GRADE SCHOOL OPERETTA WAS GREAT SUCCESS The operetta “ On A Midsummer's Day" presented by the child'eu if the Tillamook grade school, iu the high school gymnasium, was a griat success. The play was the result of ;ors‘.d- erable work on the part of dircc- •tor Miss Mildred Hamilton. Every one agrees that the children did splendidly and deserv? great credit for the trial. The setting was a woodland scene where the occupants of a flower gar­ den were much neglected by their mistress, Pearl Anderson. Th? fairy queen finds them in this condition and decides to teach the child a les­ son, thereby removing the flowers to her fairy garden, where they ato taken cae of by the queen's brownies The child comes to her garden w«»erej they are taken care of by the que*n\ brownies.
