tlonaI Work oy giving their hearts TO
God.
SENIORS FIRST EVENING.
Monday evening was the first of
the commencement exercises by the
school. 1t was seniors first evening
and seventeen sweet girl graduates
held up to the view of the immense
audience dainty pages of manuscript
fastened with dainty bows of ribbon,
and read their graduating essays.
AS soon as the doors of the church
were thrown open people began to
file in and at 7:45, the hour for open
ing the exercises for the evening,
there was standing room only. All
of this that was available was soon
occupied. The scene in the church
was no less attractive to the eye than
that of Sunday morning. The even
ing costumes of the young ladies of
the school and the audience and the
soft mellow light added to the effect.
Principal Clewell presided and APP
propriately introduced each essayist.

The variety of subjects and the
bright compositions of the young
ladies and the intersper. ing of music
kept mp the enthusiasm of the
audience until the last moment, and
though it was after 10 o'clock when
the last number was rendered every
one seemed loathe to leave.
The appearance of Miss Adelaide
-Scriber in the recitation 1.-The Fool
ish Little Maiden" was received with
great applause and the audience in
sisted upon an encore for some time,
asked to be excused, Mr.. Clewell
stating that she would appear sever
al times during the commencement.
The music>was all good and reflect
ed much credit upon the pupils and
teachers of the institution. Every
number was literally applauded.
Miss Lillian Crutchfield, who sang
''Manola'' very sweetly, was enthu-
siastically received.
The essays were bright and inter-
esting. OF the seventeen there was
not single dull one. The topics dis
cussed showed that the young ladies
have been inspired with true aspira-
tions and taught to think. Many of
the essays displayed much literary
talent and all of them showed a lib
eral stock of general information and
thorough work on the part of both
teachers and pupils. Many who have
attended commandments at the
Academy for years say that the
essays last night, altogether were the
most creditable they have heard from
an Academy graduating class. The
audience was interested from the
beginning and all the essays were
heartily applauded.
SECOND SENIORS EVENING.
Tuesday evening was Second SEN
ior's Evening and the remainder of
the graduating class read essays
interspersed with music. This was
another equally interesting ecca-
sion.
After the exercises Principal Clew-
ell, Mrs. Clewell and the senior class
entertained number of their
friends of the Academy who have
aided in the work of the commence
ment, in the dining hall of the Acad-
envy. This included the Salem
Orchestra, the railroad, telegraph
and express officials and representa-
