HIRAM.
Correspondence


The past week has been one of more
than usual interest to the public here,
by way of entertainments.
On Tuesday evening the SeniorClass
gave their last public entertainment,
embracing a rich and varied program,
which, with one exception. was most
successfully rendered. AS the class
numbers thirteen, and as the twelve
productions were SO highly meritorious
to particularize would require too
much space, and discrimination would
be unjust. - 1t is sufficient to say that
the members of the class have every
reason to be proud of their effort.
Wednesday evening the Arion soci-
ETY. gave their Winter Term Coz -rt,
which fully maintained. the well mer-
tied reputation the society has earned.
Thursday evening Miss Clapp's
music class delighted large audience
with rich production of we'll selected
music. If any locality is vain enough
to suppose it has more and better mu-
sical talent at this time than Hiram,
we invite a contest. Miss Clapp. as a
teacher, is winning friends and no
critics. Her success is established.
Friday evening the Junior class gave
their entertainment! and as usual
where 80 much strife exists as to who
shall most succeed, the large audience
was not disappointed in the expecta-
tien of surfeit of solid intellectual
display. The program was unexcep-
tional, and rendered with that ease
and mastery that the critics only were
disappointed. Their entertainment
was followed by banquet served in
the Chapel. by the class. About eighty
persons partook of the epicurean feast,
and immensely enjoyed the culinary
skill displayed. The innocent hilarity
was marred only by the incapacity OF
the guests TOTO contain more.
Saturday evening. Miss Edna Allyn
entertained her elder scholars at hel
home, the occasion being the closing
of her term of school at the Center
District. This was Miss Allyn's first
effort as teacher, and considering the
school she had to manage, she has
more than fulfilled the most sanguine
expectations of her many friends. I
she continues as she has begun hel
position will be in the front rank o
teachers. That such may be the cast
is the sincere wish of the patrons o
her school.

The Pref. proposes to put the building

thereafter if necessary.
The Senior Glass propose to vary tn
custom observed in the past, of cele
brating Glass Day" by planting
tree in College campus and the othe
f ceremonies attending such an occasion
, and instead plant fountain. This
, most laudable undertaking, and it
to be hoped the class will succeed il
their effort. The members certainl
o could do nothing better to ornamen
: the campus, and remind future classe
: of their good intentions and loft
! ! aspirations.
