pronounced a splendid success by
the parents and patrons who wit
messed it. The pupils who partici-
pated seemed especially fitted to the
parts chosen for them. The stage
setting was very appropriate and the
costuming was attractive in every
scene. Mrs. Marain Keyes, teacher
OF the seventh grade, directed the
play, and is to be congratulated for
her efforts and the hearty applause
it received.
Commencement exercises were
held Wednesday evening. The audi
torium was very lovely with decOra-
tiOns of cut flowers. Baskets and
baskets of beautiful roses, peonies.
Canterbury bells, and other flower
gifts for the children occupied the
space in front of the stage and made
pretty foreground below the foot
lights. Rev. N. c. Benson delivered
the invocation. Ruth Jester, saluta-
torian. and Mary Kate Gray as vale
dictOrian were both excellent i'm de-
livering their essays with pOise and
expression. The principal. F. w.
Mick. gave a short talk, giving the

ti0ns. In careful well-chOsen lang /
uage he introduced the speaker of .
the evening, DR.. II. b. King, assist
ant in charge of elementary schools
in Delaware. DR.. King gave the
finest address to the class that it
has been our privilege to hear. Few
men have rendered more outstanding
service to the public schools than
he. and his remarks carried conf
dence. The certificates of promotion
to the ninth grade were presented
by Mrs. G. r. Miller. Jr., member
OF the local board of education. In
her usual charming manner she
c0mpllmented the pupils on their
achievement and left with them a
happy impression and desire to
continue their studies. A very de-
lightful feature of the program was
the piano playing by Miss Margaret
Hart, a former pupil of our school.
She won golden opinions from all
sides and could not fail to delight a
cultivated audience.
On Saturday evening a very pleas
ant gathering was the surprise party
given to Mrs. N. c. Benson in honor
of her birthday. Lovely gifts, flow
ers and cards were assembled TO
greet her on her natal day. De-
