MR. J. OLNEY MANVILLE. UMMER in the midst of its glory promised a happy vacation to the S widely scattered members of our school, and everything seemed at its brightest, when a dark cloud suddenly appeared, shutting out all joy. Mr. J. Olney Manville died at his home in Willoughby, after a short illness. His teaching was an inspiration to his classes, and music lessons were looked forward to with great pleasure. His happy disposition and winning ways seemed to create a desire on the part of every one to do his best. The teachers and pupils at the High School of Commerce have sus- tained an irreparable loss by the death of our friend. 60
