ANOTHER HAPPY SEASON.
OPENING OF THE SALEM ACAD-
EMX COMMENCEMENT.
rection of Miss Tracy-Sweet
Music by Sweet Girls.


The commencement week Of the Sa
lem Female Academy opened last
night with a grand vocal concert I'M
der the direction OF Miss Tracy, yocal
: instructor.
| AS usual, the commencement exer-
| cises are held in the church. About
| one-thlrd of the auditorium is con-
verted into an elevated rostrum and
as the audience marches in they are
greeted by most charming pyramid
! of female beauties, ascending almost
to level with the galleries.
The seniors, with their cream robes
and Oxford hats, and the junior
classes in delicate evening dress and
fresh young faces, form a most Deauti-
full and impressive picture that will
not soon be forgotten by the audience.
Salem Academy is famous for SUI
perb commencement seasons and judg
ing from this first evening. it may
well be presumed that this Season
will add yet a more brilliant star to
that constellation Of 81 such seasons
which this venerable institution has
celebrated. Well may il be said that
she "moves on from triumph to
Ii. u.
gathering strength as she advances in
years.
The exercises Of the evening were
opened with a selection by the chorus
class, Summer Fancies," from the
pen of Metra. This class is composed
of about twenty-six young ladies, COM
prising the very best talent Of the in
stitution.
OF the nineteen selections constitu-
ting the program, there was not an
uninteresting feature, and the rendi-
tion of each was all that talent
and culture could make them.
Misses Lillian and Daisy Crutch-
field, Caro- Buxton, Bessie Gray, Katie
Hanes, Bertha Shelton and Miss Far
rah, CT Winston, and Misses Ada Fo-
gle. Carrie and Cordelia Lineback,
Miss Fisher, and Miss Siddal, of
Salem, took prominent parts in the
exercises.
A piano solo, '.Silver Spring." by
Miss Lillian Crutchfeld, was especial
ly well executed.
Were THE SENTINEL to comment
upon each selection, as they deserve,
special ssheet" would be neces-
STATED.
The audience regretted the an
nouGcement that Mrs. Ebert, on ac-
count Of sickness, was unable to rem
der the vocal selection allotted to her.
