enjoyed. Friday evening was the
music recital by Miss Alternately
pupils and each number rendered
both vocal and at the piano
brought hearty applause. Sum
day was the Baccalaureate sermon
preached by Rev. George S.
Watson was heard by a crowded
house. Monday afternoon on
the lawn of the Langdon Memo
rial Campus was presented "Allce
in Wonderland" by the Kinder
garten. primary aud few OF the
grade pupils. This was followed
by few of the chornses from the
Operetta Sylvia, which were re
produced in honor of Mrs. Lang
don, the lady who bv her generous
gift has made possible the present
high standing aud usefulness OF
the Langdon Memorial school.
Monday evening was the Com

as presented was a piano duet,

rendered by Miss Frances Sparks

of Miss Alternately and Mr.. Michel

are by Mt. Vernon people. who
have long since learned to look
forward with great pleasure when
either of them is to sing. The
class address was delivered by the
Rev. w. Frances Irwin, D. d OF

and Power, which was one of
power and wisdom forcibly pres

great inspiration to the large and

but appropriate remarks and the
benediction by DR.. Cheek, brought
