BELFAST


in fact the last day of the school
year in the grade schools Of Belfast,
Friday, and decked in their Sunday
best, their crisp muslin frocks, pink
and blue ribbons, the little girls were
too dainty for words, while the boys
took special pains with their toilets
for the occasion. The most elaborate
program for the day was that given
at the Mcclellan school, Miss Grace
Walton, principal, where, with the
assistance of the other teachers in
the building. a lawn party was held,
the browning event being the wind
ing of the May pole.
There were over a hundred WISH
tors, many of them the relatives of
the children and the afternoon was
just perfect, a little cloudy but no
rain and the sun screened by the
clouds was even better than a bright
sun. The program included the sa-
lutte to the flag by each grade as it
came forth to take part in the exer-
cises md the other numbers had the
flag for the keynote.
The opera Pepita, which Belfast
amateurs presented some years ago
with Miss Katherine Chase Quimby,
now Mrs. Harold II. Hollingshead of
Brazil, South America, in the title
role, and which was written by a
former Belfast man, Augustus Car
men Knight, now of Winter Hill,
Mass, is to be published by the Oliver
Ditson Company, in the full score.
This bright little opera of the Next
can border was written about 16
years ago and has been presented
by amateurs in several Maine cities,
the most recent Lewiston, where it
was given a few months ago by the
high school students, under the dir
cction OF Supervisor of Music FL
bridge S. Pitcher, formerly Of Bel
fast, who took part in the Belfast
production.
Mr.. Knight, the composer, is
talented pianist and organist, also
