The JuniOr-lIiddIers Receive.
The class of '03 rendered reception
Saturday evening to the students and
other friends. There was large atten-
dance and the occasion will be remem-
bered as one OF the most successful social
events of the school year. The guests
were received by Miss Mildred Drew,
Miss Armida Gilbert. Miss Edith Ranney,
Arthur r. Burbank and Herbert w.
Smythe. Miss Mabel Greenwood and
! ROydon Chickering presided at the punch
bowl, and the introduction committee
consisted of SO other members of the
class and to their attention to the guests
good part Of the pleasure was due. The
committee carried miniature golf sticks
adorned with the class coors. The pro-
gram consisted of an address of welcome
by the class president, Ralph B. Hooker,
whose speech was unique and effective
adaptation from Lincoln's Gettysburg
address. A farce entitled Frank Glynns
Wife" was presented with the following
caste of characters:
Frank Glynn Earl Evans
Alice Glynn Pearl Davis
Mrs. Glynn Nancy Peck
Stella Glynn Ella Simpson
Gertie Mildred Drew
Norah Julia O'Malley
Ed Asbury Edward Smythe
Miss Anna M. Somerville rendered
three solos; instrumental music was fur
nished by a trio consisting of T. F. Bur
roughs violin, Mr.. Roach, clarinet, and
Miss Margaret Gorham, piano. Mr..
Burroughs also played a solo. The hall
was prettily decorated with palms, ferns
and cherry blossoms. The program
ended with the Virginia Reel and the
time honored final march.
''Hunting for Hawkins"
On Friday evening comes the long ex-
pected visit of the Dartmouth Dramatic
Club presenting the highly successful
three act comedy Hunting for Hawkins"
by Guy B. Steely at Howe Opera House.
Last year this club presented THE Mag
istrate" in nearly all the larger cities in
the east and this years production is as
great a success as was its predecessor.
In choosing the caste a strict cOmpeti-
ton is required, so the best dramatic
ability i'll the college is brought out. The
boys have been trained for this show by
Robert w. Hurley of Boston. The com
pany comes under the auspices of the
Academy Athletic Association and the
play deserves large audience.
The play is one of the cleanest, up-to-
date productions of its sort and is brim-
ming with interest from beginning to
end. The ladies parts are all assumed
by young men and the little feminine
mannerisms they have taken up are very
laughable.
Base Ball.
A picked up team from the Academy
played the West Burke team at that
place Saturday afternoon. The score at
the end OF the ninth inning was tie, II
to II, but owing to lack of time the
game was not continued. On the after
noon of Memorial day the Academy S will
play the village team on the campus, and
on Saturday the Littleton High School
boys come here for game.
The Senior Reception.
The senior class were delightfully."- en-
tertained at Principal Comstock's home
Friday evening, and besides the gradual
ing class, the faculty and trustees were
present and a few invited guests. Mr..
and Mrs. Comstock were assisted in re-
ceiving the guests by Miss Fellows. The
rooms were tastetully decorated with
ferns and spring flowers, and the good
cheer within made all forget the inclement
weather without.
Observance of Memorial Day.
The Academy holds special exercises
this morning at o'clock in observance
of Memorial day. There will be several
musical selections and brief addresses by
E. c. Potter of Chamberlin Post, 6. Ar
and Arthur F. Stone. The public are
