I I.KLAND HIGH CLOSES
VERY SUCCESSFUL TERM
The KIk)and High School of Todd
came to a close Saturday March 28th
after olio of the most successful terms
11! its history. Because of adverse
circumstances, the program rendered
differed somewhat from the usual
commencement program. It began
with a soul touching hymn "My Redeemer"
sang by the high school.
Then of course there was music, music
so beautiful that as one person
expresjed it. "it would draw th?*
heart out ??f your body.** After t.hisj
the play "Yimmie Vonso'vs Yob" was
very successfully presented. This playis
accurately described in these words
A play fuil of mystery and thrills,
A beautiful dramatic effect was p-o
duced by the singing of "Snow Diar 'i
between the second and third actsj
while the hero and heroine stood facing
each other :;i opposite sides of
the stage Judging by the reports of
spectators the acting .Jin not appear
1 o he t hat of spectators. One middle-;
aged man wbo hail traveled much and
'.'i-ii many i?f the things of the woridj
said, "It : the best play 1 have over'
si't'ii," whih- others voiced the same]
opinion. Aii said it wa.- so splendidly j
produced thai they could not help
hilt believe it to he real .
The program was ended by sing
j ing "Good Bye" a heart touching
| song.
I wish to take the space her. to say
| a few" words about the man who has
taught his successful school and who
'has trained tho actors who produced;
t h" play spoken of. Mr. Brooks has
wo- rh 1 f long respect ind honor
of the high school pupils by r is manly
actions and disregard of seif 1
heard one of his pupils say "He is the
biggest little man 1 ever saw." 1. for
one, learned more this past year than
ever before In the same length of
' time; if the others did not it was not
the fault of their instruction, for he
is the best school teacher I hav-c wr
