Miss Ruby Guess executed her solo very
prettily, and Miss Martha Rays rendl-
ton of Bohm's La Fontaine was excellent.
Miss Irene Whisnant, the teacher OF
music, is most efficient and pains-taklng
instructor, and these exercises reflected
great credit upon her ability and interest.
The play Cabbage Hill School, was
marked success and was heartily enjoyed:
The boys and the little Misses all did
admirably. Masters Bernie and w. Hogg
and Miss Elizabeth Brux deserve especial
mention. Miss Sadelle Guess was an
ideal school marin. Misses Graham and
Blythe, who drilled these little ones for
this play, deserve an amount Of praise, tor
it was strenuous work.

torium was taxed to its utmost, at which

Hall.
While this is small class, it is said to,
be one of the brightest classes that has
ever left this institution, and we have on
ly encomiums for these bright young peo-
pie who acquitted themselves so splendid
" in both the composition and delivery Of
their "papers." They were all so very
good that it would be difficult to say
which exce1s. Mr.. Harry Wroton's "wll1'
was excellent, and provoked much mirth.,
Miss Sue Barton's va1edictory was beautl.
fully written; it was chaste and full OF
pathos.
The address of Hon. E. D. Smith was
a master piece. His subject, "What we
want, how to get it, and what to do with
it. was most dextrously handled by this
fluent, graceful speaker. 1t was replete
with sound logic and good advice, and
his portrayal of truth was very beautiful.
His address was brim full OF common
sense, pathos, and humor. Mr.. Smith IS
a forceful, magnetic and graceful speaker.
Prof. E. H. Hall, the superintendent,
in short address, presented the diplomas
to the graduates. :,
This closes one of the most successful
terms in the history of the school. To
Prof. Hall, the superintendent, Mr.: J. E.
Jehries, the principal, and their efficient
corps of assistants, too much praise cam
not be given for the zeal and interest they
have taken in their work.
