Ient system of ventilation and tbe an
dience was pleasurably disappointed.
for il was the general expectation that
the place was going TO be insufferably
close. 1t was well that there was moth
ing to detract from the pleasure of the
occasion, for 1t was certainly most in
teresting. 1t was an audience that
would not have required much to hold
its attention, as the majority Of those
present were friends OF one or the other
of the graduates, but had there been mo-
such bond of sympathy 1t would have
been just the same, as the exercises in
themselves were suiiicient to hold rapt
attentloh.

par with her vocalism. Her exception
ally easy stage presence was one VI the
most refreshing features OF the even
ing's programme.
After the school had sung "The Bridal
Chorus" Miss Jennie Thomas read the
second essay, Must the Classics Co."
in which she tritely reviewed" the ia
miliar pro and con arguments on the
much discussed question and then clev-
erly advanced some original arguments
in favor Of the classics, which won for
her hearty and continued applause.
The first part of the programme was
closed with a humorous recitation,
