training and culture. The honors of the class were quite evenly divided as each one on the program seemed competent of fulfilling her part. Misses Electa and Nellie Sylvester rendered a couple of duets on the piano which were heartily applauded by the audience as was the violin duets by Misses Burchard & Purvis. The children's drill was one feature on the program which created loud and continuous encore and especially good was the "Swanee River" pantomime. The tableaux were of the best that ever have been produced on the Plainview Stage. The class which has been in training under supervision of Miss Sylvester for a couple of months, are entitled to a great deal of credit for their accomplishments and Miss Sylvester is to be congratulated upon her complete success.
