The Literary society at the high school reported record attendance and featured piano pieces by Miss Herford and two numbers by Miss Morris. A mock trial with students as judge, attorneys, and a defendant in room 23 on January 26, 1900 drew strong cross examination and energizing speeches. The Pedestrian club planned a heel and toe walk at Beranton Lake with a skating race and hockey game sponsored by McMillan the jeweler. A hockey match with Lackawanna is scheduled this afternoon in fair weather, with a large student crowd expected. The literary group reconsidered a prior decision on Carbondale High School contestants and resolved to accept the original committee’s report and to issue an apology to teachers. Prof Welle is expected to lecture on Liquid Air next week.
