selected from the Sophomore and Freshman Classes. A number of the friends of the school were present and were very interested in the program, which was entertaining and instructive.

A large audience was present to hear the exercises, and were well entertained by the talent of the class. The speakers deserve great credit and their efforts seemed to be greatly appreciated, for each speaker received loud applause from the audience. Bazaar The 3rd Annual Bazaar of the school was held on Saturday, March 13. Although the weatjier was not desirable, a fair-sized crowd made their apj carance in the afternoon and a much larger crowd in the evening. All present pronounced the affair a great success, socially, and it certainly was not less successful, financially. The success of the Bazaar is largely due to the interest which the Alumni and friends take in the school. With more favorable weather conditions and the increasing interest of the people, we hope the next Bazaar will be a still greater success. Historical Essays The reading of the six best Historical Essays of the Senior Class was held on Friday, May 14. Instead of having the essays read in the evening, as has been the custom of previous years, they were read in the afternoon, thus giving every member of the school an opi ortunity of hearing them. 22
