At Christmas time, 1925, a Pageant in which a large number of high school pupils took part, was presented. The High School operetta, The Rings in the SaWdust, was staged, April 21, 1927 and repeated May 18, 1927. This was one of the best entertainments that has ever been given. The Girls' Red Coat Band gave entertainments on various occasions. A Girls' Chorus was always available when there was a need for one. A High School String Ensemble was organized early in the year 1926- 1927 under the leadership of Miss Elma Benfer. The first appearance was at the Y. M. C. A. at the Christmas entertainment.

They took advantage of his hospitality and he was too tender- hearted to turn them out of his home, although there was one he would like to have been rid of. Many amusing incidents developed around these Cousins, and there was a delightful touch of romance throughout the play which added to its color and magnetism.
