Prof. Carson stated at the close,
that the session had been pleasant
and profitable all the way through.
There had been no trouble or friction
between teachers, or between teach
ers and pupils during the year, and
both pupils, teachers and patrons had
cause for gratitude, and every reason
for encouragement.
There was very large owd pres
ent, but no one seemed to be wearied
by the long program. Those who took
part were the recipients of handsome
boquets of flowers, and other appro-
pirate gifts.
Special medals and honors were
won and awarded, as follows:
For highest grade in first year
latin, a gold medal, Anita Gillespie.

In Miss Mays Expression Glass,
medal was won by Katie Hall. Every
pupil who appeared on the stage knew
his work. There was not single
hesitation or need at any time, of a
word or look from the prompter, if
there was one around. The remark
was made, "they are on to their
jobs" The patrons and teachers felt
pardonable pride in the pupils and
their performances.
The medals were delivered by j.
Powell Royal and C. r. Brown, in
their usual happy styles. The stage
was beautifully and profusely deco.
rated for the occasion. All that was
lacking to make everything jus

breeezs. There was"h hot ARIA plenty.
