A reunion of the former students
of St. Mary's Academy, Jacksonllle,

1 pupils at St. Mary's Academy, Med
i ford, will take place Thursday after

Medford, from 3 to 6. St. Mary's
Academy was founded at Jacksonville
In 1865 and many of the young worn
en who were educated within its walls
live in other cities and distant states
but there Is still a sufficient number
of former pupils of the sisters In
Jacksonville, Medford and vicinity to
make the permanent association of
former students which it is proposed
to organize at the forthcoming re
union a strong and interesting body.
This Is the fiftieth year since the
establishment of the institution and
the proposed organization would
seem a fitting commemoration of the
work of fifty years.

from the gathering is the earnest
hope of her alma mater.

Over two hundred spectators en-
Joyed the demonstration given by the
girls of Ashland high school at the
armory Friday evening. Under the
new physical training department the
high school girls are gaining an In
valuable training which will stand
them in good stead throughout their
lives. The beauty and variety of the
evo'utions and folk dances performed
by the various classes amazed the aul
dlence, who came prepared to sit
through an uninteresting "one, two,
three" dumbbell drill and a march
or so. The program was varied, and
worth while throughout. Contests
and games provided a change from
the drills and gymnastic exercises.
Every girl in the high school thor
oughly enjoys the work, and every
girl showed her enjoyment in the
zestful way the Friday program was
carried out. Too much credit can
not be given to the teachers who
have had charge of the physical train
ing department.

gram was given at the Methodist

cise address upon a few points of in

Professor Ager then spoke upon the
subject of some of the characteris

a success. Mr. Reed presided at the
meeting and in his characteristic way
introduced tho speakers. The pro
gram was heartily enjoyed by the
large audience that had gathered to
