Attorneys in the ease have been assigned and a jury composed of ladies has been selected. The occa sion promises to furnish the specta tors much amusement. A Good Word For Danbury People When William, the eonquerer, wanted to change the Feudal system i>f England so that every man would promise to "go the same way," lie mlled together all the people and made them co-operatively swear al legiance. When the people of Danbury all came together on a proposition, just Mich co-operation came about —not by the compulsion of a big boss like Wil liam. but voluntarily, simply because each wanted to make "Plays and (tames" night, Aug. 22, a good night for all. In the first place there were no lights. The people quickly contributed enough to buy wire. Messrs. Roy an 1 Japeth Leake furnished bulbs, Mr. l'epper furnished current, Messrs. William Joyce, C. 1.. Weathers. T. D. Martin and others installed over head and foot-lights, so that when the performers arrived they found i.lie of the most ideally lighted and beautiful stages that they had ever beheld. This was just one point as tn what co-operative, genteel Chris tian, civilized, cultured people can and did k>. Next, the performers needed a bas ket-ball to execute one number on the program. Mr:*Fagg loaned his car and chauffeur to go to Meadows ami l»orrow the ball which those good people so graciously loaned for the occasion. A musician was needed. Miss Mary Taylor, one of the most gifted young women of our acquaintance, very kindly pave of her time and tulent and helped whenever needed. Advertisement was necessary, and the Reporter and Mr. Booth pre sented the entire program in the pa per. Some performers were needed from the town to make the evening more entertaining. In a most beau tiful manner the residents of Dan lniry responded to the delight of the audience. In the next place the performers v;u-i? did most cheerfully the duties ..-signed. The members of the Physical Education class were all I resent but one. Without their co operation the evening could not have been possible. One of the. very biggest component ::nd essential parts >f an entertain ment is the audience. Well, to make ;i lung story brief, they came in large ■ -milters, and it was such an appre , ;itive audience. When laughter v. .is needed they very amply ■ •niled; if shouts were necessary, the audience was ready. Such an it idieiice would have inspired dum t•,i.■ s to perform unprecedented ca , i . Then, when it was over, they , -initiated on the beauty of the girls, • ;.■ ii- rythmic grace, the melody of :in-ir voices, the enthusiasm, and the cv ideal attitude of the racers. Such j i audience is not found every v he iv. Jn a nutshell, it was one of the -t highly co-operative affairs with vhi"li we have ever been associated, huh is just one more delightful roof and fore-runner of the way tl.e nmunity will go lump-solid on tin \ .to for the bond issue for the Hit; t ONSOLIDATED lIKIM SCHOOL. NANNIE E. PMJCi. Entertaining Event Here Tuesday Night (Written for the Reporter.) A unique and very entertaining program was given on the court house lawn Tuesday evening, Aug. 22nd, by the Physical Culture Department of the Stokes Summer School. Under the able direction of Miss Nannie Pigg and due to her untiring efforts, many pretty drills, folk plays and races were staged on this occasion. "Come, Let Us Be Joyful," an English Folk Play, was one of the most beautiful features of the pro gram. This play consisted of eigh teen girls in trios with ropes of roses festooned from hand to hand. The young ladies were dressed in white and as they tripped over the lawn they made a very beautiful picture under the electric lights. The Norwegian Mountain March, a folk play handed down from the tra ditions of Norway, represented the people climbing the high mountains of Norway in a zig-zag line, by thi? graceful and rythmic swaying of their bodies in groups of three. The Vineyard Drill by ten girb represented a traditional play of France, showing the people planting grape vines, going home and picking grapes. The Children's Polka by thirty girls in fairy-like dresses, showed a nice trip light fantastic toe and clap-han 1 movement. The English Ribbon Drill was very pretty. This drill was composed of 12 girls in two parallel lines. During an intermission between (Tames, Prof. C. 1.. Weathers, director of the Summer School, gave an able discussion of the work being done in the high schools over the State, em phasizing the importance of ph> >i cal training. He concluded his re marks by making a stirring appeal to the people of Danbury and the sur rounding districts for a consolidated school. Prof. Weatherly enumerated several of the defects in the present system and pointed out the advanta ges afforded by consolidation of the schools. The Suit Case Relay Race was per haps the most comical and excited the greatest mirth in the audience. Six young ladies contested very warmly against six young men of the town. Miss Ix>ucll:\ Mill was cap tain on one side and Mr. Joe Eads on the other. At a given signal the fun began. Each person in each line had to open .1 suit case, take out an um brella, raincoat and hat and put them on. Each one ran around a cer tain goal and replaced these articles in their origin! position, going on to | the end of his line and hi? successor [following suit. The ludicrousness of I the runners as they appeared in t these coats and hats was beyond ex pression. The audience cheered [them along with shouts of laughter and applause. Sufliceth to say the ladies came out with flying colors to the humiliation of the young men. "Simon Says" is a very attractive school-room gymnastic exercise in game form. The object of the game is quick wittedness and at the same time to get the gymnastic movement. The person who stays in the game longest wins and Miss Louelia ffill won this distinction and deserves honorable mention for her |uick wit tedness. Dodge Ball was a very interesting game. Eighteen people took part in this game for fifteen minutes. Mr. Ausby Smith's side won. Many other games were played during the evening which were all greatly enjoyed. The entertainment on Tuesday evening was one of the most enjoy able affairs ever given in Danbury. KING HIGH SCHOOL. The regular fall session of King High School will open Monday.
