YMNASTlC DISPLAY.
the Tenth Annual Exhibition
Proves to be the Finest Ever
Given at the School.
AN S. R. 0. AUDIENCE.

crowded Monday evening. Every
nook and corner was filled up.
There was not seat that could be
purchased after the doors opened,
and people, by the hundreds, walk
ed up, laid down the price of adj
mission, satisfied with standing
room. Never before has there been
such an audience present, in the
gymnasium, or at least not within
the knowledge Of the writer. The
occasion was the tenth annual gym
nastic display, and it proved to be
one of the most successful exhibit
tions ever given OH the hill 1t is
no disparagement Of the nine other
similar events that have been given
in the past, to say that, never has
the gymnasium been so elaborate
ly decorated, nor the student body
appeared to better advantage. The
ensemble, as to program, costumes,
and environment, was typical of the
thorough knowledge and refined
taste of DR.. A. K. Aldinger, who
is at the head of the physical train
ing department OF the School.
Again we repeat that the gym
nasium never looked prettier, The
matter Of decoration was given over
to the classes, and the harmony Of
enthusiasm with which the work
was performed was most apparent.
At the one end was the blue and
white of the Seniors, at the other,
and in striking contrast, the orange
and black of the Juniors, while the
Middlers, displayed their colors,
in the center. The effect was in
deed, beautiful. In fact. faint
words furnishes feeble idea of its
splendor.
Now as to the program, it could
not have been better. From the
overtures, by the orchestra under
the direction of Mrs. Sutliff, to the
aesthetic dancing by senior girls, it
was first class in every respect.
There were but few novelties in
troduced, but every number, was,
from an artistic standpoint, sound
to the core.
DR.. Aldinger and his able assist
ants, Miss Baldwin, Miss Kells,
and Mr.. Marcy, are to be con
graduated upon the success OF the
event. We present herewith the
