Thursday night's ext reises were probably Ine bt*st and most int. re&iing feature of the entire program. The innsieal conceit exceeded the expectations of all, especially when the short time in whicn Miss Harris lias had charge of the class, only four uioiitiis, is taken into consideration. There was a.so a contest bv a class ot girls for a gold medal given l?y Kev. 1{. A. Yotigue. The girls all did remarkably well, Miss Lileeker 1 arts b ing the successful contestant. At the close ? I the coneert and contest, 1'iuf. T. A Salvo favored the audience with several comic recitations and songs, which well* greatly enjoyed. Friday was eoinmeiieement day proper.

In his usual happy style, Mr. Vonoue entertained the crowd for a short time, his theme beiurr lu?w to invest n dollar so as to b;in?j i I I * ? - nit1 iii'-i results. I'rnf. Jackson Hamilton was then called upon by the patrons of the school to make a speech. 11 is remarks were appropriate to the occasion ami were listened to with marked interest by all. At the close of the exercises a handsome rocking el air was presented to Mrs. Edna Fat is Kdwards by Prof. Hamilton on behalf of hot* pupils. During the prt sent at ion Prof. Hamilton alluded to Mis. Fdwards excellent work for the past three years and made some touching remarks as to the parting of the teaclu r and her pil I:i Is.
