The exercises were opened by an impromptu speech on Christmas, by our pastor, followed by singing, Reclamation and tableau, then came the "World of Trouble" by four little girls, followed by a series of declamations and tableaux, which were followed in turn by drama entitled "The Delayed Letter;'' then a LCc"N1AAAS5 " AAASo AOAAJ y anu h 1SC1tdIAOu ny Miss 0.
