The parade and folk dances given by the little folks of room I were greatly enjoyed. Catherine Walsh then rendered "Helping Save With Hoover" in her usual capable manner. Angela Petesch, attired as a Red Cross maid, and Carl Weber, as a soldier boy, sang a duet, "Little Soldier and Red Cross Maid," in a very pleasing manner. The pupils of room II danced the Virginia reel, the girls be­ ing attired in Martha Washington costumes and the boys in colonial cos­ tume. Room III gave an Indian club drill, which manifested the skillful re­ sults of the year's training in physical culture. The Red Cross drill, given in costume by twelve girls of room IV, was well done and deserves much praise. The first part of the pro­ gram closed with "Two Grenadiers" sung by the high school chorus. During the intermission the high school orchestra, lead by their instruc­ tor, Miss Irene Harruff, entertained the audience with two well played selections. The play, "Somewhere In France," given by the high school students, was very well receivd. The part of Mad­ ame Grandet, a French matron, was well taken by Elfrieda Block, while George Phalin ably took the part of her husband, Pierre, a blustering Frenchman. Jean Grandet, the young French soldier, was played by Arthur* Hunter and he deserves especial mention for the earnestness in which he acted the part, as he had all the fire and dash of the young French soldier. Nanon and Lisette, the two daugh­ ters of Pierre and Madame Grandet, were played by Bernice Bonslett and Jennie Mae Cooley. Both acted the part of the French girl very well. The part of Mary Dale, the Red Cross nurse, was taken by Mary Harrison and she certainly inter­ preted the part correctly for her act­ ing was exceptionally well. Dr. Montaane, a surgeon in the French army, was played by Alfred Bonslett and he was a typical French­ man. In view of the fact that the,entire cast of characters acted their parts exceptionally well we have nothing but words of praise for every one of of them.

Cooley West McHenry, Illinois , r What the Bell System , Is Doing SPEED is the essential element of the times and the hour. " ' The telephone operator is a trained public servant. Before she is allowed to take her place at the switchboard she undergoes a systematic course of instruction, so arranged as to develop alertness of thought, concentration on the work in hand, re­ sourcefulness in emergency, and speed of action. To handle the great volume of business pass­ ing over its long distance lines alone, the Iiell System has specially trained 12,000 operators in long distance methods and practices. Upon the speed in handling messages, de­ veloped by these thousands of operators, depends the usefulness of the Bell System to the Govern­ ment and to the public. Speed, in the transmission of messages which have to do with the construction of air-craft, ships, munitions, and the like with all Government activities in fact-- will be a factor in saving human lives, since these appliances will -bring nearer the end of the war.
