COLORED CHARAC TERS FURNISH COMEDY. Maneuvers of End Men Create Much Merriment ; Four Dark Knight s Give Harmonious Numbers. The "Tombigee Minstrells" pre sented by the Hermiston high school students and townspeople last Fri day night furnished two hours of rollicking entertainment for all those who filled the high school auditor ium. More than 32 persons took part in the presentation, including the orchestra, band, glee club, and chorus. and the Four Dark Knights quartet. The curtain rose on a stage filled with chocolate colored, smiling dark town chorus folk singing a southern medley. Music t nd comedy wore furnished throughout the program by thè end men. ladies, and chorus. Comedy was made at the expense of many local people; the doctors seemed to furnish considerable ma terial. "Rastus" Melvin Follett, one of the end men described his sweet heart to the Interlocutor, Clarence Henning, and whch he had finished it appeared that this said sweetheart (Bruce Follett attired as a girl) had been in the audience and ap peared to be coming toward the stage. Rastus was overjoyed and received her with open arms. Their maneuvers created much merriment. Other end men and women in cluded Jones Arnott, Alexander Evans, Rufus Serrell, Liza Attebury, and Mandy Shutter. Each kept the fun of the minstrel at its high pitch. During the intermission, a read ing entitled, "Nathaniel at de Foot ball Game" was given by "Liza Ann” (Mrs. W. ) Dyer, which was well- received and typical of the first im pression of a freshman at a football game. Tap dancing numbers enlivened the performance and brought down the house in applause. The artists were Mrs. Bobby Brown and Clarence E. Henning. The Four Dark Knights and min strel chorus brought the entertain ment to a close by giving several harmonious numbers. The Dark Knights consisted of Ben Gerking,1 Al Quiring, Elwin Knapp, and Mel vin Follett. Mr. Cerklng made the quartet music possible by coming to Hermiston for the performance from his home in Pendieton. Apprecia tion of his assistance was expressed by Mr. Knapp, director, at the close of the performance. Other persons were mentioned by Mr.. Knapp as having helped make the minstrel n success. 3 Somebody Is Coming 28 SUBSCRIPTION. $2.00 PER YEAR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS PRESENT ROLLICKING MINSTREL FRIDAY CHOCOLATE SAMPLE COPY CO-OP GAS MEETING ADJOURNED TO DECEMBER 30th. -— The special meeting called by the Farm Bureau Co-operative for Dec ember 13th for the purpose of amend ing the by-laws permitting the es tablishment of a gas and oil station was adjourned to Friday, December 30th, at 1:30 P. M., in the Metho dist church. Lack of sufficient mem bers present to constitute a quorum made it necessary for the president of the board of directors, P. P. Sulli van, to ask for an adjournment. The proposed amendment provides for the establishment of a gas and oil station, to be operated on a pa tronage refund basis instead of the precent cost plus two per cent sys- tem, which would be abolished. Special stress was laid by the sec retary on the importance of the meeting, and all members are urged to be present whether in good stand ing or otherwist, as each and every member should have an opportunity to join in the discussions to be held. There will be discussions for and against the patronage refund meth- d of opr ration and also concerning the two per cent, revolving fund. ALTO DRIVERS LICENSE EXAMIFATION SCHEDULE SET.
