Very Rev. r. H. Smith, S. NJ,
president of jefferson College, Con-
vent, La, has just returned from the
educational convention at St. Paul
and was the guest of Very Rev. T. ].
Larkin,' S. NJ, at the Holy Name rec
tory Sunday, the 25th. Father Smith
also went as far as Salt Lake, Utah,
on business for the -Marist Order. Fa'
Their Smith, after a few days at the
college, will return to Algiers to look
after the several prospective students
for the coming year. The two ses-
sions just ended have been two very
successful periods in the college work.
Considering the hard times, the num-
Der of students was as large as usual,
and the studies were up to the high
standard well known to all Jefferson
graduates.
Algiers has every reason to be as
proud of the success Of Alvin McGiv-
ney as the college is of him. Master
Mckinney by his close application to
his studies and with abundance Of
natural talent easily led his class and
finished the year with honors. He was
especially strong in English litera-
ture, taking all the prizes in this diff
ficult branch of academic studies. A
bright future awaits this young man
If he will only continue to apply him
self and keep before himself the high
ideals of learning he is at present
aiming at.
William Whitmore, another student
from Algiers at the college, also made
a very creditable showing in his stud
les. Williams speciality is music. He
indeed has made a success of that
Under the able direction of Prof. Cart
wright, he has developed into a very
capable pianist. He was accompanist
in the college orchestra and at this
work he was perfectly at home and
absolutely reliable. William is filled
with the Algiers spirit, and hence he
would not be satisfied with playing
other peoples music, and so COM
posed some of his own. His college
Rag" although a first attempt, was
praised by his professor and enjoyed
by his fellow-students. He has now
put in his application to join the H.
N. G.. c., where his musical talent
will be utilized In the new musical de-
partment, which will soon be opened
In that club.
Rev. Father Seller. s. NJ. of Jeffer.
son College, was visitor at the Holy
Name rectory this week. He was in
AS treasurer, he has very little rest,
even during vacation time, for prepar-
ations for the coming year must then
be made. He feels that the coming
year will be one of the best years in
the annals of the college.
Rev. Father Hagerty, S. j., of Grand
Coteau College. was also a visitor at
the rectory as the guest of Father
Larkin. Father Hagerty is a brother
of Rev. Sister Xavier, of the Parochial
School. Both are devoted to each
other and day spent together is one
OF the joys of their lives.
The Sisters of the school have now
nearly all returned from their short
sojourn at Long Beach, where they
tried to enjoy themselves In spite of
the mosquitoes. Notwithstanding this
Inconvenience. the change has done
them good. Their friends regret that
their vacation was not longer or more
enjoyable. for, rest or no rest, ten
months Of hard work loom up before
them, and, as usual, they viii do their
work thoroughly and cheerfully. The
prospects for the coming year seem
good at the school.
