the number of twenty-five, assembled at
the residence of MIR. and Mrs. A. r..
Campbell, where the time from eight to
eleven o'clock was spent socially with a
supplementary musical programme fol-
lowed by light refreshments. That the
occasion was the twenty-fifth anniversary
of Mr.. and Mrs. Campbell's marriage,
the guests were uniformed until the
fact afterward appeared in public print.
The silence of the hosts in that particu-
lar was unique and presumably quite as
ENJOYABLE to them as the usual method.

made this year in relation to class parts,
making the exercises to conform as
nearly as possible to the class day exer-
cises in the large secondary schools

former years. New features will be in
troduced in the way of class history,
class prophecy, class poem, class Grafton,
