The essay on Music" by IL. Marie
Regain, was very thoughtful one and
gave evidence that she was well read
in her subject and thoroughly under
stood it.
The recitation by Anna NJ. Larson
was exceedingly well rendered, and
brought out wildly the many fine
points in the selection.
"The Play of Hamlet was handled
by Harry ID. Williams, who gave
ample evidence of having carefully
studied that great masterpiece of
Shakespeare.

The exercises were not too lengthy
and were varied, 80 that no one got

words of the highest commentator on
the whole exercises, and our teachers
