ham and Orwell. Mesdames Tompkins

rate exercises in all rooms. After the

sembled on the school grounds and each

was furnished in the planting of a few
evergreens. The class of '99 planted
q rclass tree. After the exercises

This entertainment is not properly a
part of the graduating exercises, but is
3 pleasant diversion from the more ser
ions work Of the graduates. In this

familiar themes of their own school life

real personality that is sometimes
wanting in the more serious efforts.

charged for this entertainment and as
the surplus. ii any, will be used for the
purchase of q high school piano it is
hoped there will be a liberal attend
ance. II you receive a programme of
