as it will be for the Senior class day on
Wednesday evening, the academy gradua-
ton exercises on Thursday evening, and
the faculty reception Friday evening, the
closing event of the week which means
so much to college students. The room
was we'll filed with an apreciative audi

out flown.
After a piano solo. "Traumerei," by
Miss Mollie Warren, Rev. w A Bos-
worth of the Paramount church made the
invocation.
The first number was an excellent rem
dition of 1.-THE Ruggles Dinner Party
from Kate Douglas Virgins Birds
Christmas Carol" by Miss Nina Bigger
Miss Bigger is at her best in humorous
and dialect pieces.
The Fairmount Chorus then made its
first appearance, singing Southey's Red
Scarf" to music arranged by Veazie, the
piece which took so well at the Fair
mount-Winfield debate last month. Pro-
fessor E. C. Marshall deserves great
credit for the way in which he has con-
Quoted the chorus this year. There has
been constant growth in numbers and
interest, and he is evidently the right
man for the place. The alto obligato was
sung by Misses Nina Miller, 'O3, and AL
media Cook, '04, supported by the rest
of the chorus
Miss Myrtle Woodford then recited Nc
Donald's THE Wind and the Moon" Miss
Wocdford's appearance was as pleasing
as ever; she interprets her pieces remark
ably well for one so young and there
seems bright future before her.
A difficult violin duet by Claude Dunkla
was well rendered by Messrs. John Lovci
and Chester Lockwood.
Miss Bigger followed with two short Sc
lections. ames Whitcomb Riley's 'Nothin'
to Say" and THE Lost Puppy" by
Wood
c. w. YOsts baritone solo, 1.-The Turn
of the Road" by Cowles, was encored.
Professor Marshall accompanied him.
On their second appearance the chorus
sang two verses OF Killarney, and in re-
Spouse TO a vigorous applause gave BON
ME Don" as an encore.
A historonic feature was then intro
duced. Walter Herrick, as Brutus, and
Chester lockwood, as Cassius. in cos
tune, white Roman togas, gave the tent
scene from Shakespeare Julius Cea-
sar," where Brutus reproaches Cassius,
who Is deeply grieved by his friends dis
trust, and makes such a reply that the
two become reconciIed. Both young men
did well and showed good preparation.
Mr. Herrick has considerable talenr as an
actor and as reciter
At the close of this scene Miss Millison
presented to Miss Nina Bigger a teach
er's certificate won by two years faith
ful work. This closed the evenings pro-
gram. -
1t would not be Inappropriate here to
say few words about the department
whose work was thus especially exhibited
and Miss Mabel c. Millson, who has had
charge Of it for some time. Miss AIllison
is well known to the people of Wichita.
and is very loyal to the town of her
birth. She has exceptional ability as a
reader and as a teacher Of elocution as
Well as of physical culture, as instructor
in both of which lines she is a valuable
member Of the teaching staff While the
regular rhetorical work is cared for bv
members of the faculty, training for this
end special work nelocution is given bv
Miss Millison, and to her many OF the
young ladies OF the college are indebted
for their correct carriage and develop
ment in a physical way.
