Neel, Mary Van Vnctor,
Bornice Woodson, Alice Sargent,
Horace Wells, Harold Case, and
Gladys Brown danced through the
night the weird fantastic "Brownie
Folka," the "Highland Fling," and "0
du Liebcr Augustine."
Going in tho morning to the house
of Margaret Woodson, the witch, they
were enticed in. Hansel was seized
and put in a cage. Gretel being re
quested by the witch to try tho oven,
pretended ignorance and seizing the
wand set Hansel free. While showing
the children how the oven opened,
the witch was pushed in, where she
became a gingerbread cake.
Miss Wallen acted as accompanist
in both plays. Teachers and pupils
alike are deserving of much credit
for the fino manner in which the var
ious parts were executed.

her husband in from Butter Creek
