Seminary The Cyprus Seminary does a great deal in adding attractiveness to our campus and surroundings. There are about one hundred and thirty-five students who attend classes everyday. Mr. Silas Cheney conducts the classes in a very pleas- ing manner. I-le is always interested in all activities of the school and can always be depended upon for good all-round support. We all enjoy having such a inspirational man as Mr. Cheney near us. The students have been one of the most lively groups of students in the school. They presented the comic play, Taming the Wild Man , to several large audiences. They have also held a 'speaking contest. Fifteen minute speeches were given, of which Miss Alice Smith was chosen as having the best, and was awarded a tive dollar gold piece. The students have presented the Seminary with an organ and a large picture. PageS ety e
