was, of course, a blow to think of the ferocious, shaggy-maned lion, with his thunderous ro-ar, as a domestic petg but no one doubted Mr. Harwood's state- ment, as he has been an eager student of animal life for forty-four years, has made twenty-three trips into the African jungles, and has lived in Africa for eleven years. Since Mr. Harwood's visit, the Hartwell doggies have ceased to bark and wag their tails, for the boys have been advertising in the African dailies for more faithful pets. Laughter and Tears HERE is a small crop of real American fun-makers, men who can call forth oceans of wholesome, healthful laugl1te1'. Jess Pugh, the premier of them all, paid a visit to Hartwell on Tuesday, November twenty-fifth. Mr. Pugh's short sketch of how a public speaker should act kept the audience in a continual gale of laughter. Then swiftly changing from the hilarious to the serious, the entertainer portrayed the pathetic artist of Rud- yard Kipling,s The Light That Failed? Mr. Pugh displayed a rare genius fo-r changing tea1's of mirth to tears of pathos. That is why it was a genuine pleasure to hear a man like Jess Pugh, The Gentleman from Indiana. Robin Hood Arrives HE romantic story of the bow and arrow and the part it has played in the life of the human race was vividly portrayed by Mr. Art Young, famous archer, who came to Hartwell on May fourteenth. Armed with only the bow and arrow, Art Young has gone into remote sections of the world to secure specimens of rare animals for the American Museum of Natural History. He has accompanied famous explorers on trips into Africa and to the Arctic, where he aided in filming moving pictures of his fascinating adventures. Concert nor. LEO STOFFREGEN, a well-known local pianist, on May nineteenth gave Ia most enjoyable concert to the Hartwell students. Prof. Stoffregen was assisted by the Reverend R. Groenke, pastor of the Carthage Evangelical Church, who gave two vocal solos: Give a Man a Horse That He Can Ride, and The Lamplit Hour. It is hoped that Hartwell High will have further opportunity for like de- velopment of musical appreciation. The absolute attention of the students evidenced their genuine love for good musicg their hearty applause was a. compliment to P1'of. Stoffregen and Pastor Groenke. I431
