Show St. Mary's Academy Notes. Genuine patriotism among St. Mary's students had its enthusiastic interpretation interpre-tation on the occasion of the centennial of the birth of Lincoln, when the members mem-bers of the first preparatory class appeared ap-peared before the footlights "in a pleasing pleas-ing program illustrative of the life of Lincoln, the stateman. the emancipator. the martyr-president. His diplomacy, his executive ability, his statesmanship, statesman-ship, his altruism, were reviewed by the class in their true perspective. "Tenting on the Old Camp Ground," "Battle Hymn of the Republic," "Maryland, My Maryland" and "Dixie" were rendered ren-dered by the class. The beauty of the permanent stage settings was further enhanced by the artistic decoration with flags, shields and buntings displaying dis-playing the national colors. The center of attraction, however, was the miniature minia-ture cabin, an exact fac simile of the one in which Lincoln was born, surmounted sur-mounted by the picture of the hero draped in the stars and stripes, around which the class was grouped, forming a crescent. (The programs were artistically artistic-ally designed by the local artist and were fastened with ribons of red, white and blue. After the entertainment the nartieinants filed into their snacious classroom, where a treat of ice cream, cake and chocolates awaited them.- In the afternoon of Friday, the 12th, the members of the second senior class, entertained the graduates, first seniors and commercial graduates at a card party in the library of the academy, which was decorated brilliantly. The color scheme was red. Miss Katie Chip-man Chip-man acted as guest-mistress. The guests were required to appear in costume cos-tume suggestive of some song or instrumental in-strumental piece of music. Refresh ments were served, during which delightful de-lightful music was furnished by members mem-bers of the choir. Altogether, the hours from 3 to 6 were spent most pleasantly. pleasant-ly. Invitations, printed in colonial style, have been issuWl by the first senior class, as follows: "Ye First Senior Classe. of : St. Mary's Academic Begge the favor of your com panic At ye Colonial Reception in honour of ye graduates and Second Seniors, Monday, ye t wen tie second of Februarie Nine hundred and nine, from two until four At ye St. Mary's Academic." On St. Valentine's day some of the champion prevaricators were noted for a certain hesitancy in opening envelopes envel-opes addressed to them.' The sender of "I'm a match for you!" has realized that such messages are of the boomerang boome-rang variety. We are also authorized to state that the recipient of that advertisement ad-vertisement of valuable property labelled la-belled "A heart to let" is now in search of it, and ready to move in. |
