Music. Good Night Quarlette
1t will ut once be seen that the
program is made up of substantial
features, good breadth and strong
parts. but to have been fully con-
vinced of these facts, one should
have seen the entertainment itself.
The singing by the young people
was first rate, us were the various
selections and dialogues while we
may mention the flag drill as abso-
lutely one of the most beautiful
things ever seen in Wahpeton, and
called out a hearty encore. The
male quartette, '..Jolly Jonathan"
brought down the house and was
heartily encored. These boys I'M
personated Il take off on the United
States, Germany, Ireland and
England and were good!
The essays by the graduates
were well up to the mark, elicit
ing close attention and hearty
applause. After which came the
address and presentation of diplomas
by the Hon. p. J. McCumber which
was full Of bright and happy
thoughts calculated to light up the
pathway of the young graduates just
entering upon their commence
ment" in life. 1t. like. every other
feature of the evening was full of
interest.
In picturesque attraction were
there ever anything to equal the
flag drill in Walpeton it was the
closing selection of this same enter
tainment, Tennyson's "Dream of
Fair Women" This was simply
immense, although not brought out
to its full beauty on account of
the defects in the colored lights
for which there was no remedy--it
having been impossible to obtain
suitable materials for such light in
the city on the day wanted. 1t was,
however, a grand finale to a mag
nificent commencement entertain
ment. And in this connection we
will mention Miss Ruggles as hav-
ing done splendidly in committing
to memory such voluminous array
of poetry descriptive of fair women.
The opera house was crowded to
suifocation for standing room and
many people declare that it was the
best entertainment they ever saw in
WahpetOn.
