". Prentiss to serve on the list of vice presi-

anne time and place Saturday, November %.
There was a large audience present at the
given by the village schools in
academy hall on last Friday evening, and the
Program oil readings, recitations and music |
vas well arranged and of interest, securing
he undivided attention of all. The music,
lnder the direction of Miss MAYNARD. was
veil rendered, a zephyr song by the high
chool being especially pleasing, while the
shaker song by the primary class, although
lardly equal in merit from musical point of
new, was very amusing. All the exercises
.iven by this class were received with ap-
'lause. as the little folks rarely fail to please.
'ome of the recitations by the older ones are
deserving of especial mention; among these
re Elsie Galloway, Rena Porter, Helen Gil
on and Hudson Hastings, also Alice Nav
ard. A lack of self-consciousness, a distinct
and the correct rendering of the
uthor's thought, is the charm of a good reci-
alton and will hold the attention throughout.
The Death of Benedict Arnold'' given by
Elizabeth Driscoll, '97 was particularly meri-
orious, showing careful study and also the
atural talent for elocution which the speaker
assesses. The proceeds of the evening
fhich are for the benefit of the schools
to Sl5.45.
