A most attractive gathering of
maidens and children from Sacred
Heart Academy demonstrated their
ability to please an audience, last
wednesday night in Grand Opera
house, when a program of the very
best in point of variety and excel
lence was presented at the cont
mencement exercises. In opening
Miss Elizabeth Butts gave a well
considered and well written saluta-
tory with delicate handling and
sweet dignity of manner. Each of
the four young girls work on
two pianos in "Impromptu Valse,"
was fine, and exhibited excellent
training. In "Fleeting Hours" the
Treble Triad sang better than ever.
at least so many of the hearers ex-
pressed themselves after the COM
mencement program.
In violin solo Mildred Roberts
handled difficult selection wonder
fully well considering but a few
months tuition on the instrument.
With "Valse de Concert" a. bril-
liant piano number, Miss Pearl Rob-
ert was given an excellent opportun-
ity to display her splendid talent.
This young woman has made a spec
ialty of piano work during her
studies at Sacred Heart Academy and
is exceptionally musical and talented.
In responding to a vigorous demand
for encore, Miss Robert execut-
ed an arrangement of "Home Sweet
Home for the left hand only, which
showed remarkable technique. In
solo, Mrs Cooper with her charming
voice delighted the audience. Bar
carolle," piano duet was we'll
played by the girls. The program
was greatly enhanced by the intro
duction of "The Ten Virgins" in song
and pantomime. Gowned in filmy
robes of pink, with floating wells and
strands of maline twined in roses,
carrying lighted lamps, five graceful
maids lightly treading with swinging
steps, to the motif in the melody OF
Hearts and Flowers" passed
through the arch of green held by
two angels-to the fair lands beyond
while the foolish virgins still drowsed
in their gala robes all unmindful OF
an opportunity lost When aroused
by the trumpeter announcing the
coming of the bridegroom, they dis
covered their lamps burned out
Here the acting in pantomime to the
accompaniment of singing in the dis
tance of "Too Late Ye Cannot Enter
Here" was most artistic, showing
plainly the lesson taught.
The opening of part second by four
young girls with their violins was en-
Enthusiastically received and encore de-
manded. "a Perfect Day" sung
charmingly by Miss Lola DeLong
whose mellow contralto is a rare
gift, was a joy to her hearers. The
brilliant piano duet that followed
was carried through the entire Sc
lection with rapidity and splendid ex-
ecution. The young women showed
result of long conscientious prac-
tice. Two tiny maids, who hovered
about the three young graduates in
all their appearances on the stage
led the Sacred Heart Academy high
school chorus in marching to theiI
places where they sang beautifully
Memories" with Miss DeLong in
solo parts. An artistic valedictory
delivered in charming manner by
Miss Stella Kinley and interspersed
with soprano solos most beautifully
carried by an invisible singer, was
the effective ending of a program
that gave entire satisfaction to the
large audience on this occasion. II
speaking to the graduates, Reverend
James 3. FitZDatrick, of Portland
gave a SPLENDID address, the fines
that could possibly have been crowd
ed into a short period, Taking fol
his subjects, Know Thyself," Know
Thy Age" and "Know Thy Work.
All who listened to the words will
remember the lesson taught. Diplo
mas, medals and wreaths were con
ferred by Father Moore, being
brought to him on a salver by {
dainty little maid. In all this beau
tiful manner the three graduates gt
from the arms of their alma mateI
into the whirlpool of life with hearts
full of love and kindness and char
acters builded upon strong fodnda
| tion.
