COMMENCEMENT EXER
CISES GALORE.
Hosts of Graduates Receive
Diplomas and Medals as Re-
wards for Years of Hard
Study.

Among the many school com.
mencement exercises that have
occurred this month in city and
county, none were more interest
ing and successful from every
standpoint than that of the Visi-
tatlon Academy, on East Second
street, which took place on Tues
day morning last at $50 o'clock.
Every year this event is anx-
iously looked forward to and the
large hall is always crowded to
the doors with friends and rela-
tives of the students. This year
was no exception, and the hall
which had been reprinted and
decorated during the past year,
was tastefully arrayed in ex-
quisite floral coloring. The stage
was festOOned with garlands of
green which proved a lovely set
ting to the white gowns of the
pupils and graduates.
The program which is appended
was carried out with marked skill
and ability by the young ladies,
the musical numbers being par
ticularly effective. The gradu-
ates were Misses Claudia G. Of
futt, Of Montgomery county;
Mary Agnes ReardOn. White
Post, Va; katherine B. Loughran
and Mary Eurydice Miller, of
Washington, ID. G. Each of these
received gold medal and diplo-
ma. Rev. FIR. Coleman announc-
ed the premiums and prizes and
the same were presented by FIR.
O'Rourke. Rev. Frs. Walsh and
Richards, of the Novitiate, Null
len, of Tennallytown; Rennolds,
of GAINESVILLE, and Faley, Of
Washington, were also present.
Rev FIR. O'ROurke delivered an
address on education.
After the regular exercises the
meeting of the AlumnI took place
in the hall. Miss R0salie Forrest,
of Washington, acted as presi-
dent, owing to the sad death of
Mrs. Victoria Raymond some
months ago, who occupied that
position. The meeting was a
happy reunion of old friends and
schoolmates and was most en-
joyable event. Miss Forrest was
elected president and Miss Kath-
arine EiSenhauer, secretary. A
banquet was served after the
business meeting, at which Miss
Forrest responded to the toast,
"Our President" and Miss Mary
Blaine to "Our Alma Mater"
The members of the graduating
class were elected members of the
association.
The art reception held on Mon
day evening last was attended by
a large number of persons. The
variety and class of exhibits was
fully up to the standard of past
years and in many instances sur
passed it.
