THE CONVENT EXERCISES.

The large crowd which IN spite
Of the storm on Wednesday night
; filled st. Berchmans Hall to its
limit. to witness the Commence
ment Exercises of Mt. Carmel
Convent School were fully repaid
by the pleasure afforded by the
well arranged and admirably
rendered program. With each
succeeding year great improve
ment is observed in the Convent
Orchestra which is justly the
pride Of the school.
Miss Ello DeBlanc leads the vio-
linists in grace and technique
with promise Of still greater at
tainment, while Miss Bertha
Courage and Miss Lydia Del
cambre follow not far off.
Miss Yvonne Arnandez, who
since her early childhood has
been a central figure in Convent
Exercises displayed vocal and
dramatic talent of no mean order.
She will be graduate in 1912.
Seldom has there graduated
from any school two more talented
and charming girls than those who
ceived their diplomas on We'd
nesday night. The original essay
by Celeste Dimitry was delivered
without reference to the written
paper held in her hand. Her
theme Drifting with the tide
was so evidently her own concep-
ton, that the words flowed from
her lips vibrant with feeling
reaching the hearts Of her audi
tors to be often recalled in the
coming years. 1t requires no
stretch Of the imagination to pie
ture a brilliant future for this
promising girl graduate Of 1911.
Her class mate, Miss Bessie Gal
land who stood abreast of her in
every roll on the varied program
has a voice Of remarkable prom
Use. combining, sweetness and pur-
ity Of tone with great dramatic
expression. The theme Of her es-
say "My Star" was well chosen
and exquisitely rendered, her
clear musical voice reaching her
most remote auditor with ease
Each and every one who appeared
on the program on % Wednesday
night deserve special mention, but
their turn well come in time
The subject of Father Langlois
address was Education" he
claimed that education to be CON-
plete must be built on a founda-
ton Of character, cemented by
firm religious principles.
