In order to be legally entitled to send their children to the
city schools m the future and to share in the benefits of the new
buildng program. It will be necessary for a majority of the citi
zens of the new territory to cast their votes in favor of being
taken into the city school district at the election which will be
held tor this special purpose on May 26.
Failure on the part of a majority of the citizens of the new
teiiitoiy to cast their votes in favor of the proposition would
niean thac m the future the lines of the city school district would

zens would by their own votes be placed in the unfortunate posi-
tion of being in the city in everything except schools. They would
be sub.iect to all city taxes except city school taxes, and would be'
entitled to all city benefits except city school benefits.
Such a contingency is not likely' to happen. It will not hap
pen unless these citizens fail to learn the facts or refuse to be
lieve them.
Amidst the pleasant scenes set on
the stage in the high school audi
torium, the three one-act plays, un
der the able direction of Miss Baker
were presented by the senior class
last Tuesday night. From the ap
plause of the large crowd it was
evident that the audience enjoyed
the variety of plays. The house was
packed.
The first play was a comedy, “In
the Spring.” Saunders Dallas played
^e leading role and appeared as
Dicky Trent. He made love to all
the five little J’s,” and even pro-
Msed to the chaperon, Mrs. Jack
