THE LYCEUM COURSE The Senior class presented to the public, during the winter term of 1924-’25, a Dennis Lyceum program, consisting of four numbers. The profits realized from the course, were used in the making of the school annual. The first number, the Delaware Duo, was presented on Oct. 7, in the High School auditorium. The two young ladies presented an interesting program consisting of both vocal and instrumental music, and readings. Costumes were used to a great advantage. The second number of the course, the Ambassador Quartet, was given Nov. 22. The quartet proved to be quite a success. They entertained a large appreciative audience with music, both popular and classical. The third number, the Old Kentucky Jubilee Quartet, was presented on Dec. 13.
