Singing Class Ode.
Benediction.
The parts were excellent throughout.
The salutatory was In Lstin, well de-
llvered; at least, Il had familiar sound
to the classical editor, once Latin stu
dent, who heard various words which
once formed part Of his vocabulary, but
who WAS able to translate only the Oft
repeated clause, "Vos salutamus." The
class history of Mr.. Rounds was written
in the style Of ''Chronicles" and was
very entertaining. The prophet, Miss
SWEET, read the future OF her classmates
from Photographic plates developed by
her wonderful gift OF "presight,' and
revealed some surprising as well as some
expected futures.
IL IL evident not only that the gradu-
stes realize that life has work for them
TO do and problems for them to solve,
but also that the young men have stud
led the history Of their country, and that
they are good sturdy, patriotic Ameri-
cans. Good healthy Americanism Was
the keynote Of all their essays.
IL would Of course be too much TO say
that the essays were entirely devoid OF
cruditiss, yet they were, In all respects,
exceedingly creditable.
