ment exercises of St. Vincent's In
stitute, conducted by the Sisters of
Charity, were held at the Grand
Theatre Wednesday forenoon in the
presence of a brilliant assemblage.
The program arranged for the occa'
sion was an unusually interesting and
pleasing one, and the manner in
which the various features We're rem
dered bespoke a notable degree of
talent on the part of the students
who took part, and much careful pre-
paration and training by their pains
taking and conscientious preceptors.
The order of the exercises was as
follows:
Piano solo, "The Song of the
Alps" Miss Enola Fernandez.
| Chorus, ''Welcome," vocal class.
Salutatory, "Retrospection,' Miss
Bernadette Mattingly.
Awarding of diplomas and medals,
Rev. V. M. Scramuzza.
Chorus, "a Cure for the Rlues," lit.
tie girls.
Recitation, "Papa's Letter." fourth
and fifth grades.
Piano solo, "Salut A Pesth," Miss
Leona Maurin
Recitation, Voices from the School

Chorus, "Hurrah for a Holiday

rim.

Chorus, tRainbows," vocal class.
Valedictory, Through Trials to
Triumph" Miss Enola Fernandez.
Address to graduates, Rev. V. M.
Scramuzza.
Good Bye, Sweet Day. vocal
class.
In testimony of having completed
the course of study prescribed by the
institution, diplomas and gold medals
were awarded to Misses Enola NJ.
Fernandez, Bernadette L. Mattingly
and Leona NJ. Maurin. These young
ladies have graciously sacrificed their
medals, earned after several years Of
patient study and faithful applica-
ton, to the purchase of a gold
chalice, an offering to the chapel of
their alma mater in memory of their
dearly beloved Sister Clotilda, who
was for more than fifty years at the
head of the Institute. The generous
remuneration of these coveted trophies
is an act which reflects honor apd
credit upon the sweet young grad
yates, and attests the nobility of the
principles instilled into them by the
gentle Sisters comprising the faculty
of the worthy institution.
The address to the graduates by
Rev. V. M. Scramuzza was a most
enjoyable feature of the program, and
ELECTED a spontaneous expression of
appreciation from the large audience
in the shape of enthusiastic applause.
A more eloquent or inspiring dis
course has never been heard on a
similar occasion in this city, and the
many beautiful thoughts expressed in
such chaste language by the gifted
young prelate will long linger in the
memory of all his hearers. Father
Scramuzza was formerly one of the
assistant priests at the local Catho-
lie church, but is now stationed in
New Orleans, where he is greatly be-
loved by his parishioners.
