MISS BANGS AND MISS WHITON'S
SCHOOL.

One OF the most successful and at
the same time most impressive COM
mencement weeks of any OF the many
schools and colleges in and near New
York city for the graduating classes Of
1915 was that OF the Miss Bangs and
Miss Whiton's Boarding and Day school
for Girls at Riverdale avenue near
252d street. Particularly noteworthy
was the senior play and the delightful
grafton by Agnes Repplier. the we'll
known essayist. The grafton was OF
unusua merit due TO it's spontaneous
wit and rare bits OF timely wisdom.
The commencement exercises brought
to a fitting close the interesting series
of events connected with the graduation
OF the class of 1915. a class TO be re-
memberei as one OF the largest In the
history OF the school. The climax came
in the announcemen OF the winner OF
the beautiful Marguerite Vera Cup
and was won by Katherine 81. Cheron
Monk OF Mobile. Ala. This valued
prize. which Is a yearly graduating fea-
ture. Ii really an exquisite silver vase
on which is inscribed the name of the
pupil who has been judged by both stu
dents and faculty on a secret ballot as
the worthiest because of scholastic dig
nifty, demeanor and uplift. The award
is a unanimous one and II gives Miss
81. Cheron Monk an all around average
in every particular.
Commencement week was ushered in
by the senior play The Masque OF the
Two Strangers" a dramatic ~allegory
by Lady Alix Edgerton. which was well
received by not only the students OF the
current year. but also By the gradu-
ating class OF 1914. which attended
this. their first class reunion In a body.
