On Sunday, June 9TH most beautiful
and religious closing OF the scholastic
year of 1904 of st. Aloysius Academy
took place at the Opera House.
Every available seat in the house was
taken and the program from beginning
to end was carried out to perfection.
Both financially and socially the concert
was decided success.
The grand opening march and welcome
soLg we're the first on the program and
both were we'll rendered and received
merited applause.
The Fan Fairies and when Grandma
was little girl by the Minims were
simply immense, one must see in order
to realise what the little folks can do
when they undertake ANYTHING. One
would imagine they we're on the stage
for years when in reality it was their
first appearance.
The Catholic Psalm recitation by the
senior girls beautiful portrayed the pow
er Of fhe mother of God when invoked in
time Of danger as "Star Of the Sea" was
well received. Boys Rights by the Jun
ior boys and also the Burlesque Band
plainly showed what boy can do and
boy can dare.
The Crow Family by the Junior girls
was we'll delivered and the moral OF this
beautiful piece is that I'VE never see
ourselves as others see u.s."
The Three Call was something above
the ordinary and to those who took part
much credit is due.
( Whose turn and the and way to Wind
ham dialogues by the senior boys simply
kept the audience in constant uproar
of laughter.
The Sailor Drill by class of boys and
girls was we'll rendered showing great
proficiency and skill on the part of the
participants.
The Flower song by the Junior girls
was one of the special features of the
of the program and was we'll applauded.
The Scarf Fantasies by the Senior
girls simply charmed the audience the
various poses and the gracefulness dis
played was most delightful.
The instrumental and vocal selections
without exception were something ex
quisitive, and clearly displayed the train
ing received from their efficient teacher.
The last number on the program was
tableau representing the Blessed Vir-
gin as queen of all the flowers, blessing
her devoted clients kneeling at her feet
paying her their grateful homage.
The comforting OF diplomas to Master
Dennis Colbert. Misses May Harrington
and May Kelleher, then took place, fol.
lowed by an appreciated address by our
beloved pastor Rev. Father Desaulnier.
The Sisters of st. Joseph wishes to ex-
tend their sincere thanks to all those
who assisted them in making the con-
cert success.
