ACADEMY CHIMES. 2 2 effable college girl ” on her return to her country home. The recitation, Youth's Pleading,” by Anna Burke, was a source of pleas- ure as well as of profit. Barbara Hubbell recalled us to our subject by reading “ The Bells of San Bias,” Longfellow's last poem. The incidental music was furnished by Loretta Ford. The program was un- usually good and gave the new pupils a very favorable introduction to the work of the class. Vivat Acadaviia ! A. M. C., ‘98. SECOND QUARTERLY EAArtUSATIOIS. (February sth-gth.)

ACADEMY CHIMES. 21 Dame Rumor, with her thousand tongues, says that the Juniors are pre- paring an Operetta to be produced at an early date. Mamie Francis declares that things are beginning to assume a more couleur de rose aspect since tire much-dreaded examination is over. With her usual good nature Mamie gives us an account of her latest escapade, in a stage whis- per, every morning at 8:30 as she passes to her place in line. Grace, Ollie and Sylvia have a mania for statue-posing during class recita- tions. Be on the alert, girls ! Adele, with her kodak, is watching her chance to “snap” you. She attempted to photograph electricity the other day but the picture failed to materialize. It was a “ negative result.” If Civil Engineering on Surveying were a profession wherein the gentler sex could triumph, why, dear old St. Joseph’s faculty could, at some future time, proudly say : “ This accurate engineer or excellent surveyor is one of our graduates.” For any information in higher' mathematics we give Adele as a referee as she, doubtless, pos- sesses the power of abstraction requisite for apprehending geometrical concep- tions. The Musicate tendered recently by our pupils, notwithstanding that it was quite an impromptu affair, was very artistically carried out. The young pianists did splendidly, playing with an ease and assurance creditable to more advanced performers. A feature worthy of special mention was the “ Miserere ” from Verdi’s II Trovatore, by Barbara Hubbell at the piano, Adele with man- dolin, and Etta Puntenney as guitarist. We hope to be favored again, and soon. A complimentary entertainment was given on the Feast of Our Lady, by the boarders, to the faculty of the Academy. The young ladies appeared to an excel- lent advantage in the different roles, affording, as they did, opportunity for the dis Jkyjng of their varied talents. Misses DeKuHn and Puntenney did “ particularly well ” in impersonating Maggie Donovan and Katie O’Neil, and the abundant applause and warm con- gratulations that followed testified to the pleasure of their teachers. The pro- gram was interspersed by piano solos, the whole forming a pleasing entertain- ment and certainly a delightful surprise. The following was the program : THE CHAMPION OF HER SEX—Drama.

The Literature class spent a few hours with Longfellow on February 15, and though ‘‘the day was cold and dark and dreary ” yet all the more did his spirit hover over us throughout the afternoon. The simplicity, grace and refinement that characterized the poet, were vividly portrayed in the essay, “ Longfellow.” Quotations then were given by the class that stimulated all who listened to “ nobler habitudes of thought and living.” This was followed by the recitation “ Mr. Finney’s Turnip,” from which object it is said that Long- fellow drew inspirations for his first poetical production. “ Maidenhood.” recited by Loretta Ford, and “ Beatrice,” by Louise Camp- bell, were well received, while Adele Hubbell gracefully delivered Morituri Salutamus. Inez Morrison departed a little from the high literary order of the program in depicting, with her usual ease and naturalness, the “ unquenchenably in-
