Music.
The young ladies who took part in the
evenings entertainment acquitted them
selves admirably, and it indeed will
not trench upon the bounds OF
fl 4ttery to say that the
literary productions were considerably
better than are usually heard upon suoh
occasions. There was an absence OF
sophomore pyrotechuios that usually IL
lumines the atmosphere of the ordinary
comm encement production, and, instead,
the vsledictory, salutatory and essays
bristled with clever ideas, deep thought
happy conception and smooth yet not
stited rhetoric.
Miss Alice Tips, who had the
honor of delivering the salutatory did 1t
most gracefully in neat, welI-written ar
tlcle. A perfect avalanche of flowers was
showered upon the young lady by her ad
miring friends as she bowed herself to
her seat upon the conclusion of her saluta-
tory.
Miss Nola E. Dilworth read, in excel
lent style, 1.-The Story of Loocoon." This
was free but very beautiful trapsla-
ton of Virgil's NEUROLOGICAL story of the
snakes, ana the young lady was entlu-
sias tically applauded.
Miss Helen B sail, as the class represen-
tative, read an admirable essay taking rs
her subject edward the Everlasting
Hills" whioh she treated in most inter
| estinR manner. She was listened to atten'
lively, and like those who preceded her
she was literally rewarded with floral OF
ferings.
OIe of the best written papers of the
evening was the essay of Miss Lizzie
Weller, who took for her subj cot the "Ad-
yantages of Culture" This essay gave
evidence of deep thought and careful
preparation.
One of the most interesting features OF
the evening was the artistic reading by
Miss Edna Walthersdorff of the Night
Watch" 1t is seldom the case that 80
smooth and easy recitation 10 seen upon
the amateur boards, and it may be said
with equal truth that it is not often that
| more finished production is seen upon the
professional stage. The young lady has
grace, perfect control over her lce,correc
Or ption of infections and sufficient action
She evlnced most correct conception Of
the art of elocution, and the floral offer
inRs that we're cast upon the stage wer'
profuse and beautiful.
Miss Mary L. Dsoherd, the honor CIR
of the class, delivered most sensible ant
interesting valedictory. The exercises o
the evening we're closed with the presen
tation of diplomas to the graduates b.
| Doctor Swearingen and the reading o
