Annual Commencement Exercises of St.
James school Thursday Evening.
Twenty boys and girls finished their
work at ST. James school Thursday
and in the evening the annual COM
mencement exercises were held at the
school hall. The young people made
their first start out into the world un-
der the most suspicious circumstances.
The hall was brilliant in its decora-
tons of spring flowers and palms
while flags huttered here and there
among the other decorations. The
work OF the graduation class was ex-
ceeding1y good and reflected credit on
the work of the sisters for the year.
When the entertainment began,
shortly after eight O'Clock, every seat
ia the house was filled, and all during
the entertainment the work of the
young people was received with ap-
p1ause.
The program opened with piano
duet by Masters Walter Burke and
Edward McCaferty. The piano duet
was one of the best things on the pro-
gram and both the young gentlemen
showed great ability as planists. Fol-
lowing the music Miss Mary Langan
delivered thelsa1utatory greeting the
friends on behalf of the class of 1901.
She spoke of 1ife's message to the
members of the class and expressed
the wish that life so splendidly begun
by the young people would always be
great commencement of better things.
After the sa1utatory Father Roche
appeared and in few well chosen
words conferred the honors of gradua-
ton on the different members of the
class.
A chorus of little girls, accompanied
by Miss Ida Ferry, then sang *The
Song of the River" in very charming
manner, after which Miss Grace Ferry
read an essay on the subject, "The
Madonna of Palos,' which was we'll re-
ceived by the large audience.
The next number on the commence
ment program was little drama IN
two scenes depicting the story of Sc
bastion, the slave, and Murri1lo, the
artist. The play was splendidly rem
dered by the following cast:

After the little play the eighth grade
girls sang in a pleasing manner,
"Faces We Never Forget" after which
a trio of pretty maidens, consisting of
Misses Beu1ah English, Doreatha
Slater and Beatrice English, gave
"Oberon,'; by Weber.
This concluded the first part of the
exercises, and the second part was
given over to the rendition of the
pretty little three part play, "O1ga, or
Out of the Shadows Into the Light. !"
Every part was we'll taken and the
play was one of the best ever given
in St. James hall. Between
the acts of the play music was fur
nlshed by Josephine Jacoby, Edward
McCafery and Ida Ferry. The cast of
