entitled THE Jittlest Girl in
School, " elected according to their
nature hearty applause and laugh
ter.
The closing exercises of the adj
vanced classes took place in the
Principals room, commencing at
O'Clock p. m. To furnish seating
capacity for the large audience the
doors communicating with Mr.
Gears room were drawn. The walls
of both rooms were tustefully decor
ated while festoons of green hung
from the ceiling.
The programme consisted of
songs, Dialogues, recitations and
compositions. 1t is needless 10 say
every number was worthy of the
occasion. The dialogues "Scwing
Society" was rendered by Misses
Evelyn Dexter, Mamie Carroll, May
Weir Alice Lycett, Ida Camara, Ida
West, Myra Angus, Annie Patty and
Master Frank Poor, The droll Co.'S
tunes and gossipy conversation
caused great merriment. The sue
ceeding numbers were artistically
rendered and duly appreciated, but
the recitations of Miss Jennie Hare
and Miss May Atkinson are deserv-
ing Of special mention.
Miss Hare appeared in GLOW
Ruby Played the Piano" This
was no school girl recitation, but a
piece of superb acting. Nothing in
the piece was beyond the young
lady's capability. From grave to
gay, slow TO animated, sublime to
ridiculous, the gifted speaker glided
with the facility of a born actress.
She sat down amidst perfect storm
of prolonged applause.
Miss May Atkinson succeeded
with "Shamus O'Brien." 1t was
rather trying TO follow such sue
cessful rendition as Miss Hare's,
but Miss Atkinson was fully equal
to the occasion. Her animated de-
livery, her perfect characterization
and graceful stage presence imme-
diately commanded attention. As
the recitation progressed she devel.
oped intense dramatic power. Voice.
action and gesture seemed TO elevate
the piece from recitation TO scene
and from an elocutionary display /,
a tragedy.
The performance closed with Ha-
waii Ponoi of which everyone
! knoweth the tune and no maj
kneweth the words. The exercise
reflected great credit on all con
cerned, participants and teacher:
alike.
One thing marred the performance
viz: the place where it was held
audience and participants were de
tailed in the most unsatisfactory
manner. Pupils cannot do them
selves justice dropped into crowo
like an organ grinder. The music
which was led by Prof. Berger wa,
sweet, but an arrangement of thc
voices so as to blend would hav,
rendered it far more effective. EX
perlence has demonstrated tina
actors and audience should be scpar
ate. 1t is to be hoped that the mex
literary exercises of this school
which is the pride of our city, may
be given in the Opera House. GIvl
OUR BOYS AND GIRLS CHANCE.
