12 R. H. S. SEARCHLIGHT SCHOOL NOTES April 29. The second annual French play, Le Voyage de M. Perrichon was given in the Town Hall. Charles Taylor proved to be a delightful Perrichon and Cecile Philippon a loyal wife. The dashing young suitors iWilbert Patton and Robert Livingstonl of the charming Henriette fGib Hurtubisej showed a most considerate devo- tion. Between the acts two selections were sung by the Glee Club. Folk dances, the Virginia reel and the minuet, were put on under the supervision of Hildred Proper and Irene Reed. Altogether the evening was a great success and Miss Kimball is to be com- mended upon her accomplishment. April 30. Those who took part in the French play had their pictures taken in cos- tume. The meadow known as Locklin's inter- cale has been purchased by the town for a public playground. A fine ball diamond has recently been finished and some tennis courts will probably be made soon. Senior privileges started May 17. May 21. The pictures of the baseball team, both basket-ball teams, glee club, orchestra, Searchlight Board and the individ- ual classes were taken. We are surprised to know that the camera is still in working condition. The judging team of the Agriculture Classes composed of Kenneth Chase, Fred Forty and Lawrence Archambault 'went to Burlington Friday, May 21 with Mr. St les. Instead of having Junior and Senior music Miss Brown has arranged for the Glee Club to meet every Tuesday and Thurs- day for the rest of thc term. The last meeting of the French Club was held May 6 at the home of Charlotte Carpenter. The officers for the following year are: Esther Mandigo .......... President Gabrielle Hurtubise, Vice President Charles Taylor .......... Secretary Dorothy Kennedy ....... Treasurer The teachers were entertained by the Enosburg teachers May 18. May 25. The annual fashion show was given by the Home Economics Department in the former office of the Clyde hiver Co. Prizes were awarded as follows: Class II-First on dress, Christine Camp- bell. First on underwear, Iris Sisco. Class III-First on dress, Nellie Kittell. First on underwear, Nellie Kittell. Class V and VI-First on dress, Ruth Marcy. First on underwear, Doris Rushford. Margaret Bessette won the district spell- ing contest Friday, May 21. Tuesday she and Barbara Gibson went to St. Albans, where Margaret won again. Later she will go to the state contest. AGRICULTURAL NOTES Classes in agriculture have graded up some of the lawn in front of the school building, set out a row of shrubbery given by the Woman's Club and added three new elm trees to those already in front of the school. Planting the school garden has been greatly delayed on account of the weather. Late season. crops have 'been planted in- cluding sweetcorn, pumpkins, squashes and tomatoes. These are to be sold at the school fair in the fall. Three boys from Agriculture III, Fred Forty, Lawrence Archambault and Kenneth Chase represented Richford in the annual agricultural judging contest at Burlington May 21st. More high school teams entercd the contest this year and competition was keener. Results for this year have not yet been given out. Last year the team won a banner for first place in judging Jerseys. Many boys are planting gardens to get ready for School Fair and Sheldon Fair exhibits.
