There was happy reunion OF the class
OF 1905 at the academy Sunday after
noon when Miss Mary Desmond, inc
president OF that class, gathered her
classmates the Misses Florence o'Neil
and Catherine McDonough, back TO the
home of their school days 10 renew theh
acquaintance with the friends and scenes
OF other days. Interesting accounts Oh
the intervening years were heard IRON
each. and yet IL seemed so natural TO
see the three girls together that those
years OF absence appeared to be an a
dream. This is perhaps the first instance
OF complete class reunion ainong the
alumnac and should go on the records oi

the best that has yet been heard on these
programmes. Taking for her Keynote that
| LOYALTY which must Inspire and inform
this movement for self government now
on in the school, she lnstanced the iate
contest in which St Marys was repre-
sented among the other schools OF inc
state as a proof that there is IL goodly

The April reports OF averages Of the
weekly notes In lessons, conduct, etc;
were read out Sunday morning at IL
o'clock making the exercises unusually
long The speech and readings also be-
ing OF more than ordinary length, there
was insufficient time left for the meeting
designed to be held at that time by the
class presidents for the purpose of reach
Ing some practical decisions with regard
to student government. The main point
present the meetings OF the class presl-
dents should be attended by the Vice
presidents and secretaries, thus securing
more general representation OF the
students in these particular assembages.
| The experiment which Is TO be made In al
| lowing the students a share in the dis
| ciplinary sphere. namely that OF barring
the unworthy from place on the weekly
roll OF honor is to begin operation this
week. IT is thought that this initiatory
step win prove effectual In drawing
more careful and studious attention 10 the
points included In the standard OF de-
pertinent implied in the roll of honor and
induce a more conscientious regard for

The first and second academies took

are all In favor of that idea. especially
during these delightful days OF spring.
