As we mentioned in last weeks issue, this
weeks CLARION contains the last issue OF the
Abe STIR. Shouldn't be edited though in
the near future 1--WE mean next Scptcmber)
we hope it will be conducted by new mana
GERS, but we are unable to make any positive
statement. For two long months we will en-
iov the long looked for vacation, when at the
expiration of that time we will return to our
| Alta Schoa for another years work ana
study; nobody knows how many will return
or who will fill their respective school mum
beers and occupy their seats. We VIII not he
surprised to hear Of Nos. q, =, and II IA
| "school marms" and rs several of our lol-
ars have declared their intention of beng
| their pupils we will be mlnns several whom
we expected to have with us next year
Where were the Y Us and their ChM.
| te,,d1r last week We hunted the four pages
of The CLARION in search Of their paper but
in vain. We missed the column very much,

| aminutions which we had lust week, and hope
that they will rot be pressed 50 hard for
! work AGAIN rs to unable them to perform
their duty.

When we are striving to write our names

emblem have at last decided upon having the

will follow our example.
We are glad to report in this issue that the
! long dreaded examination has come and
gone and as far as we are able to Judge, ali

once more free, and when We would have
reason to rejoice, comes the sad parting of
scholars and teacher. Some of the girls may
never return as they expect soon to be in

On Monday noon as we left the school
