a selection entitled patriotic Prohibition"
He was followed by Miss Ora Russell in q
pertinent inquiry, What Shall We Do With

every word most distinctly enunciated,
1.-THE English Sparrow Must Go-What
, About the Liquor Vultrre?' was next given

/ Another terms work is Just ended. aud the
, student heaves Il sigh of satisfaction as he
| thinks of the ordeal of examination safely

work; consequently, regular lessons are

celebration of the close of examinations, aud
! the fact of their having no lessons for Mon
day. They played all manner of games sung
songs, made speeches and some say they
finally ended the frolic with grand feast
which was set forth in a most tempting
fashion in one of the ladies' rooms OH the
first floor. There were just round dozen
of the merry girls, and the amount of
genuine fun ley managed TO crowd into the
minutes between and IL o'clock is almost
! beyond belief. They all agree that il was the
! iolliest time they have had during the year.
