Miss MARY SMIrH's essay, "Sir Walter
Raleigh and His Times" was an excel
lent production. Criticism is disarmed
before composition which provokes lii
lie but approval. Her essay was really
good one on really interesting subject,
and words piled on words could say no
more for II.
SIEGEL LuproN's Grafton, Earth 8
Battlefs!ds," was grand and well dsiv.
cred. SIEaEL deserves to be mentioned
as possessing many Of the qualities of a
good declaimer.
Miss KATE MooSEY's essay, "Whi,e.
wash." was very fine and was read in e
clear loud tore of voice. She gave some
very good hits at the "whitewashed'
people of the world--people who are not
what they seem. 1t was quite an original
production and very much enjoyed by
all who heard H.. She handled her sub
iect remarkably well indeed.
Miss ANNA Wars essay, "Woman's
Influence" was jnst to the point. She
gave woman the credit, which she we'll
deserves, Of carrying refinement to the
to social life, to every inter.
est except government, and said "She
will also carry 1t to legislation and 10 the
whole Of public procedure, II 1t is to be
carried there at ALL She also said.
"That when women really want the suf-
frage they will get it."
EDGAR ARMsTRoNG's oration, The |
Growth of Political Liberty" was very
excellent and we'll delivered. We pre-
dict for EDGAR very brilliant future.
Miss CAnRIE CAssrL's essay, "Twenty-
Eight Hundred and Eighty" was very
She presented vivid pic
lure of what the world would be one
years hence. and what improve
nents would exist in that over the pres
snt age; how the people then wonld
wonder what the various articles nov h.
use we're for, aud hold up their hands in
when viewing some article
of dress worn by the present generation.
The last essay, "Rome Was Not,
Built in Day." by Miss Jos HoEFFLER,
Of the class, was splendid
production. Her farewell to her class
mates was very beautiful and was deliv-
cred in very pathetic and affecting
msnner.
In . word, the orations we're original
productions characterized by many prac
teal thoughts, admirably rendered and
deserve TO be commended. The essays
we're noted for individuality OF style, as
the matter was nicely arranged and ele
gantly expressed. They were read in an
easy and natural manner and were appre.
ciated by all.
The toilettes of the young ladies we're
handsome, being OF white carleton and
swiss trimmed 10 silk, satiE, lace and
flowers.
At the conclusion Of each perform.
ahce beautiful bouquets Of flowers we're
sent up to the performers.
The music furnished for the occasion
was grand. The duo sung by Miss HAr-
TIE DtEHt and Mr.. W. B. WApDELL was
very fine, Miss HATTIE making her runs
and trills with perfect ease and grace
The "Waltz Song" was a splendid quar-
tette. Miss BELLE SINCLAIR sang her
part spendidly, especially her solo, which
was quite difficult. The quartette, "Good
Night" sung by Mrs. +. 0. CASTLE, MISS
HADDfE HILL, Messrs. j. B. WALLACE
aad j. w. HAWKINS, was very pretty and
veil sung. The piano accomplishments
we're finely executed bv Mrs w. p.
Core and Miss MArTtE OKEY The or
chestra rendered some excellent music.
We notice quite an Improvement in the
way OF . piccolo, played by Mr.. F.
REEF.
Sup't W. p CopE presented each Of
the graduates With diploma, and deliv-
cred an address which was highly CON-
mendable. Prof. CoPE Is entitled to
