| The graduating exercises IN the NJ. Il.
church last Friday evening were of high
order and called out large and app recia-
tive audience of the citizens of this village
and surrounding community. Everything
passed off pleasantly with the exception
of little disappointment by reason of the
/ diplomas failing to arrive in time to dis
| tribute to the graduates. The whole pro-
gram of the evening indicated that the
! work done in the school had been thorough
/ and painstaking on the part OF teachers
| and scholars. One of the pleasing features
of the occasion was the singing by a chorus
! composed of ten young ladies. Principal
! l.. w. Lawrence has developed in these
! young ladies musical ability which seems
remarkabl and awakened aspirations in
! the girls which will, doubtless, lead them TO
! devote much time and energy to the Guilt
walton of their musical talents. The oc-
casion was opened by song entitled
''BIow Soft Winds" The salutatory ad-
dress was delivered by Earle Howard Ord
way and was very fitting to the occasion.
The subject of Marcia Gays essay was
1.-THE Power of Habit" G. Frances Dodge's
paper was on "Ingratitude;" Lena Wiley
wrote on Character" then came the quar-
tette, 1.-The Angelic usband," sung by
Belle Somers, Clara Stafford, Bertha Lothrop
and Lena Wiley; then followed an essay
by Elsie Edna Moulton, "Silent Influence"
Bertha Wells Lothrop presented an essay
on elements of Success" and the valedic-
tory address was by Oscar Z. Gibbs;
the Girls Chorus sang the Graduates
Farewell" 1t might seem invidious to
mention any one of these graduates by
name but all will bear us out in saying
that every one did finely, and we felt that
on the whole it was a most creditable
showing for the school, and the parents
had a right to feel justly proud of the adj
vance ment made by the pupils during the
last year as evidenced by the successful
graduating exercises Of the evening.
