The Rainhow's End is visited by many people who come in search of the gnlll. A little girl, Gaudia, Ends the gold and also dis- covers the beautiful roses. After being told by the fairy that there is no return to the land of the Rain- bow's End, she chooses the roses in preference to the gold.

GRADUATE RECITAL On the evening of May fifth, the auditorium was filled to capacity by a most appreciative audience which had come to witness the graduation exercises of the Department of Music. It was the tirst time in the history of the school that a class had been graduatedg heretofore, the students were graduated individually. The program was replete with the most difficult works of the great masters, and in their rendition the young artists far surpassed the capacity for music as presented by High School students. The graduates provoked prolonged applause, and each number brought forth many congratulatory comments. The young artists reffected great credit upon their teacher, whose untiring etforts resulted in the emanation of five young graduates of the school of Music. During the course ot' the recital, the young ladies were ten- dered many beautiful floral tributes. The conclusion was marked by a brilliant address, which was given by our esteemed pastor, Very Rev. J. S. Fagan, after which certificates and pins were presented to the following graduates: the Misses Doris McKenna allfl Agnes McGeehin, and Laurence Farley, pianists, and Messrs. Edward Lynch and John Mul- herin, violinists. Enwfuzn A. Lvxcn, '26. 4 Fr lllh . QI llf HIIIIIIIIIIIILA llllllillllll .g l g fk-sf . T- .... X v N, f89fI

MAIQIE R. CAMPBi-:1.L, '26. BAKE SALE On Friday, October 30, 1925, a bake sale was con- ducted in the High School Auditorium., under the auspices of the Senior Class. Considering the status of conditions in this region, the affair was very suc- cessful. Special mention should be made of the efforts and the whole-hearted cooperation of the entire school. On Tuesday, March 16, 1926, another sale was held by the members of the Senior Class in the High School Auditorium. Through the active support and coopera- tion of each Senior and with the underclassmen as ready patrons, the affair proved successful far beyond the fondest hopes of the committee. JAMES J.

DANCES AND CARD PARTIES The dance immediately following the basketbai. game with St. Mary's High School of Wilkes-Barre on January 22, 1926, was remarkable for the number i11 attendance and for the good grace with which the visitors forgot their defeat and mingled with the Hazletonians. All danced merrily and forgot even the friendly enmity that they felt towards each other earlier in the evening. The proceeds were very satisfactory. Another dance, eagerly anticipated, took place on February 16, 1926, in connection with a Euchre, Bridge, and Five Hundred Party. Like its predecessor, this event added greatly to the pleasure and the treasury of the Class of '26. The third event of this nature was held on April 6, 1926, not for financial purposes but purely to re- unite for the period of an evening the members of Our Dear Old School. In this respect the affair was very successful and its appreciation was portended by the number in attendance, jAMEs J. GARRAHAN. 4 fr C ' lllllllllllllll-A Illllllllllll e as C M' ' f . 0 1 i l Q l 1 1 l - I9l1
