Fair weather is their lot and has been for
twentv-one years and this week has been
no exception to the rule. Tuesday morn-

history by M ISIS Lawrence; in astronomy
by Miss Fisher and Tuesday at 2:30, in
botany by Miss Fisher and in the Chapel
in English literature by Miss Mathews.
At 4 O'Clock the gymnastic exercises pro-
ceeded under the direction OF Miss New

nesday.
On Wednesday morning were more eX-
in outlines OF history by Miss Matthews
and in Physiology by Miss Bentley. In
the afternoon in Virgil by Nj ISIS Lawrence

through the exercises was rendered by
some of the pupils. The able teachers
Miss Hunter and Miss NewcOme have

made a special feature of the exercises.
