to grasp a situation and meet it
with marked credit and distlnc-
tion. The various selections OF
his well-organized and thorough
ly trained orchestra and brass
band were so many lau1els to his
already well-earned and deserv ed
reputation. Prof. John A. Hem
mersbach is a man of modest and
retiring manners, united with all
the accomplishments of a gentle
man. The singing, reinforced with
the orchestra, showed that the
Professor has the tact and ability
to teach vocal music as well as IN
strumental. The two quartettes,
"With the Tide" and "Morning
invitation" sung by StanlsIaus
Glee Club, were tastefully
and correctly sung, to the intense
delight and pleasure of the au-
dience. Outside of St. Stanlslaus
college such singing was never
heard, and it is but justice to the
Professor to say it.
On Wednesday morning at 10
o'clock the closing exercises in
honor of the graduating class were
held. The defamation contest,
shared by Masters Jno. E. Farrell,
Thos. W. Brown and Gerald J.
Murnhy. was the principal fea-
ture and was of a high order of
excellence. The gold medal for
elocution was merited by Jno. E.
Farrell. The valedictory was rem
dered by Gerald j. Murphy and
was thoughtfully and carefully
prepared. Young Gerald had for
class graduates Masters Alexander
V. Allan, of Jeanerette; Jno. <.
Farrell. of New Orleans; Louis
A. Guidry, of Carencro, and Eras-
mus Olivari of Bay St. Louis.
Rev. Thomas A. Delaney. of New
Orleans, gave an address to the
graduates, complimenting them on
their successful termination of
studies, but warning them of the
fact that though this day marked
their end of studies it but opened
for them the battle of life, the
studies of life and action. He
wished them God-speed in their
course through life.
