week. The commencement Of

two teas, beside the regular

be as warm as some of this week,
the moving to the shore will be
eagerly awaited. Just now there
is hardly time for reflection up
on the enjoyable things that are
going on around us. But when
school is over, commencements
have passed, town folks have sep
arated, then, perhaps, there will
be remembrances of happy days
gone forever, but leaving pleas
ant glow of memories.

This evening the music class
Of Mr.. Miller will give its an
