Ibe concert glten by the pupils oi
tbe Hood Hirer bitlb School at the
opera bouse last Wednesday ibowed
tbe large audience that tbe City of
Apples waa also a city of singers and
musicians. Krery time tbe pupils cf
the bigb aobool gave a conceit Hi suc
cess beforehand can be assured, for
the tuleat iu Hood Klver Is just a lit
tle bit ahead of any other place
Tbe first number on tbe program,
"Kstudiautiua," sun by lllteeu ot
the prettiest aud i wee tent gingers la
Hood Hirer, waa well enjoyed and
the girl weie eucored and responded
very gracefully by aiugiug a cbainiiug
little lore song.
Victor Nutley ia certaiuly taking
tbe right steps la advancing ia manic.
His compoMitiou cf big owo writing
was one which required ieut skill to
compose, beHhies the skill It took to
execute it properly. Victor'! tech
uique is peifeot and his time excel
lent. 'Ibe next number, a reel tat Ion by
Mins Helen Orr, wus well rendered.
Helen is a girl of great utility and
one ot ber many talents is that of
elocution.
Next came a mimia game of foot
ball, the team coming out on tbe
etage and going through the various
erolutlouH cf the game as though iu
actual play, and was very amusing.
The gHtUB ot bauttball, however, was
mucb more realistic aud very tuuuy.
'I ho mimic game seemed so real that
you "ould utmost fee tbe imaginary
ball as it putted around the diamond,
while the contortions of tbe pitcber
weie quite iu form. At tbe end of
tbe guinea the class yells were given
with vigor, and it wa no deaf and
dumb ulluir, either.
The Hfth mini bet, a violin solo play
ed very beautifully by Leila liadford,
simply chaimed tbe musio lovers In
tbe audience by her exquisite render
ing of that old dear piece, "Home,
Sweet Home."
In tbe next number Miss Albetta
Jackson showed Hood Hirer again
that her voice bad not lost any of Its
sweelueas by tbti work of tbe examin.
aUous. Miss Alberta's taaie as a
singer is aliendy msde for ber and
euch time iier u .i mo is on tbe ptcgiom
tbe audience ccugiatulates Itself.
lihteo HroeitiH bus tho huppy facuily
of Hinging iu such a pleusiug manner
Unit few boys can. His interpretation
of bis song Bbowed great study and
could only hare been made by a good
voloe.
Florence lluuua sang very prettily
"The lllrds go North Again" tor tbe
tenth number of tbe program.
Miss Ada Mark's recitation of
"llHgar" was well appreciated by tbe
tragio loving people in tho audience.
Miss Mark has a pleasing voice and
bus it in well tiaining.
ihe debate eutitled, "Resolved,
That all liaohelors Should be Taxed,"
was prefaoed by a few rcmnrks by
Prof. Coad, who appointed as judges
Dr. A. II. Latbrop, E. U. Hartwig
aud A D. Moe Ijeland Korerlrjge
had tbe Bdirmative und Uurleigb Cash
tbe iitgittite. A surprise was lu store,
however. Leland lieveridge led off
witb a spirited argument apparently,
but need only the letters of tbe alpha
bet to maintain it. Hit opponent
used liumeiala us bis figure of speech.
Ihe tone of voice, gestures, etc, ot
tho debaters wer. quite iu form and
alforded much amusement to the au
dience, 'lbu judges retired to make
tbeir decision, but were unable to
agree and voted to call it a tie.
the lust number ot the program was
dainty little song by tbe (J Iris' like
Club entitled, "Tbe Ounce of tbe
I'uirie.'i," tiung rery charmingly, and
sent tbe people home bappy.
Class Sight.
Tbo graduation exercises Thursday
night fulfilled tbe expectations of tbe
aiiiiieucti in every respect. Every
thing went off tine end the large audi
ence Imd gruit leaton to be proud of
the Ktshool and it tuleLted piiuiis.
I lie nrat oil tne pri gram was a
piano solo by Mie Jenuie Edgiugton
mil whh well executed.
Mis Lena Ivonbeig ehronicled the
"Clan llittoty." Khe gave the indl
vidiml history ot esob student up to
the time ot graduation, aud it was
well done.
The elites p'opheoy, written by Kntb
Wood, vva just as amusing as they ul
ways are, sini this wss especially in
teresting.
In the class will Clyde Pattee willed
hII the old thine snob as nursing bot
tles, etc., to the coming cl;i.-ot, as
the graduates bad no further use for
thorn.
Ellen Trelber gave a splendid ora
tion on "In Uoil we Trust, or Hold,"
making special emphasis on tbe fuel
that we Mere driftiug Bway Imm the
old motto and were now putting our
trust Id gold Instead ot Uod and end
ed witb a plea for the nation to r
turn to tbe old niotio.
Mitt Lei lii llerthuer gave in her
usunl i h;ruiii ay a petty Bong for
tne next mimner
"Tbe Mhi Iftioin of tbe Nation'
wai llurleigh Ch;1i'h subject for tbe
excellent oration which ho deliver oi
He compared V.'hI. gtret with the
muelstrom and n euliotud Ibe fever
of gMinbliug that had swept over the
United States. He traced the Influ
ence ot tbe gambling spitit upon tbe
nation and unlet this gteat evil in
our national life was checked or re
modeled our economio wealth would
be sucked down luto tbe vortex ot
this maelstiom Into the colters ot
prince of privilege tbe Wall stieet
stock gamblers.
ihi class poem, wiitten and lead by
Franoes Bragg, abowed great thought
and careful preparation, for it was
excellent.
Tbe next number was a One oration
by Leland lieveridge. entitled "West
ward, Krei Westwaid. " Ue apoke of
tbe personal courage shown and the
sacridca endured by our forefathers
to make this country what it ia today,
and emphasized the fact tbat we were
reaping tbe benetlti trow theli labors
and not ours. 11a also quoted Lin
coln's famous statement tbat our gov
ernment was a goreromeut ot tbe
people and fur the people, but that
we were taking tbe wrong interpreta
tion and weie reading It, "a govern
ment for the people's iuterests, as a
means to an end."
Tbe class song sung by the graduat
ing olass, tbe words of which were
witteo by Leland lieveridge and set to
music by Jennie Edgiogton, closed
tbe excellent program.
