THE ROLL OF HONOR FOR 1898
A Full List of Certificates, Distinctions and
Honorable Mention Conferred During
The Past School Year.

completing the report of the concert
given at ST Mary's Sschool last Wednes-
day evening A marked feature Of the
program was its diversity and compre-
hensiveness, and it was a pleasure to
note that the young ladies rendered
their selections with an ease, grace and
surety that at once put the audience
the condition of actual enjoyment. Not
a single number was dull nor beyond the
capabilities of the performer.
The violin department again carried off
high honors, not alone in the solo work,
but also in the ensemble playing and in
the Accomplishments to the choruses. The
tone and information of these young play
ers was really good.
Some brilliant playing was done by the
piano pupils; but one thing was espe-
cially noticeable in all, namely, the
clearness in passage work and the intelli-
gent phrasing. These two factors com
bined with a singing touch made the
piano playing a delightful feature of the
evenings programme.
Among the singers of the evening we
made the acquaintance of some lovely
voices, not only sweet by nature, Out
showing in their method and expression
the most thorough and intelligent train
ing. The trio: THE Linden Tree by
Schubert was one of the gems of the
occasion.
The concert closed with two choruses
accompanied by vioins and piano Some
lovely effects were obtained by this COM
bination.
The fact must not be overlooked that
all the work shown at these commence
ment concerts las well as in the Tenny
son programmed is simply the legitimate
outcome of the years study, and little, if
any, special preparation is made.
In the words of a visitor thoroughly
acquainted with the work done in the
most progressive Northern schools: I'm
all my experience / have never seen Il
more beautiful commencement; and the
concert on Wednesday night was worthy
of the best pupils of any of our Eastern
conservatories."
