John II. Boyd proved a most en-
tertaining speaker and his address,
while carrying through ii a vein Of
humor, was very thoughtful and
his earnest words profoundly inn

which was an especially fine rem
dering Of one of Mozarts sonatas.

formed their functions faithfully
md well. the results of the High
would not have been so promising
These most important minor grades

resided at the piano was perfect in r
