Music Recital and Commence
ment Sermon. Mrs. Brooke
Improving. Ridge Ball
League Organized.

On Friday evening the pupils of
the department of music gave a pub
lie recital and there was large audi
ence preesnt to greet these and to
enjoy their program.
Miss Barr has been the instructor
during the year, and had large
class. The program was varied with
piano duets, solos, quartettes, and sex
tettes, and vocal solos, and each num-
Der was rendered wonderfully well,
and the evening was thoroughly en-
joyed.
The stage was artistically deco
rated and the beautifully dressed lit
tie folks and grown-ups made a very
pretty picture.
Some time ago the Apollo Music
club offered prize to the one max
ing the best average in music, it be-
ing decided to offer this to the first
grade. At the close of the session it
was found that Eloise Edison had
made the best average, and won the
prize.
Following the recital every one
went to the library where the prod
ucts of the manual training
class were exhibited. The young gen.
tlemen had made many attractive
and very useful articles, and should
be very proud of the results of their
work. There would have been ready
sale had these been offered for such.
There were prettily polished cedar
chests, book cases, book racks, hall
seats, stools, tables, pressing boards
and utility boxes, etc. 1t is the in
tention of the class to sell some of the
articles next year.
Prof. Staunton Lott has had the
class under his instruction, and will
again be at the head of this depart
ment.

preached before the graduating class

ing, in the auditorium by Rev. Ho-
raine of Columbia, and there was
large audience, as this was the only

Mr.. Horaine is one of the instruc-
tors in the Lutheran Seminary of Co
lumbia, and is greatly interested in
education, and delivered fine dis
course on that text: "Know ye not
that they which run in a race, run all,
but one receiveth the prize! So run
that ye may obtain" The entire school
was seated in a body in front, and
these young people must have been
source of inspiration to the speaker.
Special music was furnished that was
very pleasing. The ministers of the
town assisted in the services.
The graduating exercises will take
place on Monday evening, there will
be large graduating class and they
