to you i'm connection with the estab-

sion Of halls for services, and all SINH
lar matters calling for relations with

Being already the official represen-
tative of the American Hierarchy for

ties for rendering aid in the great
emergency that is now upon us are
large indeed.

precision which showed careful train
ing and attention to details. The mill
tary drill by twelve boys armed with
rifles, and under the command of Lieu

was laid in southern mansion, and
each of the members of the cast gave
splendid Interpretation of the part as

enter into the spirit of the play that
one could scarcely believe they were
amateurs, it being their first appear
ance on the stage. The voice, gesture
and dramatic poise showed evidence of
the thorough training received from
the Sisters of st. Joseph who have
charge of the school. Miss Elsie NJ
