HOLY FAMILY ACADEMY


 The Baltic Academy of the Holy Fam fly closed it's 47th scholastic year with the usual impressive ceremonies We'd nesday.
 At lo.30 o'clock solemn high mass was celebrated at St. Mafy's church, with the pastor, Rev William O'Brien, celebfant; Rev. J. W. Belanger of Hart ford, deacon; Rev. J. Pafadis. volun- town, sub-deacoh, and Rev. A. J. Jal- bert, master of ceremonies.
 The Academy girls choir did them selves and their instructors great credit by their excellent singing during the mass, but no small part of the credit Is due to Miss Nellie Milner, he organist of St. Marys, whose splendid accom-. paniment carried the juvenile choir
 most successfully through theif difficult parts.
 Rev. Joseph H. King of New Milford delivered the sermon, and those who had the pleasure of listening to his inspiring discourse went away feeling that they had listened to sermon Of rare finish and worth.
 Father King compared commencement day to the Polar summer where yester- days sunset is today's sunrise. He told the graduates that the sunset of their
 school days was the sunrise of their life
 out in the world and he cautioned them
 to bring out to the world the qualities | of character and true womanliness which their alma mater had tried Sd
 zealously to imbue them with. Father King told the class that wo-
 men were largely responsible for the l spirit of unrest and discontent prevailing | in the world today. That woman, no,
 content to be the mistress of mans heart and home. went out into the world tc become his antagonist, with the eense. quent lowering of mans ideal of woman hood and the upsetting of the moral or. der that once prevailed.
 The eloquent preacher warned tn, | graduates not to forget that the mora
 standard of the world was just so higi
 as the virtue of it's women.
 The ceremonies concluded with tn,
 eonferring of honors upon the successful
 students by Father OBrien.
 As is usual the day previous to com
 mencement, Father O'Brien, in the pres
 ence of the faculty and entire studen
 body, announced the honors for the yea and distributed the prizes and mino
 awards, at the same time he made strong, urgent appeal to the class abou , to graduate. always to act upon tn principles taught them while at tn , Academy. That they owed 1t to thei alma mater to be in their lives hence ! forth what she had taught by precep but more so, by example. . This closing year has been one of tn 1 most successful in the history of tn school
