JInnual Banquet
The annual entertainment and banquet
given last Tuesday evening in the gym- ,
nasium by the sargeants and other officers
of the school was an event that will long be
remembered by all who were present, and
ranks first among the society events of the
season. No detail that added to the com
fort and enjoyment of ihe evening was too
small to be overlooked by the boys. The ball
was beautifully decorated with festoons ot
ferns and evergreen, with a sprinkling of
dainty flowers that filled the room with
their tragi ant odor.
The entire program for the evening was
interesting and well carried out. Mr.
Cooper's recital ' of "How Ruby Played"
was a pleasant surprise to his friends and
received the commendation of all present.
His elocutionary effort proved that he pos
sesses no mean ability in that line. The
piano duet by Jessie Symington and Em
ma Williams, was well received aud givea
a hearty . encore; Jessie Cook's solo was
also very good, aud came in for a big share
of the applause. That the music furnished
by the hand was good, goes without say
ing. The toasts responded to by Thos.
Downie and Eugene Geffe were exception
ally good and we are sorry that the lack of

monthly entertainment.
The regular monthly entertainment
given by the pupils of the school lant
night was a decided success. Each of
these entertainments in their turn seem to
be better than the one given the month
previous, and show a gradual improve
inent in the pupils. The . program was
good from beginning to end.
The little drama, "A business meeting,"
by the pupils of the mixed grade was ex
ceptionally well carried out. "A young
Lady in Church," by Bessie Williams, was
highly praised by the audience, as waialso
"A Boy from Town," by Philip Sorahini.
In fact, to make a special mentioning of
the deserving numbers would be to giro
the program in full and much credit is due
to Miss Dohse, who had the affair In
charge, for the success of tbe evening.
