teacher. Their exercise closed with march
led by Esther Avery. They formed a
pyramid, spiral, and other figures without
the least mistake. Their costumes were
ream-color with red collars, cuffs and
sashes, and this, with their movements in
perfect time with the music, made very
charming picture.

NOTES.
At the close of the exercises Mamie Cau-
thorn, on behalf Of the class, presented to
Prof Yates complete set of Shakespeare's
works. The professor was very much over
come but sufficiently recovered himself to
thank the class in few wel-chosen words.
These exercises were characterized by
their simplicity and lack of display; even
the young ladies' dresses were models of
simplicity, being entirely of white aud very
plainly made.
This is the first class that has finished the
hiph-school course, but we hope that each
succeeding year the class will be larger.
Our school building is something to be proud !
of, and just as much pride and interest
should be taken in the school work.

with beautiful picture from his assistants
as a token of appreciation of his efforts,
