In truth, a most fine entertainment. March 25- To a very charming program put on this evening by the music club. Did enjoy it Without any alloy, knowing that there would be no schooleto quote Macbethetttomorrow and tomorrow and to- morrow? Verily the prospect of Easter Vacation makes music even fairer. April 15e This day did hear debate between Troy and Ilion in National Forensic League contest. Did bemoan the fact that I could not be three places at once, for in hearing this argument I did miss two others at the same time in different rooms. Alack! To take full advantage of the present educational system one needs must be triplets. April 16- This evening to speaking contest at Skidmore. Did rejoice to see J oan Davenport carry away a large silver cup. Am perplexed by the queryettls Miss Davenport the only one who may drink from this cup ?ii Should like, myself, to quaff from its bounteous depths, provided, of course, they Contain no Vile potion.
