est request of Miss Ball the charges were withdrawn. Upon the whole the convention was a happy thought. It not only made us thor¬ oughly familiar with the Constitution, but it also gave us fine training in debating and extemporaneous speaking. nONDAY MORNING EXERCISES. Among the many pleasant features of our past school year were the exercises which were held every alternate Monday morning, unless Mr. Thomas thought best for that time to be spent in study. We were always well entertained during the forty-five minutes we spent together, and also were very much benefited by what was said. Music, which consisted chiefly of instru¬ mental and vocal solos and duets, was gen¬ erally the first and last part of the program. Most of this kind of entertainment was done by the girls, though some of the boys helped occasionally, and we must give them credit for what they did do. Two persons were prepared each morn¬ ing to tell the current events of the pre¬ vious two weeks, one taking the foreign, the other domestic events. The Freshmen and Sophomores generally had the pleas¬ ure of going to the library every day, and they became quite expert at getting out the news. Dr. Reed gave us a course of lectures on “First Aids to Wounded,” and “Exercise,” for which every one expressed his appre¬ ciation. We all thought it was exceedingly kind of him to take so much interest in our welfare, and it is needless to say that we all were very much benefited by what he told us. In the first two lectures he told what to do in case of asphyxiation, hemorrhages, different kinds of poisoning, and other accidents. In the last one he showed us the necessity of exercise, and told the different ways to take it, such as athletic sports, club swinging, dumb-bell exercise, and walking. Efforts were made to have a gymnasium for the girls, but as there was no room in the school which we could use for that purpose, we satisfied ourselves by walking for exercise. The boys commenced to train for field day and continued until the eventfulf?) day of May 13, 1899. Miss Ball gave us an interesting talk on “Evolution,” Mr. MacNeil on “Botany,” and Miss Sanderson on “Painting.” Of course Mr. Thomas was always in order, and when no one else had prepared a talk for us he spent the time in giving admoni¬ tion and advice. He always spoke on familiar subjects, and his point was never I obscure. THE BACCALAUREATE SERHON. On Sunday evening, June 4th, was in- ! augurated a very pretty custom. At the I Congregational church a Baccalaureate sermon was delivered by Mr. Sargent to the graduates and the school. The sub¬ ject of the address was “Having a Purpose in Life.” He gave some very good advice i and an interesting address. This is a custom which is practiced in all first class schools and colleges and the fact that Petaluma has adopted it, shows her progress toward the front. The man¬ ner in which the sermon was received by the school insures its future. It is a very beautiful custom and we are all glad it has been adopted. A FAREWELL RECEPTION. The evening of June 2nd will long be j remembered by the graduating class. On j that evening they were tendered a recep¬ tion by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas at their home on Seventh street. Although all had a most enjoyable time, there was a tinge of sadness over all, for this was the last fare¬ well of teacher and student. It was the formal parting of those who had been so intimately associated for the last four years. “Farewell; no other word we know, So full of joy, so full of woe. It is the saddest that the heart Can to loved friend or scene impart.”
