Closing Exercises
Successful Enter
taininent by the
Pupils of Our
School.

On Tuesday evening of this week in
Lemaire's Hall. the Battle Mountain
Public School held their entertainment
on the closing of their school for the
Summer vacation.
That the people Of this town and vi
cinity fully appreciate a school enter
tainment is clearly demonstrated every
year by the large audiences that greet
the pupils and teachers. The entertain
ment Tuesday was a repetition of those
given in former years, but We cannot re-
frain from remarking that the entertain
ment of Tuesday night was a brill
liant achievement.
The hall was very beautifully decorat-
ed for the occasion. The stage was liter
ally covered with potted flowers from the
Conservatives of Mrs. | Solomon and
Mrs. Lucas, and those taking part rend-
cred their selections amongst a garden
of beautiful flowers which presented a
very pretty and fascinating effect.
Above the stage was strung the class
motto, in gold letters, THE BEST is
YET TO COME" interviewer with the
class %colors, cerise and green.
The hall was packed and standing
room was at a premium. The entertain
ment WAS grand as well as a financial
success and everything went off without
a hitch.

After the program had been rendered
Rev. p. II. Willis, who bad been selected
to present the diplomas to the i've young
lady graduates, namely Misses Beatrice
Wooleoelx, Lizzie Norris, Lena Uren,
Maggie Human and Nellie Conway,
stepped forward. His address to the
young ladies was very interesting aui
instructive, and touched briefly upon the
topic Of education aud praising the
teachers OF this school for the excellent
work that is being done.
The young ladies looked charming,
dressed in white, each wearing a rosette
OF the ciass colors and carrying a beauti-
full bouquet.
After the diplomas were presented to
the graduates, Miss Beatrice Woolcock
stepped forward and on behalf of the
teachers and the young lady graduates,
recited the following:
In behalf of the members OF our
class, | wish to extend to our teach
er and his assistant, our hearty
thanks for the interest he has taken
in us and in our work. Although We
know that our school days are ended
and that we shall now have TO go
forth and battle with the wide world,
yet we shall always carry with us
many pleasant thoughts Of the old
schoolhouse and the many happy
days spent there.
To schoolmates dear and teachers true,
We bid you all a fond adieu.
We hope well ind III the race we must run,
The best for us is yet to come.
The various numbers on the program
were carried out in an able manner and
all deserve high praise for the success of
their efforts.
Much credit is due Mrs. |. Solomon
and Miss Adele Lemaire for the able
manner in which they presided at the
piano and who acted as accompanies
during the rendition OF the program.
The entertainment was followed by a
social dance and was participated in by
nearly all who attended the entertain
ment. The music by II. E. Randall, W.
F.. Macdonald and Miss Beatrice
Woolcock was very good.
Ice cream and cake aud hot coffee was
served during the dance and the tables
were well patropized. We shall sun up
the whole affair in "A very few words by
saying that it was an unprecedented
social success.
The teachers are deserving OF the
greatest communication for their services
10 training and instruction for the event
and every body enjoyed it immensely.
