College Preparatory.


That the College Preparatory of Mount
Holly has not receded. but, on the con-
trary, has steadily advanced, was appar-
ent to all who were so fortunate to be
present at the annual commencement in
the Opera House last Thursday evening.
The exercises gave unmistakable evidence
that the college has been carefully and
skilfully managed the past year, and
caused those present TO feel proud OF our
towns educational institution.
The programme opened with greeting
by Mary E. Watkins. Mary Folwell exc
cuted violin solo in charming manner.
"La Chevalerie" was the title of an essay
in French by Elizabeth Smith Morris.
Elizabeth P. Holeman and Edith Kelley
gave evidence of their musical education
by performing piano duet, and Gertrude
S. Robbins recited Death Bridge of the
Tsy." A National Flag Drill was exc
cuted by ten young ladies, each of whom
carried the flag of the nation she repre-
sented. After performing several difficult
evolutions the young ladies formed in the
center of the stage, and nine others came
forward and placed wreaths on the flag
stats.
The graduating exercises opened with
prayer by Rev. DIR. S. Gifard Nelson,
Maud w. Wetherill delivered the saluta-
tory in Latin. Those who are competent
to judge say it was fine production.
Next came an essay. "The Queens High
way" by Julia Watkins. The class poem,
by Helen J. Cross, elected nerlted ap-
plause, and the audience was much
amused and pleased with Bessie Hulme's
history and prophecy. The valedictorian
was Mary Folwell.
The principal, Miss Cobleigh, presented
the diplomas to the graduates, and adj
dressed them in an eloquent manner
Rev. Mr. Kimball, the new principal,
made some appropriate remarks, and the
ex ercises closed.

meath. The frightened horses plunged
forward and broke the traces, and Mr..
Kimball in his efforts to hold them was
dragged oyer the dashboard of his wagon
and injured quite severely. 1t was some
time before the wagon was got out of its
dilemma and the harness temporarily re-
paired in order that they could reach
home.

The Township Committee has issued its
annual eoict against fireworks and explo.
sives. This is right Every year, for two
or three weeks before the Fourth of July
the boys begin banging frecrackers, caps
and torpedoes, to the annoyance of all,
especially the owners of horses The au-
thority under which the committee pro-
pose to abate the nuisance is state law
which fixes the penalty and provides the
method of procedure. Nobody objects to
all the explosive patriotism that is neces-
sary on the Fourth of July. and while
the authorities have no power to legalize
such action, it is an unwritten law that
there will be no objection to it on that
one day.
