 Miss Mary Warner of Sandy Hook V was the pianist and three boys of the it school played violin accompaniments, Masters Charles Gay, Arthur Platt and u William Shepherd. Much of the success V et the exercises was due to the prompt h ness With which each part was brought on, and the teachers and students of the a Academy owe much to Miss Warner, the p pianlst, for her skill and promptitude in d leadlhg OH the choruses. The music was a under the direction of Mrs C. $. Platt l and much credit is due her for the care t' tul drilling on this, as we'll as on other c occasions in which the school has come u before the public. The Academy teach a CTS who occupied seats on the stage were d Principal P. k. Cliff, Miss Lillian French, J i: Miss Mabel Cummings Miss Sarah Beers, J Miss Mary Bacon and Mrs c. $. Platt. W The teachers and graduating class t were very much pleased with the digni- d lied and appropriate address of Rev Mir W l4insley in awarding the diplomas, and u the class was particularly pleased with o1 the significance he attached to the class p colors. fl Many very fiattering compliments have a' been paid to the graduating class and h. members of the chorus for the fine ap- b' pearance they presented individually V, and as a body.
