Bethel school.
The thermometer up TO blood-heat, and
slight indications OF repetition of Satur-
days simeon, did not deter our feIlow-citi-
zens Of both sexes from the lower part OF
the city packing the Theatre Yesterday eve
ming from cellar to garret. The cause OF
this general outpouring was the closing ex-
ercises OF Bethel school-thc pride and
boast OF its particular pupils and their
friends and patrons. and OF which Mr.. Julian
Z. Thomas is the popular and efficient prin-
cipal.
AS in the other schools all The scholars
were dressed neatly and were the very pic
ture OF health and good looks. Their de-
pertinent was excellent and showed conclu-
siyely the parental care to which they had
been subjected.
Among the visitors on the stage were
Rev. Mr.. Barrett, OF Christ Church. Charles
p. Rady, Esq, w. +. Drinkard. Esq. DR..
William III. Taylor, DR.. S. p. Moore, Prof.
Hasseleff. and DR.. Cone.
Shortly after O'Clock, Princlpal Thomas
touched his little bell and the exercises CON-
menced. The following was the
PROGRAMME:
Song by the school; speech by Garland
Gary; duet and chorus" Wandering in
the May Time '-by Mary Wacker, Ella
Stevenson, Eva Rex, Eva Clayton, Mary
Hines, Mamie Mullen, Ella sirles, Alice
Meadow; "Straw berries "-song by Eva
CLAYTON; "Red Riding Hood" by fifty
children, with Mary Wacker as Red Riding
Hood; Charlie Bowman, Wolf; Mary
Hines, Mother; Ella Stevenson, Queen;
speech by Ralph Milbum; "In the Gloam-
ing "-song by Ella Stevenson march by
thirty.iour scholars; duet" Over Hill,
Over Dale "--by Mary Wacker, Eva Clay
ton, Ella Stevenson, Mary Hines; speech
by Garland Garv; Quaker song, by Eva
Rex and Charlie Bowman; valedictory, by
Charlie Anderson.
The singing by the children was finely
executed. Masters Gary and Milbnrn dis
played real genius, and will uue day, no
doubt, be heard from enhancing listening
Senafes. The singing OF Misses Mary WacS-
er, Eva Clayton, Ella Stevenson, Mary Hines,
Eva Rex, Mamie Mullen, Ella SirleS, and
Alice Meadow were as good as has been
beard during these closing exercises. The
first four named were specially noticeable,
and also in company with Master Charles
Bowman distinguished themselves in cred
Riding Hood" Misses Clayton and Ste
yenson rendered in beautiful manner
several solos. The "Quaker Song" by
Miss Rex and Master Bowman, was highly
enjoyed.
Master Charlie Anderson, who goes to
the High School, delivered the valedictory,
and delivered it in fist-cIass style. The
great feature of the exercises was the march
OF the girls, led by Miss RiX, and the BOYS
by Master Harrison. This march was
arranged by Mr.. Thomas, and riyallcd
that in Cinderella. The marching, c0un-
ter-marching, and manGuverins OF the
little army corps was rapiurously APP
plauded, and the Bethel exercises were
voted Il grand success.
Miss S. NJ. Pemberton presided at the
piano, and to her in a great measure this
success is due.
The percentage at the school for the ses-
sion was 96.2.
In a few years Mr.. Thomas has raised
Bethel school 10 q surprising degree OF per-
fection, and has improved the whole moral
and intellectual atmosphere OF the locality
in " hich the school is located. He has had
the full cooperation OF faithful teachers,
and 10 them also is infinite credit due, and
should be awarded.
After the reading Of the reports, Coun-
Gilman Charles +. Tay IOr, in very happy
speech, presented the medals 10 the pupils
entitled TO them, and the Bethel-SchoJl eX-
ercises for 1880 passed into history.
