which makes the Hasbrouck Institute OF
today the power that it is, held its first
annual commencement, doubtful what the
future might bring forth. Its brilliant
success far surpassed the most sanguine
hnpes- of its founders, and last night the
forty-fifth commencement showed the cul-
mination of nearly fifty years of faithful
work.
There were twenty-five in the gradu-
ating class, sixteen young ladies and nine
young men, a class, as Principal Stimets
explained, a little larger than usual
though just the same size as last year.
They made an interesting study in black
and white. these twenty-five young men
and women-a study of youth, life and
beauty as they all marched in.
The exercises began shortly after eight
Hasbrouck Hall was crowded to its ut
most capacity and a mighty burst of ap-
plause went up when Mr. Victor Baier
took his place on the platform to conduct
the music. Then Wernig's orchestra
struck up and the Glee Club marched

and the "Noughty-one' class date. The
girl graduates sat in front, all in their
white gowns, dainty and new, sweeter
than the flowers at their feet, which
banked the platform in rich profusion.
The music was admirable. The orehes-
ira started with Comique CKeler-B -Bela),
after which the Rev. Cornelius Brett,
. D. D., offered prayer. Then began the
essays, the second honor pupil, Miss g.
Louise Jones, coming first with the salut-
atory, given in French, and poem,
Sands of Time Miss Jones is consid-
cred the class poet. Her poem was:-
SANDS OF TIME.
What a change one sees itwixt nineteen
And the years of long ago:
Then-women stayed home and spun and
While men to market their horses drove,
And no child answered No!'
Now, the woman who really is up-to-date,
Is the one who belongs to a club,

In all clubs there is more or less
