GRADUATES GIVEN
THEIR DIPLOMAS

The program rendered by the grad
yates was one of the best rendered
and most enjoyable Of all the rscitals
given at Whitman this year. Each of
the graduates took part. The first
number was a Concerto by Grieg, play
ed nv Miss Ella Ayers, with accom-
paniment on second piano by Miss
Branscombe The piece was difficult
work. and Miss Ayers reflected great
credit upon herself and her teacher by
her rendition of it. The second num-
ber on the program was a selection
from the opera I'll Barbiere di Sivigli,"
1t was sung by Miss Bina Wilson, who
possesses an excellent soprano voice
that was set off to perfection in the
trills and runs of the selection. Miss
Alberta Williams followed Miss Wilson
with two songs, one in Italian, and the
other an English love song. Miss Will
Jams has a sweet, malOdiOuS voice,
which admirably adapted to the songs
which she sang Following Miss Will
Jams. Miss Grace Tee, graduate. in
piano forte, played LISTS ''Polonaise.'
The next numbers were two songs, Old
English. both admirably rendered by
Miss Jessie Criffield, who has a So
prano voice of high range and power.
The last vocal numbers were a series
of Tennyson's songs from ''The Prin-
cess sung by Miss Mural Bodweil,
graduate in voice. Miss Bodwell has
mezzo voice, which was suited to the
theme of the songs, and she sang with
expression and feeling.
The last number was a plano num-
Der by Miss Claire Despair, assisted
by Miss Branscombe on second piano.
President Penrose, director of the
Conservatory, then presented the di-
plomas to the graduating class, and
closed the exercises with the benedic-
ton
Owing to the illness of Miss Markley,
she was not able to appear on the
program, and her two numbers, a
piano solo, and the vocal selection,
Shadow Dance" by Meyerbeer, were
omitted

Down in Hiatt, the black republic, the
negro population of that unhappy land
is engaged in the celebration of the
150th anniversary Of the birth of Jean
jacques Dessalines, he who was
Jacques / of q comic opera empire that
existed for brief span under the tropic
skies. The exact date of his birth no
man knows, since he was born to the
dark obscurity of slavery which takes
no account of possible future great

June II, and the Haitian negroes are

From his birth until he had at
tanned the age Of 3d. Dessalines re-
manned in bondage, a slave of French
masters who knew him only as a hard
worker and hard fighter. In 1871 an
instruction famed over the island
and the blacks turned upon their own
ers, demanding freedom. Dessaline was
conspicuous in making that demand,
apd three years later he was set free
With the other slaves In ST. Domingo.
Brave as he Twas ferocieus, Nnscru-
pulous and cunning, with an active
brain and strong arm and a heart
that knew no pity, Dessalines longed
for power and lusted for white mans
blood. Sedulously he planted the seeds
Of rebellion in the brains of the blacks,
but the latter were held in check by a
greater than Dessalines, the immortal
Tousaaint rOuverture. who had all Of
Dessalines mentality without his fero-
city. When Toussaint had been de-
ported by the French and flung into
the Besancon dungeon that was to be
his tomb, Dessaline saw his opportuni-
ty. With the evacuation of the island
by the French, he was appointed-or

But there was not enough OF pomp

An engagement in our neighborhood
that was to have been kept secret Tor
several months "leaked" when young
doctor sentimentally tucked his lady
loves letter beneath his pillow. He was
roused in the middle of the night for a
call and came back in the morning to
find his bed made and the boarding
house. to which his secret had been
divulged by the chambermaid, ringing
with his engagement.
If you must write them why not
make it a rule to begin them and END
them so that if they were lost no one
would know to whom they belonged.
A case where someone followed that
rule and had reason to be glad came
to my eyes the other day.
I was browsing in the public library
and in a big book found folded sheet
of paper. OF course I shouldn't have
read it. but of course l did and this
is what the little note said:
'Dear-Perhaps I'm queer and OLD
and horrid. but, but I'm going to ash
you a little favor, a very little one
that you will leave the rose leaves al
dead as they are in the locket and re-
move my picture altogether.
LET bygones be bygones-thats al
I'll say, but this year is a new different
year bound by stronger ties whose
symbols are the rings.
Dear, you will grant me this thai
I ask, but you need not if you do moi
wish to-
If someone has missed that dear
crumpled rose leaf of love letter
and someone undoubtedly has--there Is
surely joy along with the sadness ir
that heart to know that though the

world it wanders safely incognito be-
meath the mask of it's wise nameless-
