The occasion was one to make the heart-leap with pleasure and anticipation. There were bevies of pretty girls clad in snowy white, a number of fine looking boys and terrace upon terrace of beautiful flowers. From the cur tain in trout hung each class mot to, the one in green the other in pink representing the class colors. Bach grade arranged in semi-cir cular form occupied the stage so the foot lights shone full upon them. - The evening: was warm : the house was crowded ; pleasure was written upon every counte nance and the atmospnere was heavy with the perfume of the many flowers. The different numbers on the program were of a high uniform grade showing careful painstak ing preparation.
