ed for standing room last evening
when the friends of the institution
gathered for the closing exercises or
the private pupils in Expression. The
program was really Il test of the
wears class-work and the manner IN

to expectation proved that they had
applied themselves diligently to their
art through long months of hard
work. The single recitations and read
ings by Misses Nancy and Caroline
Wattles, Agnes Donaldson, Gladys
Graves and Kathryn Henderson COW
ering work in the junior course Of en-
preston showed the steady improve
ment that later leads to work in dra-
matte art. The more advanced pupils
Misses Julia Duncan, Florence Evans,
Emma Hubbard and Evelyn Howard
depicted three scenes from Barrett S
"Sign of the Cross" in mannerl
strongly suggestive of professionals.
In several instances the silent antlci-
patton of the audience testified to the
perfection of the dramatic pauses and

numbers of the program were render
ed by Misses Josephine and Elizabeth
Ramage. Rosella Burke. Arbutus

ces Franey, Josephine Ramage,
