Masters Ernest Hanson and Chester
Souls. The children were well Drilled
and their sinsing good. The little solo
lists, Misses Eva Kimball, Florence Mars
ton and Msri,n Patrick bid fair TO rival
some Of the older singers before long.
After rsfrsshments were served the grad

duotory remarks made By their preosp-
tor, Mr.. willis L. Biokford. were recsivsd
with shouts Of laughter. The Latin
salutatory by Miss Andrews was dsnv-
cred In an inspiring way, making Us all
wish ourselves a. proficient IL the Ian
gusge as the salutatorian. The essay on
ssoosaps Va. Mountsins" by Annie Marie
Brown was warmly appiaudsd. Miss
Caroline Frost's Latin posm was next
on the programme, and caused much
merrimsnt. Miss Cloudman's sssoy on
'sThe New Woman" and Mrs Bickford's
on "Looking Forward" were line. The
class poem by Mrs. Chaffln was very

tears Of the class testified. Miss Pickett
evidently understood the true meaning Of
tbs clsss part assigned to her. The mag.
or. Mr.. Charles Billings, conferred the
diploma, certainly In as original way
as it was laughable.. The class oolcr.

Bouquets were received by several Of the
graduates. Miss Bradbury and Mir. Dana
Edwards Furnished the music, which
was excellent. We understand thut the

tien of Mrs. Charles Billings, assisted BY
Miss Susie l.. Clement, pianist.
Earnest requests for repetition wers oil
met with firm refusal, but we shall re-
