Delightfully."- Entertained.
Contributed.

Thursday evening, May 31st., Mrs.
d. d. Mcintyre celebrated the close OF the
years work of her music class by de-
lightful reception given to the members
at her home. The class has averaged
thirty-two pupils for the en- tire session,
and has done most creditable work. All
of the class were present to enjoy Mrs.
McIntyre's hospitality. Aspecial prize had
been offered for the pupil who should not
miss a single lesson and should practice
eyerv day. No excuse was to be ac-
cepted for a failure in either respect.
Something may be gathered as to the IT,
deity of the class and the high grade OF
work done, from the fact that instead OF
one prize winner there were eleven, besides
two who missed but one lesson each and
another who missed only two. These
latter were caused by sickness or absence
from town. An uncommonly high aver
age.
The Rev. J. H. Henderlite made short
talk on music, and the prizes were then
presented by Prof Alderman, who spoke
in his own happy and helpful way. The
prizes. handsome gold stick-pins, were
received by Misses Geneva Barnes, Mar
guerite Brady, Katie Bum, Sallie Gar
lick, Roselle Harton, Pearl Harton,
Ailene Lewis, Mildred Lewis, Lula Shell,
Christine Thomas, and Anna Belle Wyse
Kate Bullock and Jessie Carter, each
missed one lesson, and Lizzie Watkins
only two. The hold that Mrs. Mcintyre
has upon the girls affections and her
efficiency as teacher are indicated in this
splendid record of her class, to which
she has devoted herself for the past ses-
sion with such unsparing fidelity.
Following the presentation OF the
prizes, the guests were invited into the
dining-room where delicious refreshments
| were served.
After several hours most pleasantly
spent Mrs. McIntyre's young guests left
| for their homes, pleased with the year 9
work, the much enjoyed evening, and
the prospect of repeating both next year.
