The entertainment given in the chapel
Friday evening by Miss Oliver, teacher
| of elocution, at Hamline, assisted by her
pupils, was one of great merit. The pro-
! gramme had been arranged with care,
| and the numbers were given in man.
| ner to best display the natural abilities
| of each pupil. "a Christmas Carol, !"
by Misses Irvine and Albertson, was
| especially good, as was also the
selection given by Miss Leland.
| The most delightful numbers of the
| programme, however, were those given
| bv Miss Oliver herself. These were a
series of Wordless Poems, expressing
| expectation, love, grief, joy. pride,
| devotion, farewell-and were rendered
| with such ease of movement, grace, and
4
| large audience was entranced. Alto
| gether it was delightful evening, and
| Miss Oliver and her pupils are to be
| congratulated on having given one Of
| the most entertaining programmes of
| the wear. The musical numbers were
given by Prof. F. w. Merriam.
The seniors have been quite the So
| ciaI lions of the week. Everybody de-
| lights to do them honor until one begins
| toe think that if, with all their feting
| and feasting, they do not lose their
| heads before next Thursday, they may
congratulate themselves. On Monday
evening the class was delightfully."- en-
tertained by Mr.. and Mrs. w. d. Harris
| at their residence on MfnHehaha street.
| Thursday evening Mr.. and Mrs. j. b.
RoSsman rendered them an informal re-
ception at their home on Simpson ave-
nue.. in honor of Miss Mary Stevens,
| member of the class and sister of Mrs.
Rossman. Last night they were enter
tanned at dinner by Mr.. and Mrs. &. III.
| Hazard at their hospitable home. thus
| closing a week brimful Of pleasure and
excitement i'm most enjoyable manner.
The class will dine to-day with Mrs. IL.
W. Stone at the Ladies' hall. One cam
| not be a senior but once. and they are
the envy of all the other classes.
Last evening a small party of the
] freshmen ladies and gentlemeniwere en-
| tertained by one of their class mates,
| Miss Joe McClary. at her home in Min
| neapoiis. They drove I'D and returned
| at rather late hour, but the fun they
| had words would fail to adequately ex-
press. The party comprised tie fol
| lowing ladies and gentlemen: The
| Misses Montgomery,Je jerks, Reid. FroSis
