The speaker in his clear, logical way outlines the mission of education and the schools in the advancement of that which is best in the world’s work. JUNIOR CLASS PLAY— The Junior Class Play was held in the Lyric Theatre on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, June 12 and 13.

We are certainly glad that the weeks of study and effort which these young people spent in preparation, were crowded with such a high degree of success. The Curbstone Quartette furnished excellent music.
