dent action in life according to the die

for thought and was a good fourth chap
ter of an article of which the three pre-
yious chapters had been given by the
other young ladies of the class. The
yaledictory was not unlike other vale
dietories aud the essay and adieus were
in an easy, pleasant manner
which was a credit to the writer and
pleasure TO her friends.

presented the diplomas and the
exercises closed with a musical selection
