 Through the open doorway, singing,
 Come crowd of maidens fair;
 Roses red with them they're bringing,
 Sunshine bright and summer air.
 School days now they leave behind them,
 Ev'ry schoolgirl joy and care;
 Life, where each may do and dare."
 olass Of nsugdhty we love you'
 But we have a sweet, sad duty,
 For goodbye we're gathered here.
 Super semper super," written
 On the banner at your head;
 Onward go, your future golden
 Pathway strewn with roses red.
 Upward, always upward striving,
 Back you'll glance where once you stood. Springtime dreams and girlish visions
 Of a brave, true wOmanhOOd.
 Mem'ries you will carry with you,
 Helping you life's burdens bear;
 Memories sweet of Alma Mater,
 Of her faithful, loving care.
 Take our blessing, bear it with you,
 Take our love, oh, Sisters dear;
 May the future bring no sorrow,
 That will cause you pain or fear.
 And as years shall fit before you,
 Roses fading as you hold them,
 Change to purple and to gold.

D The essay on ''Dialect in Literature" was bright production and was we'll received. Miss Robinson's class his tory was we'll received and delighted the members of the various classes at Ingleside, who appreciated her sharp sallies. The choral selection, from "Vision of the Queen," accompanied by music on the piano, harp, violins and cello, was very fine. The famous Kickhoefer trio of New York assisted in the instrumentation part of this number to the rare delight of the audience.
 In presenting the diplomas Rev J. A. Crockett said in part: ''Super, Semper, Super.."

These diplomas are Inglesides testi monial that you have honorably com pleted the prescribed course of study MT Crockett then introduced the dis tinguished pastor of the Plymouth Congregational church, Brooklyn, Rev Newell Dwight Hllis,' D.
