comments Of approval.

sinel with an interested and enthusiastic
audience all of whom were present by
invitations and was composed exclusively
of parents OF the participants and partic-
ular patrons of the institution. There was
large class graduated and every single
one of the several features Of the program
was rendered. in a manner which reflected
great credit on both the students and the
instructors. The musical numbers deserve
especial notice as well as the "minims, "

all did well their parts. showing untiring
efforts on their own parts, Il conscientious
interest, and the rigid discipline and
careful training executed by the academy

which attracted especial attention from
the audience were the sa,utatOry by Miss
