The spring term at the Seminary and
Town Central School closed last week
with the usual examinations for pro-
motions and class exercises. The
school entertainment in Seminary Hall
was attended by a large audience.
The program which was well selected
containing many new features was well
executed. The singing by the Semi
nary Quartette was fine, as well as all
the recitatIOns, dialogues and tableauX.
The town meeting event drew forth
much applause. The flag drill by the
primary school under Miss Guthrie was
a pleasing part of the entertainment,
so much so that they were called to
the stage the second time. During the
exercises Principal Shaw was present
ed with a beautiful silver cake dish, a
set of silver tea and table spoons a
pair of gold cuff buttons and a gold
watch chain; and Miss Mead the assist
ant principal was presented with an
elegant photograph album. These
articles were the gift of the school and |
were a complete surprise to the recip-
tents. Your correspondent can hardly
conceive Of an act conveying better
expressed sentiment of friendship and
esteem. For after two years Of earnest
conscientious work in our village
school bysMr Shaw and Miss Mead, it
must be gratifying to them to feel that
they are appreciated and thus kindly
remembered by their pupils AT the
conclusion of the exercises the school
held a reception which was an enjoya-
BILE hour.
