at It. Joscph's always attract large
crowds. a. il is we'll known that the
pupils never fail to give evidence Of
the careful and patient training TO

good Sisters having charge of them
and that rare treat may be
expected. Right. Rev. Bishop keane
presided, fanked on each side by the
clergy of the diocese, including Very
Rev.: Father Van De Vyyer. and
Rev. Fathers Slattery, Doherty, and
Baumgartncr also the Xaycrian Bro
Tiers, Philip. Michael, Peter, and Cyril.
Father Van De Vyver read the names Of
the successful pupils and the Bishop
distributed the premiums. The silent
drill, new feature in the pro-
gramme, was frequently applauded.
The operetta and the various vo-
cal selections particularly BeatriX)
were excellently rendered. while
the valcdictory, "GOld Lies Deep
in the Mountain" beautiful compo-
sition, was read with expression and in a
clear and distinct voice. The theatrical
