ST.. VINCENT'S ACADEMY.
Twelfth Annual Commencement Ex-
ercises Held Last Evening.
A DELIGHTFUL PROGRAM.

The twelfth annual commencement
of this justly famed institution of
learning brought the elite of our city
to Colombo hall last evening, where
the exercises took place. The hall was
filled to its utmost capacity-not a va
a chair remaining.
Promptly at 8 O'Clock the curtain was
raised, and a class of winsome young
ladies and intelligent gentlemen greet
ed the audience. A finely rendered
overture, Poet and Peasant" on two
pianos by Misses Marguerite Ingram,
Lorraine Sheehan, Rose Girard and An
gelus Powers was a delightful feature.
Miss Powers then stepped to the front
of the stage and in her own masterful
style delivered a brilliant production,
every word of her fine address being
distinctly heard to the %farthest limits
of the auditorium. Most beautiful she
appeared in her dainty graduation
gown of shimmering silken material.
A ringing chorus, Awake, the Night
Is Beaming." by the young ladies of st.
Vincents music school. was well re-
ceived.
A fine Grafton on Patriotism by ].
Bremen, al a noted number. The

an admirable manner and The Citizen
predicts for him a brilliant future in
the fields of oratory. A violin solo by
Adele Girard, accompanied by Stella
Boatright, on the piano was received
with rounds of applause.
A fine recitation with piano accom-
paniment by Miss Esther Heron. one
of the fair young graduates, was one of
the most noted features of the pro-
gram. The young lady was grace and
beauty personified as she went through
them any gradations of this difficult
recitation and held the attention of the
immense audience to the last word. st.
Vincent must be truly proud of this
promising young lady.
A well executed piano duet, La Bal
adine,' by Misses Marie Wincheck and
Mary Tierney, was listened to with
the utmost attention.
A class recitation, THE Bells" was
thoroughly enjoyed. 1t was enhanced
by beautiful music played back of the
scenes and the graceful posing of the
young ladies and fine facial expression
all rendered. The recitation is a pict-
ure to be long remembered. Our young
friend, Joseph Armijo, then stepped to
the front of the rostrum and in truly
eloquent style rendered "Cataline's De-
fiance." In future years may we have
the pleasure of frequently listening to
him. A violin trio by Misses Adele
Girard and Angelus Powers and Mas
ter William Mcclellan, accompanied by
Miss Rose Girard on the piano,
was received with acclamations
of applause and was appreciated
highly by the music loving members
of the audience.
Miss Marie Wincheck then gave evil
dence of rare Evolutionary talent in the
portrayal of the scenes called forth in
her recitation, "Dead-Name I'm
known" She was IN good voice and
gave evidence of careful training and
earnest study and fully comes up to
the high standard required of st. Vim
cents pupils in this department. The
young lady gracefully took her place
amid rounds of appreciation.
A beautiful piano solo, "Rigoletto De
Verdi by Miss Stella Boatright, shows
that she will make her mark as a skill
full musician.
Miss Mary Tierney. in her sweet,
graceful girlish manner, delivered an
original poem, Our Gifted Girls and
Noble Mothers" Her production
teemed with noble thoughts and was
clothed in beautiful language.
The valedictory ny Miss Heron was
the gem of the program. The compo-
sition was filled with thoughts clothed
in elegant diction. She spoke as only
one can speak who is about to leave
happy s~chooldays forever. Her deep
pathos was her principal feature and
she did not fail to impress her own
feelings upon the audience. The heart
felt appreciation she received was am
pie proof that her labors had not been
in vain and that her abilities are far
above the ordinary. May success
crown the efforts of the class of 'O2,
voices its many friends.
The diplomas were then awarded by
Rev. Father Mandalaria. Judge b. S.
Baker gave a fine address to the grad
yates. The honorable speaker was fire.
quently interrupted with generous APP
plause. His address contained the ele-
ments which make life and fellow-man
the better for having lived up TO the
high ideals he set forth.
The class song terminated the eXer-
cises, which We're instructive, cultured
