The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1894-06-15

see Mr.. Writ about making us pei
with lock attachment, so that whe,
We run across our weak spots (lnC
we seem to have them) we can pul
down breaks on the pen.
Coming now to the next number
we find George Weeks wrestling witt
Feudallsm." Though his name i.
Weeks he seemed to be strong enough
for Feudaism.
The Wandering Jew, a difficult
piano duet, met with approval by the
audience for the manner in which i,
was played by Mary Everett and
Carlton Caswell.
Success in Life, by Harry Barton,
was well and fully explained; and
yet, alas, we fear that failures will
continue to be the rule rather than
the exception.
Paul Eyerly clearly demonstrated
the need OF Commercial Schools in a
few earnest remarks, after which Miss
Mae Evans showed her superior
ability in a recitation calling forth her
more than ordinary talent, graceful
gesticulation, and clear enumeration.
Frank Lutz here told the interested
audience about the Importance of
Little Things, which in our inherent
vanity we are apt to overlook.
Living as we now do in an Electri.
cal Age of the world, Carlton Caswell
gave the matter considerable ex-
planation.
The Piano Solo next rendered by
Mary Everett showed her to be an
expert at the instrument.
Arthur Oil next appeared at an op-
perfume moment, when the industrial
armies are headed toward Washing
ton, and he spoke of our Industrial
Progress without once referring to
CoXey. The address seemed to be
complete without such reference, how
ever.
Then followed another interesting
topic "The Politician" in the hands
of Reber Mears. There is no use of
attempting to enlarge upon this topic.
We all know it by heart.
In a pretty essay Nellie Weeks
spoke of the Influence of Natures
Beauties, which was followed by more
excellent music from the orchestra.
The Palmetto and the Pine, as
recited by Anna Savage, met with ap-
plause at its finish.
Forms of Government, a topic well
worthy the thought of statesmen and
scholars, was dwelt upon at some
length by Boyd Maize this, being
followed BY music, brought the pro.
gram to conclusion.
After neat little extemporaneous
speech from Joseph Garrison, Presi-
dent of the school board, in which he
congratulated both teachers and
pupils and all who are interested In
school work and in the upholding of
our worthy school system, this gentle
man proceeded to distribute the
diplomas.

Immediately after the commence
ment exercises the members OF the
High School Alumni, the High School
teachers, and the directors, with Mrs.
r. r. Little and Mrs. Jno. X. Bitten
bender, repaired to the Central Hotel
to enjoy the first Alumni banquet.
After being cordially received, and
for a brief time in pleas
ant conversation, all were ushered
into the dining-room, where for at
least 29 hours the eye, palate, and ear
were exercised and delighted.
MIR. Jno. r. Townsend was toast
master, and in delightful way intro
duced the representatives of the differ
ent classes, the directors, and the
principal. Harry Achenpach res
ponded in be half of 'o3 Hattie Car
penter of ga, and Harry Barton of "a.
Mr.. Robt. Little and Mr.. J. c. Brown,
junior and senior directors, enter.
tanned the banqueters in their usual
happy manner, while the Principal,
Prof. l.. P. Sterner, made happy res
ponse wherever it was requisite or ap-
to the joyous occasion. Thus
happily terminated the iniatory school
exhibit and the initiatory school ban
quet of Bloomsbury.
