Tlie high bcIiooI auditorium was filled to its utmost seating capac it y Friday evening by an audience which had gathered to hear and see a program of exercises delivered by pupil of the high school. The ob- ject of the entertainment waB to provide funds for the high school athletic association, and that the audience might know the athletic propensities of the studentp, the room was decorated with loot, base and basket ball paraphaualia, tennis netting and rackets, golt sticks, with a foot ball suit as the central figure on the wall. The c.xcciscs consisted of music by an orchestra, recltationp, ongi ii a 1 sketches and drills by members of the girls' gymnasium club. IOach number on the program was well delivered or presented and each re- ceiyed merited applause from the audience. The drills of the "gym" girls being something new in local entertainments, held the interest of the audience without Hag, and the as well as their instructor, Miss Lewis, received many compli ments for their work. As a whole the entertainment proved a pleasing one and deserv ing of the large audience which at tended. A Suggestion. Tin: Tkiiiuni: trusts that the Board of Education will see its way clear at the opening of the next school year to employ a teacher of vocal music. Such an structor will be found in nearly all schools in towns ot 3,000 or over, and if it has proven a good move in those towns, it would prove equally so in North Platte. A lair know ledge of music in these days is almost a necessary accomplish ment; it gains prestige for the pos sessor, provides entertainment in the home, assists the churches by improving the quality oi .the song service, and it properly used is re fining in itsiinllucncc. If a teacher is employed it will result in the discovery ol musical talent among our boys and girls winch might not otherwise be known. These lines are written as a mere suggestion, but with the hope that the patrons will take up the matter and make a request of the board that an in structor be employed. If the pa trons make the request it is quite probable that the board can make the necessary arrangements. riftcon Cont Supper. On Saturday evening, March 29th, 1002, the V. K.
