Closing Exercises Largely
Attended.

Commencement week at st. Kath-
arine's has become one of the most
important events in the social life
of Bolivar, and those who have
looked forward with pleasure to it
this year have certainly not been
disappointed.
The exercises began with an in
formal recital given by the elocu-

Miss Smith. Each pupil delight

recital. Miss Bills and Miss Hyn-
son are to be congratulated on their
pupils. Miss Frieda Lueddeman
received a we'll deserved encore for
her mandolin solo.
Tuesday night the intermediate
music and elocution pupils gave a
concert. The capacity of the study
hall was taxed to hold the large
and appreciative audience. The
first number on the program was
Palatinus March, by Hall, render
ed by eight young ladies with VIC
Inns and mandolins. 1t was partic-
ularly fine. Owing to the length of
the program no encores were allow
ed, except to the elocution pupils.
"Diddie's Book" and "The Vaga-
bonds" will long be remembered for
their charming rendition.
Wednesday morning, the begin
ners, under Miss Clara Bills, gave
a recital, assisted by the beginners
in elocution and the violin, Each
little maid did her part to perfec-
ton and reflected much credit on
her teacher. Little Oracle Bonelli
and Gladys Brewer deserve especial
mention among the young musici-
ans, and Nellie Lanigan making her
''baby brothers dress" was as sweet
as possible.
The last night was devoted to a
concert given by the advanced pu-
pills, under Misses Rather and Hyn-
son. 1t is like ''gilding refined
gold and painting the lily to add
praise to the work of these two
gifted musicians. The stringed in
strument class again delighted their
friends with selection, and the vo-
cal pupils one and all distinguished
themselves. Miss Sallie Morgan
Yerger was quaint and bewitching,
looking for. her grand mothers love
letters. The final chorus was ex-
quisitely rendered by all the music
pupils. ST. Katharine's is indeed
fortunate in her musical advanta-
ges.
The prizes and certificates were
awarded to the following young
ladies': Music prize, Miss Clara
