Ursuline College Commencement.

Last Tuesday | had the pleasure of
attending the closing Exercises of Ar
cadla College for 1919. They were held
the one destroyed by fire over two
years ago. The big room was filled
with parents OF the pupils and friends
TO the institution which is a source OF
pride to Arcadia Valley. The programme
OF music-vocal and instrumental-essay,
recitations, ETC., delightedus all. Some
times such entertainments bring a sigh of
relief with their close; but not so in this
instance. Every number was good, and
it was not merely %perfunCtory applause
which responded to their rendition. For
myself it was an hour OF enjoyment that
comes all too rarely these latter days.
Happy youth and ~springing life greeted
the sight; who can conceive of him whose
heart did not beat a feIvent prayer for
the happiness and welfare OF those about
trial and vicissitude?
Among the clergy from parishes far
and near, it was my good fortune to
meet again Fathers Huber and Adrian,
both held in cherished remembrance in
the Valley and School that in other days
knew their presence. May every bless
ing attend them in their chosen line of
duty!
