The chorouses were good and all seemed to put heart and soul into | their work as the realization was | borne home to them that 1t was sister 1 Leontine's Jubilee they were ee elebrat- Ing. A wand drill was feature that received exceptional praise and was ] fine. The jubilee fevels of the younger pupils was also good. Mystical gifts, was an enigma to the audience until 1t was presented. II was most pleas ing. The spirits of Music, Poetry, Prayer, Gratitude and Flowers met in dell, All on their way to Notre Dame Academy where a Jubilee was to be celebrated. Each had some word of fering to present to Sister Leontine the honored guest Of the jubilee. A guar dian angel entered and conducted them on their way.
