cation" which gave him an Opportuni-
ty to present some convincing state
ments as to the necessity of acquiring q
good education. His oration was we'll
written and his delivery was very good
indeed, being self possessed and having
a good voice. Miss Phyllis MacKay
delivered the valedlctory to the class,
the teachers, board eff education and
her schoolmates. 1t was couched in
good language and was we'll delivered.
Superintendent Quigley made the
closing remarks and offered some timely
suggestions to the class, and was in
fact one of the best speeches the super
intendent has made. The diplomas
were not presented to the class owing
to the fact that OF the twenty two mem
bers only fourteen were able to pass
the required examination, the other
eight failing in one or two studies.
This is due undoubtedly to the higher
standard which has been in vogue in
the school during the winter. With q
selection by tue band the exercises
came 10 c.ose, when many of the peo-
ne passed few moments in convers-
ing with the graduates. Each of the
members were kindly remembered with
presents and flowers.

THE SIR KNIGHTS ENTERTAINED.

A Pleasant Gathering was the Result of
the Sir knights Reception.
That the Sir Knights, who we're in
attendance on the Grand Commandery,
K. T., might carry away with them an
appreciation of Mitchell's pleasure in
having them among US, reception was
rendered the visitors by ST. Bernard
Commandery at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. E. Hitchcock, Friday. AT E p. ml
the Juvenile band marched to the home
of Mr.. Hitchcock and escorted the lady
guests to ST. Bernard asylum, where
the Sir Knights were in waiting, and
the return march was made to the
scene of the reception, the Juvenile
band being in the lead, followed by the
ladies aad the Sir Knights bringing up
the rear. Arriving at the home of Mr..
Hitchcock a formal introduction Of the
Sir Knights to the ladies followed and
a few moments were spent in converse
ton. The tables were placed on the
beautiful lawn and we're very tastefully
decorated. The atmosphere was de-
lightfully pleasant, there was no wind
blowing and everything combined to
make the affair grand success. The
guests were paired and took seats at
the several tables, which we're spread
with viands that were tempting to the
appetite, and while they we're disposed
of busy hum of conversation flowed on.
In one corner of the yard was stationed
the Juvenile band, which discoursed
some sweet music that was greatly ap-
preciated. The supper was prepared
and served by St. Mary's Guild Of the
Episcopal church and too great praise
cannot be bestowed on the mem bers of
the guild for the superb menu and the
excellent manner in which it was
served. After refreshments were over
with the guests fingered on the lawn
and conversed until the shades of eve

they took their departure, first express

the trees and casting bright glow
over the kindred spirits, the green
trees and spreading boughs. the COM

The occasion will linger long in the
memory of those present.

not wish to have it appear that Huron
was selfish and wanted all the best
offices. Miss Cooks declination was
no small sacrifice and was regretted by
the members of the order to which she
belongs.

Miss Harker's Glass In Elocution Afford
an Excellent Entertainment.
At the University chapel Monday
evening occurred the annual elocutiOn
recital, which is always one of the pleas
Jag features of commencement week.
The chapel room was completely filled
with people, the crowd extending out

two selections: IAN Old Played Out

She has good voice and presence on
the stage that is pleasing. Miss Pick

excellence of her work. Probably the
prettiest feature of the evening was the
Romance of the Ganges," pantomine
by seven young ladies', who portrayed
the action of the poem, which was read
by Miss Harker, with musical accom-
paniment. Miss Harker read the
selection we'll and the young ladies by
