Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1880-06-22
WESLEYAN FEMALE INSTITUTE,

thousand spectators on Monday, Tuesday, and
Wednesday nights of last week to witness the
interesting Commencement exercises of the
Wesleyan Female Institute. The exercises
evidenced the fact that all the branches Of in
struction were successfully taught, including
vocal and instrumental music and calisthen1cs.
The, music, vocal and instrumental, was rem
dered by the pupils in such manner as not only
to reflect credit upon their own talents and pro-
fency but:also upon the care, skill, and emil
nent efficiency of their instructors-Miss LIZ
zie ]. Daniel and Prof. E. Louis Ide.
Miss Ellie A. Stiff of this city who has hne
voice and q special talent for music graduated
in both vocal and instrumental music-the lat
ter embracing tn e piano, organ and guitar. on
the last evening, per special request, she sang
in delightful manner the song-"Rose Bush.'
Ofthe sweet singing of Miss Alice Walton, tc
whom was awarded the Vocal Star medal, toe
much praise cannot be given. We have fire.
quently, heretofore, had occasion to notice the
rare excellence of her mezzo soprano voice anG
are glad to find that she has met with the "of
fetal" recognition which she so richly deserv
ed.
The exercises in Calisthenics were beautiful
and manifested careful training.
The movements of this large class were in
such exact time that they seemed to be con
trolled by common motive power. They pre-
sented beautiful and imposing spectacle, as
they performed their graceful evolutions in
lovely unison.
The exercises clearly manifested, by the hon.
ors conferred, that the pupils studied well dur.
ing the session, and that their instructors in
the various brances did their duty.
The list of graduates is greater than at any
previous session.
To become a full graduate the pupil is re.
quired to be graduate in eight schools.
We give below lists OF those upon whom me.
