I. Without a mishap or bIunder, the
: commencement exercises Of the Con-
: vent Of Mercy schools was carried out
at the opera house last night. Seven
young ladies and three young men
were given diplomas for having com
pleted the courses of the school The
presentation Of the diplomas was q
most impressive ceremony and the
I stage arrangement for this part OF the
exercises was indeed unique. The
graduates were seated in front while
1ust behind them were hundreds Of
children seated on raised seats extend
ing from the floor of the stage up to
the curtains. In receiving the diplo-
mas the graduates knelt before
e Father Fullerton, who presented the
diplomas and also passed a wreath of
flowers upon the heads Of the gradu-
ating students.
To make individual comment upon
the others taking part in the program
would be unfair, for every one, from
the smallest little tot to the talented
musicians who sang and played sweet
selections, for the saudience, carried
out to the fullest detail the part that
was assigned to them.
The Double Throne or Religion and
Patriotism was probably the most i'm
pressive part of the program and the
many young ladies and the one young
man taking part in this part of the
program acquitted themselves with
honor.
The junior boys had many parts in
the long program and the interest they
manifested in their parts made them
favorttes with the audience whenever
thev appeared, and the senior boys in
Selections from Pinafore did them
selves and their teachers credit for the
boys drilled as If they were real SOL
diers. The closing tableau In this
was a patriotic scene that was in
spring to everyone.
The kindergarten boys also had their
parts to carry out and they, too. and
the little girls in The Troubles Of the
Little Folks were sweet and pretty in
their acting.
Grace Darling, by the intermediate
girls, In the Garden of My Heart by
Miss M. BECKER, and all Of the plano
selections were especially enjoyed by
the large audience.
The school children, as well as the
graduates and teachers, we're all |
happy over the success of the school |
year and the final commencement ex-
g ercises and dozens Of handsome |
bouquets Of flowers and presents were
given to the students.
