The many volumes and the reclpl-
ents are too numerous to mention.
There was no drama this year, as
the essays formed the principal feat
ure of the exercises. The subjects
were we'll handled from scientific,
historical point of view. Each grad
uate showed thorough knowledge OF
her subject, and it would be difficult
to make special mention, as all were
delivered in clear and and distinct
voice, with an ease and self-possession
that were charming.
1t would take too much time and
space to make particular comment on
each of the musical numbers, yet we
cannot refrain from adding our need
of praise to the beautiful selections,
''Polonaise in A Minor" by Chopin,
and ''Le Reveil Du Lion" by Konski,
which were well rendered by the grad
yates, Misses Katharine Scudder and
Nora Lindsay. Classical music is
prominent feature at the UrsulIne
Academy; although not understood by
all. yet it is thoroughly appreciated by
connoisseurs in that art. and all join
in commenting the excellence and
thoroughness of the Sisters teaching.
We shall be pardoned for particular
izing when we say that Miss Juliet
Bucklew won the hearts of the audi |
enae by her recitation, 1.-The Daugh- |
ter of Jairus."
The Valedictory was composed aud
delivered by Miss Agnes Boismenue. |
who expressed the mingled feelings of
pleasure and regret that would fill the
hearts of the graduates when parting |
with one another-their companions |
and their alma mater.
