The morning star and Catholic messenger. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1868-1881, 1874-06-28
Exhibition by the Pupils of St. 1heresas School.

Last Sunday evening st. Theresas Hall,
Erato street, was crowded almost to suffocation
by the numerous friends and relatives of til @
pupils of the parochial school, who assembled
to witness the annual exhibition by the
scholars. The programme, which we published
that day, was faithfully carried out to the
great satisfaction of all present. We have not
the space to give detailed report, but must
content ourselves with a general com plment
to the boys for the excellence of their per-
Torrance. A clergyman present stated that
he bad attended at least twenty-five exhibit
tions, in different parts of the country, not on
of which entertaining as this, or proved
in higher degree the judicious training of the
participants While thus giving we'll earned
praise TO all, we feel that special mention is
due to Master S. n. ONeill, J. Fleming and c.
O'Brien for the style, almost approaching
perfection, in which they acquitted themselves
of their several parts.
We said that the programme was faithfully
carried out. This is not literally correct.
most pleasing incident, indicative of the graft
tude of the boys towards their best friend, but
which was not on the programme, varied the
entertainment. This was the presentation of
a fine gold headed cane to Father Kenny
Master 3. Monaghan presented the cane in
behalf of the boys after Master C. O'Drien had
in feeling tones, delivered the following ad-
dress:
feelings of dutiful gratitude, we, the pupils of
st. Theresa's School, beg the favor of being
permitted to express the sentiments of esteem,
respect and veneration, which we entertain
for you, who have done so much for US.
We pray the Almighty preserve you to u.s.
Dor many years to come, and, at the same time,
we beseech Him to grant as rich q tAessing to
your jealous and effective labors In the future
as has characterized them during the past.
The paternal solicitude with which you have
so we'll provided for our spiritual and temporal
tude which we shall never be able to liquidste.
We offer you this little gift, though not
costly, yet we hope you will value it as q
token of our love aud esteem for you. Permit
US, Rev. Father, to conclude this but too short
and imperfect address, by assuring you we will
pray the Almighty to grant you many and
prosperous days, and by wishing you that the
tolls of your ministry be cheered by the bright
hopes OF the rewards that await the just upon
the shores Of the blessed.
THE BOYS or ST.. THEREsA's SCHOOL.
The exercises of the evening were closed by
"A most instructive address from Rev. B. A.
Neithart, C. So. r., who, after complimenting
the boys, spoke briefly on the subject of edu-
cation, and concluded with a foe tribute to
the zeal of the Rev. Pastor, Father Kenny, and
to the Christian Brothers
The large space occupied by cur report of
Mr.. Semmes' splendid address alone prevents
us from giving the extended notice to St.
Theresas school to which we consider it fairly
entitled as true model of what q good paro-
chial school should be. This we will give at
some future time, merely stating here that it
is under the control of the Christian Brothers
than whom the world contains no better
