TUEsDAY.--P Perhaps the most inter-
esting and mirthful Of the whole weeks
proceedings took place on Tuesday
night when the Glass Day exercises
were held, toe program Of which APP
peared in our last issue. The reading
Of the Glass Poem. History, Prophecy
and Will were listened to with eager
ears and intense interest by all and the
participants kept their audience in one
continuous happy vein until the curtain
dropped. Tie doings of the Glass Of
1918 as brought out in these papers
proved most interesting and enjoyable
The solo rendered by Miss Eliza Cough,
received the well merited applause that
was given her. The sketch entitled the
faculty in which each member OF the
faculty was represented by the
graduating class wss easily the
chief center OF interest in the program
and SO well did the students represent
their preceptprs that had their voices
been heard behind drawn curtains one
would have imagined that there was in
reality faculty meeting taking place.
The Young lady vino represented the
member of the faculty who wears q
beard must be especially comms uled
since she so wei and truthfuliy r. pre-.
sented him. Her actions brought fortn
continued laughter and applause es-
pecialiy among the students as the
beared was frequently stroked. Roger
owen, the bad boy brought before the
faculty for misconduct played his role
in true boyish style aud bestowed upon
himself much rrafse for his excellent
representation of the character.
Following the closing Of the program
the visitors were invited to the Manual
Training Exhibit. The work in this
course reflects much credit on the
school, being Of the highest order and
most excellent.
