The waltz-reception given by the
young ladies of the village last Monday
evening was a very successful social
feature of commencement week. 1t was

gagged to the comfort of the dancers.
A supper was served in the lower hall
of the opera house during the evening.
The success of the affair is due to the
committee having the arrangements in
charge, Misses Jessie Wainwright,
Florence Chapman, Alice Cushman and
Susan Brewster.
