HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The High School Literary Club held its
last meeting for the year Friday night
The meeting was called to order with tho
president in the chair, the minutes of the
last meeting were read by the secretary and
approved, and the program opened by Mr.
Doak, who read paper on the Danish
West Indies. Mr. Doak gave his listeners
very good idea of the islands, their situa-
tion, inhabitants and principal city, as well
as brief history of their purchase, with
| its reasons. Miss Stella Black then sang
the solo, "Come Kiss Your Nanny Good
night very sweetly. Miss Geneva Heal
read a story entitled ''Song of the Gradual
, ing Gown" dealing with the excesses and
extravagances of "graduation," bringing in
a clever parody on Hoods "Song of the
Shirt, portion of which appeared in the
| High School Notes last week. Mr. Eugene
Carter followed by reciting little poem
with very evident moral, and Miss Kath
crime c. Quimby sang THE Brook very
prettily, accompanied by Miss Helen Doak
on the guitar. In response to an encore
they gave THE Old Oaken Bucket" Mr..
Knight read an extremely interesting COM
position on 'Prince Henry's Visit to Amer
ca,' taking up successfully the personal
character of our recent guest, the object of
his visit, and a brief record of how his time
was spent on American soil. Miss Clara
Bowen sang a sentimental song very nicely.
| and Miss Bertha Wiley gave much pleasure
to her audience by her piano solo. The
next number on the program was an origi-
nal composition by Miss Ruth Brown,
which, on account OF her absence, was
omitted Misses Helen Dilworth and Alma
Colby sang the duet beautiful Moonlight
very sweetly, and were obliged to repeat it
in response to an encore. A piano duet by
Misses Carrow and Leary, pleasngly rem
dered, closed the program, after which the
president, Mr.. Fernald, made very brief
and informal speech, mentioning the fact
that it was the last meeting at which he
was to preside, speaking of the pleasure
and profit of the meetings and wishing the
