Closing Exercises at St. Mary's,

from Fridays Daily.l
The program rendered at the closing
exercises in st. Mary's school yesterday
afternoon was an impressive and interest
ing entertainment. While the decIama-
lions and recitations were all interesting
and pleasing, the one feature which COM
manded the undivided attention of the au-
dience was the music rendered, both vocal
and instrumental. The young ladies' Sc.
lected for the occasion sang with a sweet
pathos which awoke tender feelings in
the hearts of the audience. The instru-
mental selections clearly showed that the
scholars had been under skilled manage.
ment. At the close of the entertainment
the following paper was read:
DEAR FRIENDS AND PARENTS: 1t is
with grateful hearts that we, the pupils of
st. Mary's school, come forward at the
close Of our exercises, to thank you for
your kind attention and the interest you
have manifested towards us, by your pres.
ence here to-day.
awe have endeavored to entertain you
for a short time, and to give you an idea of
the progress made during the past term,
and sincerely hope that our modest efforts
have o wholly failed in pleasing you.
1t Is with extreme pleasure and SatiSfac-
ton that we recall the past school year,
knowing that in most cases the time gwen
us was well employed, and that the first
ucation have been formed, and a strong
love of our holy religion deeply impressed
on our youthful minds. We have been
taught that all knowledge and talent pro-
ceeds from God, who is the true teacher of
? mankind, SO that while we have received
q thorough training as regards secular
knowledge, our christian education has by
no means been neglected.
We also take this opportunity to thank
our kind pastor, who has shown untiring
zeal in this respect, namely, in imparting
religious instruction to US. So farewell,
beloved parents and friends, and once
more thanking you for your kind atten-
ton. l will say in conclusion that this
closes our exercises.
