nished the CITIZEN by friend who

1t was my good fortune to be the one

pills. on Friday, June l4th. The enter

and appropriate address.
Refreshments being served, we "old-
er youths" volunteered our services as
walters, and in few minutes the
young ladies and gentlemen had the
volunteers flying around in way that
was truly astonishing. The walters
becoming exhausted, the young peo-
pie made raid upon the good things
and performed astronomical feats
which proved conclusively that their
mental training had not impaired their
faith in their digestion.
This having been accomplished to
satisfaction of all parties, little Miss
Eleanor Moffit favored the assemblage
with that good old Highland song
"Comin' thro' the rye,n and as her
sweet childish voice sounded through
the rooms, have no doubt that it re-
called to the minds of some present
the time when they may have asked,
"If a body kiss body,
Need body cry.
Master Guy Motter then recited Bry-
ants "ThanatOpsis" in manner which
gained him round of applause.
Afterwards, young and old Qnclud-
ing the walters, who were kindly al
lowed to enter the parlor), assembled
at the piano, and all joined in singing
those stirring songs Dixie" 1.-The
Bonnie Blue Flag" and My Mary
land" and then went home to dream
of them and the pleasant evening they
had spent at the school commence
