The School Novuò produced yes- terday evening..by pupils of the Contral British School, under the direction of the staff, proved delightful and spontaneous entor tainment which was as thoroughly enjoyed by the boys and girls as by their proud parents, `·

Described as "a collection of scholastic nousonso arranged and set to music by Mr. Thomas R. Rowell," science master, the Rovus in fact proved to be much more ambitious and contained as many laughs for the adults na there were feats at the staff.

Particularly attractive was the girls' chorus In the anatomy class perfect specimens for such a subject.and more bonny looking than many Hollywood beauties.

E. Stone as a schoolmaster, and W. S. Gregg and Millington as doctors, set the ball of merriment rolling and it was kept going by "Miss Pickles,"naturally well taken as this role was by herself! L. Millington as Professor But- teringors showed considerable aptitude at crazy conjuring and card tricks.

Three short scenes followed dealing with Neros reign, King John, and famous scholastic figures, the aludents throwing themselves into their parts with admirable zest and attention.
