Closing Exercises of e. A. Seminary.
While there are no ENTERTAINMENT given by
this school, to which the general public is invi-
ted, yet the last week of the year is devoted to
exercises. which are designed to Stimulate the
pupils and to enable the parents to note their
progress in certain branches.
Monday was given to the Preparatory Depart
ment in their new and well-lighted room, in the
building lately bought and fitted UP for the pur-
pose by the president. The results of the trial
to which the little ones were subjected were
perfectly satisfactory. Miss Sue Trigg has the
children under perfect control by the law of
love. and their progress in several branches was
gratifying.
Amongst the ''preps." the honors were
awarded as follows: Medal for department,
Dovie Andrews; medal for industry, Octavla
Lesueur; medal for spelling, class A.. Mary
Jenkins; class B., Annie Lesueur; class c.,
Johnny Jennings; Miss Louie Sessions reading
class, q copy OF Tennyson, to Ryland Mexican.
Tuesday morning the spelling contest took
place. Three gentlemen of the press were
present. including the Intelligencer's represent
