The J rootn was artistically decorated wi'h cvergre* lis, climbing vinos and il ?wei i, : while the art exhibit of the pupils hung 1 on the walls. Much of this art work j was wrought by t he new pupils and was . |.l?e first work from their hands for public inspection. The work was very well . done and did credit, to 1 he young artists and their painstaking teachers. There * was an elaborate music program, some of the selections being very d'tlionlt but j | were handled in a masterly manner. Ths exhibit around which po-?ihly lha mo-e interest, centered was (lie many beautiful ' specimens of ttie batenburg la " wot k.

On Wednesday evening a large crowd was present, to witness the famous drill exercises. It was well executed and the many ditllcult evolutions were gone through without a break and apparently without a loss of a single step. There were thirty-three young ladies in the j ~ drill which began at 9 o'clock and lasted half au hour. Some of their movement < looked like a perfect tangle and all were wondering how they would ever get back to their places, but it was done with perfect ease. The young ladies can certainly give the liest drilled troops some (winters in Held movement, Each young lady wore a long red scarf over her shoulder, and when the line came jto a company front by a deft movement they formed with these scaifs the words "Welcome to you" so quickly and uuexpectly that you could not help wondering liow it was done. "C. F. S." was also made with these searfs, and finally after more drilling a front was formed and these words sprang up in front "Good Night." The girls were the recipients of liberal applauses, and after loitering about the premises and art room lor an hour or more the crowd gradually dispersed feeling that tliey had enjoyed a . very pleasant evening. , When the drill was over the girls, just liefore entc-ing the building, gave their | e college yell, which simply lays all the ^ i boys' college yells we have heard in the , shade, here is as neat as we could get i it. The young ladi'S will pudon us for t } stealing it and forgive us it we make a { j break in trying to reproduce k: "Cliica-lacka, cliin-a lacka, Cliovv, chow, chow; ^ Boom-a-lacka, booiu-a lacka. bow-wowi wow; Who are, who are, who are we?
