not do so on account oil sickness. Miss
Cora Carr, who graduated at the Pennsyl.
vania College on Tuesday, gave several
fine selections on the piano aud assisted
Miss Flora Williams and Lucy Robinson
in their vocal efforts.
THE FIRST ESSAY
of the evening entitled "Our Class" was
the production Of Miss Randolph. 1t was
interesting to a high degree. The young
lady gave the aggregate avoirdupois of the
class at l.403 pounds; the average
weight of each member ut III pounds.

dolph closed with a fitting tribute to the
late Mattis Battelle, one OF the class that
was 10 have graduated last night.
Miss Katie Heath's eseay was on the
class Motto: "Meliors Olin," the mean
ing of which is better things hereafter"
In her oomely way Miss Nate pictured life
as it is to those who appreciate it, her yer,
sion OF a happy life being such as TO merit
serious consideration. "Meliors dim"
should be as a guide to all as they journey
through life. In order that the nation
may be fitted to enjoy better things here,
after" it is Of paramount Importance that
our children receive a good education, as
the greet men of the world to-day, the
leaders in all good works, with few excep,
tons, are the educated.
THAT BARE VOWEL |"
was the uniq ne subject on which Nora Klee
wrote an int eresting paper. The egotist
came 10 for a Just share Of condemnation,
but the young lady said no more than was
really necessary Tor the proper showing up
of this pur-blind member OF society. Tenn.
persnce and dissipation were spoken OF in
a feeling way, and when Miss KIee closed
with o touching talk about loyalty to ones
country, the audience admitted hat the
young lady had written an interesting es.
soy on an apparently hard subject.
Miss Laura Free discussed Difficulties"
in a very able manner. BEYOND the Alps
lies l.sly. It 10 q pretty country, but the
fugged county must be passed over before
We get to the scene Of this beauty. Beauty
is not appreciated until after difficulties are
solved. She thought that it seemed TO be
a law OF nature, that obstacles we're neces.
sary in order to attain anything desirable.
The student who is bindered by no D
ing force never knows the joy OF victory.
her paper was well received.
OUR LANGUAGE
was the topic On which Miss Bsrtie Ingler
made a very pleasing address. A true
scholar is always distinguished by the cor
reotuess Of his English. A person should
speak as correctly as they sing. The lady
spoke OF the vulgar phrases now go com.
mon among our finest people and she
thought that every effort should DO made
to eradicate such ala from The bee.:iiiul
..ugusqa given us. Many pupils find
grammar hard and upirteresiirg, but if
they are d~iligent in their research Of this
book they are always thankful for it in after
years.

class to appear. He handled his subject.
Impressions" in a manner that told
plainly that he was fully convsrsant with
his theme. The ideas Of youth change as
we grow older, and our knowledge broad.
ems, but the faces seen in youth, though
they pass away, never leave hold upon our
hearts-the impressions are ever retained
Mr.. Lessure struck a bit Of humor when
he spoke Of bis impressions regarding
some of the public institutions OF the city.
aud also when he mentioned the effect Of
the old-time strap and buckle which he had
been unfortunate enough to be punished
with. The impressions Of the latter re.
main with us through life.
PLEASURES"
was the discussion into which Miss Minnie
LoUmsr entered. 1t was a charming srb
iect. and Miss Minnie did it ample iastics
The speaker aptly put it when she said:
Life is fuli Of pleasure If We only make It
80" The delight Of the farmer is TO see
thst his crops are good. The merchant
takes pleasure in selling his goods anj the
lawyer is grs.i6ed when he wins bis case.
Whatever is favorable to our conditions in
life 10 generally q pleasure to us. But We
should aim to get pleasure from everything
