Hunt. the last named rendering a song
OF his own composition that won him a
hearty applause.
Perhaps one OF the most pleasing fea-
lures OF the program was the reception
that was held from 100 10 8 O'clock when
In some cases one scholar had not seen
another since the last gathering and all
referred 20 the happiest events during the
year.
This was followed by the concert, and
