given seats Of honor on the stage. Our
columns do not furnish room sufficient
to make special mention of the ten ora

Studio" Miss frankie E. LaFarree !;
and "The Rugged Cliffs" Miss Nettie
Zingg, were the various orations writ
ten and delivered by the several men,
bers of the class, and it was the miver-
sal verdict of the very large audience
that the subjects were handled in excel
lent style by all, and that the class as n
whole showed very advanced degree
of culture. When an audience can lis
ten to ten long orations and several
musical numbers and not feel fatigued
1t is sure indication that the addresses
were far above the usual degree of ex-
cellencc.
The Exercises were opened with in
vocation by Rev. Wiltsie followed by
an overture by the orchestra-Miss Ty-
Ter, pianist, Messrs. Rheinfrank aud
Blue, violins, l.. E. Webb, cornet, VIM
Cranker, trombone. The next musical
number was vocal duet by Mrs. Dick
and Miss Luse. March Marcello, by
the Orchestra, was well received, and
the vocal solo by Miss Luse was warmly
applauded. She responded and sang
Scanlon's "Rose Song" which was very
pleasing. The next musical selection
was German solo from "Der Frei-
schultz" by Mrs. Dick, who was recalled
and sang the beautiful ballad, "Robin
Adair." The "Cleveland Theatre
March" by the Orchestra, closed the
musical programme.
The presentation of diplomas and ad-
dress TO the class by Prof. S. M. Dick
was listened to with marked attention
The Prof. spoke very feelingly OF his
class, all the members having become
very dear to him in the past two years
OF work as teacher and pupils, and he
was pleased TO commend them TO the
citizens us having been faithful, earnest
students and worthy OF the respect and
confidence OF all. The benediction wa.
then pronounced by Rev. j. S. Fitterei
and the immense audience dispersed.
| The students were the recipients O
many beautiful flowers and other glftl
from their friends and admirers.
