High School Notes.

The boys’ quartet is practicing on songs which will be given at the next literary meeting Thursday afternoon. They promise some splendid music. The color song which was a part of the literary last Thursday afternoon was so enthusiastically received by the students that it was sung twice. The program was well rendered. Several visitors were present. Thursday afternoon, April 20, at 2:45 o’clock, will be the last meeting of the literary. A centennial program will be given by the Webster Society. The program follows: Introductory Speech, “Centennial” Dwight Cumick. History of Jasper County—Charles Halleck. Home Life in the 50's—Marian Meader. Music—Boys’ Quartet. History of Indiana—Maude Elder. Hoosiers—Robert Reeve. State Song—Audience. This is expected to be an exceptionally good program.
