Statement of The Dickens Entertainment.

The Dickens’ Entertainment was in every particular, a grand success. Financially it exceeded the expectations of all concerned: the patronage was most liberal; and the the assistance rendered by the good ladies et the community is most praiseworthy, We shall ever feel grateful to those who so kindly and liberally donated the provisions for the supper, and so liberal was these donations that sufficient provisions was left after the supper to give a dinner and a supper the following day. The citizens, too were liberal in their patronization and spending money. In behalf of the High School I wish to extend to all that assisted in any way whatsoever our sincere thanks; and to the ladies who so nobly worked for our success, the High School is under many lasting obligations.
