Webster Society Program Was Very Entertaining.

H Society of the high ! literary program oon and a number former pupils attogram was pleast. Carl Eigelsbaoh, class, gave a short speech setting out the purposes of the society and explaining the new departures in this year’s program. He presided during the program. Principal Sharp gave a drill in parliamentaty practice, showing how motions are made, amended, reconsidered and'rescinded. The drill should prove of practical value In the years to come and it is probable that other features of- parliamentary procedure will be taken up at future literary meetings.

Piano solos were rendered in a pleating manner by Lenore Carr and Meta Oglesby. Agues Howe read an essay entitled “Our Talent,” which contained many witty references to her l schoolmates. A pan tomime was given by Maud Elder, Marguerite Babcock, lone Zimmerman, Leona Kolhoff and Marguerite Brown. It was entitled “Solving the Servant Problem,” and the various applicants for positions mimicked the actions of by pretending to sweep, dust, sew, wash clothes, etc. The work of each proved unsatisfactory and all were discharged; Not a word was spoken but the spectators could readily discern what was being enacted. -Gaylord Long displayed oratorical ability in reciting “A Message to Garcia” that needs but to be cultivated to make -him a famous orator. The girls’ quartette composed of Anna' eonord, Wilda Littlefield, Thelma Martindale and Ruth Wood sang “The Qwl and the Pussy Cat” so well that they were applauded for an encore. Impromptu criticism of the number® on the program were made by Vera Healey. A musical program is to take place Thursday afternoon, Dec. 17, both the Webster and Lincoln Societies participating and patrons of the schools and parents of the young people will find it a delightful hour's entertainment.
