At 2:30 Wednesday afternoon, i'm the
assembly hall of the academy, the mem
bers of the class of 1909 presented lit
erary and musical program of excellence
and variety. Upon the artistically
draped stage sat the graduates. with
the American flag as a background.
while the cOlors of the class crimson
and white, were prominent in the floral
decorations.
The main feature of the entertain
ment consisted Of readings from the
school paper. The Star of the West.
edited by the class of '09, each member
reading, in most cases. her own contri-
buttons. The selections ranged from
grave to gay. in prose and verse, with
some appropriate national touches and
clevel local hits. Very creditable were.
the short stories, with a we'll concealed
denoument in each case holding the in
terest until the close. The young ladies'
acquitted themselves in a very pleas
ing manner.
The music numbers. also by members
of the class, were rendered with artistic
grace and finish, displaying marked va
riety.
At its conclusion Father Cushnahan
in his ever felicitious manner. congratu-
lated the young ladies on the matter
contained in their paper and OH the
manner in which 1t was delivered. and
as a word from the pastor of St Io-
seph's and the friend of Sacred Heart
is all the commentator the pupils de-
sire, the congratulations were an ear
nest of the happy Thanksgiving day
all spent. The enthusiasm it's celebra-
ton should awaken was heightened by
Father Cushnahan'S patriotic allusiOn
to the holiday, and mis- wise suggestion
as to the manner of spending it. re-
minding all that its name indicated the
way in which it should be observed, FOR
every heart should be lifted ito Him
from whom all blessings flow"
Besides Father Cushnahan. Father
Ryan also honored the occasion. as did
several of the parents and friends of the
pupils.
Though the later hours of Thanksgiv-
ing day were spent in pleasure devised
and enjoyed according TO the taste of
the pursuer. some at the game some
at the matinee end others quietly at
home, all at Sacred Heart joined in the
morning act of praise to God the
Mighty Giver. Mass was celebrated at
st. Josephs church at o'clock, and an
appropriate sermon was delivered by the
pastor.
No holiday followed Thanksgiving at
Sacred Heart. Studies were resumed
with earnestness Friday morning, and
in many classes special written tests
We're given. In an educational instittl-
ton of this kind there are so many stu
dies pursued, and so many accomplish
ments requiring extra time. that every
is precious, and no extra holi-
days can be granted, much to the an
noyance of pupils now. perhaps. but to
their delight in the future.
