BOARDMAN
MRS. A. T. HBREIM. Correspondent.
Boardman has established the cus
tom of having excellent home talent
plBys and the one given on Friday
night by the student body of the high
school was no departure from cus
tom. "The Hand of the Law" was the
title and it was given under the able
direction of Miss LaVelle Leathers,
the popular primary teacher who also
took a leuding part in the play, and
to direct a play and take a leading
part at the same time is a most dif
ficult matter and Miss Leathers re
ceived many words of praise for the
capable manner in which she did
both. All took their parts well and
showed much ability, but Russell
Mefford and Catherine Berger who
played comedy parts kept the audience
laughing from start to finish. Helen
Chaffee made a charming "villainess."
Nellie Dillon played the part of Ezra
very cpaably. Nellie Messenger had
a minor part and one that did not do
her justice, judging by the ability
she showed in the previous play. Ray
Bp.rlow, the leading man, was splen
did, and Carl Ayres played the part
of the Squire in his usual fine man
ner. Robert Berger as the sheriff
acquitted himself very creditably but
his voice did not carry as well as it
should. Hector Wicklander took the
part of Rube Hazelton, the father,
very capably. Nellie Messenger had
ic one with a complicated plot and
the audience disgraced itself irretriev
ably in the eyes of the cast by roars
of laughter at the most dramatic and
tense moments. No disrespect was
meant but probably because "every
body knew everybody else" we laughed
at the wrong time. Anyhow it was a
splendid play and all due credit to
Miss Leathers and her fine cast.
Boardman friends were pleased to
hear from A. W. Cobb, a former resi
dent who is now in Frisco. He went
down to avoid Oregon rains and met
with floods.

Truman Messenger and wife left
Sunday for Athena where they will
live. Truman has been promoted to
the patrol of that place. ,He has

tu nor to the members of the faculty

per was enjoyed. Shamrock place

half of Miss Leathers and MiBS Sil

tion classes. Mrs. S. H. Boardman
save a witty toast to Miss Beougher
for'the sewing class. Mr. Wickland-
er's toast to Mrs. Feess, the teacher
of public speaking, was in rhyme and
worthy of reproduction:
"Here's to the Boardman teachers
Who are striving every way
To make our community better
By teaching night and day,
And now our night school is ended,
We certainly are grieved;
Here's hoping we all will remember
Everything we have received.
But, friends, I want you to remember
That I would certainly be trembling
at the knees
If it wasn't for the knowledge
I received from Mrs. Feess."

cial arithmetic class taught by Mr.
Cornwell and Mr. Berger for the writ
ing and bookkeeping classes in charge
of Misses Kankonen and Falk. Earl
Cramer was to have responded from
tho writing class but suffered an at
tack of stage fright. A rising vote
of thanks was given Mr. Kelly, the
superintendent, and Brice Dillabough,
the janitor.
The night school has been an in
spiration in every way and that the
Boardman folks appreciated the kind
ness of the teachers was evidenced by
