Hamilton, Tune 1.-The heart of the
average school boy and girl wakes merry
just now over the prospective close OF
school today, and the beginning of the
long-looked-for and anxiously-awaited
summer vacation. 1t is goodbye to the
tiresome school books and the four walls
of the school room for three whole
months. And what possibilities for en-
joyment these three months contain as
viewed from the youthful horizon!
Our high school has been so recently
established that there has not been suffi-
Gent time for students to complete the
courses laid out, and there are no grad
uating exercises from the high school this
year. Instead of such exercises, tile
high school students gave a very please,
ing entertainment last evening in the
opera house, for the benefit of the school
library. A small admission fee was
charged. and the opera house, which will
seat about 700 people, was W to
its utmost capacity. At the opening of
the exercises the curtain rose disclosing
about % youths and maidenS arranged
on the stage. who sang a greeting song
in a very acceptable manner. The foi-
lowing well arranged programme was
carried out most successfully, not a fail

The music furnished for the occasion
is worthy of special mention. Mrs. e. A.
Myers, the wife of our well known dem
fist, is a very talented musician. She has
a rich contralto voice that has been
finely cultivated. Her selection received
a very hearty encore.
Miss Adeline Dow, the we'll known
teacher of voice culture, also has a lovely,
well trained voice, that greatly delighted
her audience. The mandolin accompani-
ment added much to the fine effect Of her
effort, and she responded to the encore
, with a popular little ditty that brought
down the house.
The darby lullaby by Hazel Nelson. a
little miss of 5 years. was delightfully."-
rendered, and the audience was treated
to {. genuine surprise when a number not
on the programme was given by the wee
3-year-old daughter Of Mr.. Hork, the
tailor. She recited a little poem with
telling effect. Little Miss Vandenburg's
solo was also very good.
Miss Cummins, our favorite pianist,
played the accomplishments with her
usual skill. adding much to the success
, of the music. PHI
: The entertainment fttingly closed the
!. work of the school year and netted a
> handsome sum for the object for which
it was given. The teachers and students
are to be congratulated on their effort.

= up today with the case of the State VS.
