A crowded bouse greeted the class of 1911 of St. Francis Academy in the auditorium last Monday evening, to witness the commencement exercises. The class numbered six young la- dies, three of whom. Misses Nellie Ryan, Nora Tomaa and Anna Laden-bur- g, graduated from the academic course, while Miss Ryan, together with Misses Clara Abts and Angelina Shields graduated from the piano class of the music department nnd Miss Margaret Snyder from tbe yio-li- n clas?. The program opened with an en- trance march, played by an ensemble, consisting of Misses Lauretta Jungles and Clara Jonas at one piano and Misses Mabel Reinbard and Antonia Willenbring at another. This was followed by a class song of welcome by the school, and this In turn by a much appreciated piano solo by Miss Augeline Shields. An oration on the subject of "Belles-Lettres- " was then delivered by Miss Anna Laudenburger. She di- vided the subject into three divisions. history, poetry and literature, giving at the same time a brief descriptive il- lustration of each, and making short references to some of the leadig ex- ponents of the several sub-divisio- in which she divided her subject. A piano solo by Miss Nellie Ryan was the next number and it was well rendered and enthusiastically received by the audience. "Successful Failures" was the sub ject of an oration by Miss Nora Thomas. She deplored the methods of some people in their scramble for wealth, which was used to no good purpose, and which added nothing to tbe things which were worth while to its possessors. She also referred to some of the people which the world has called great for the time being. but when put to the test were found to be sadly lacking. On the other hand, she also made references to some people who went about doing good in a quiet, unobtrusive way, and while the world called them failures it was because the world did not know of the good deeds done by them. The next number, a violin selection by Miss Margaret Snyder, showed well the training received. andalao that the young lady possesses consid- erable talent in handling ber chosen instrument. Following this was an other class song, a tribute to "Our Flag," and a piano solo, by Miss Clara Abts, each of which received hearty and merited applause. The next and last number on the program was the valedictory oration, which was delivered by Miss Nellie Ryan. This oration is printed in full in another column. We wish we were able to present each of the orations at length to our readers, but this would be impossible at this time. Those who were fortun- ate enough to be present and to hear them, however, know that each of the young ladies in the class, whether in oratory or music, acquitted themselves in such a manner as to reflect great credit not only upon themselves, but also in the magnificent institution of which they are now alumni. Following the regular program, Father MarceHlnus appeared on the rostrum and made a few remarks ap- propriate to the occasion and of ad- vice to the young ladies who were about to leave the school and enter actively into a broader field. He then delivered the diplomas and medals to the graduates, and made the an- nouncements of the pupils in the school who had passed from their respective grades to he next higher, presenting each with a medal and a certificate of promotion. After this had been done, the grad- uates and their parents repaired to the spacious dining hall of the Acad emy, where a sumptuous repast had been prepared In their honor. The tables were tastily decorated with fo- liage and candles were placed at each plate In the center of the table was placed a large mirror, representing the sea of life, on which the guests of honor were embarking, while small gondolas represented the ships in which they were to set sail. The alumni of the Academy have never organized into an association as such, although each year at com- mencement a considerable number of the graduates of former years are present to extend welcome to the new members. The-Sister- s in charge an nounce that it is their purpose to or- ganize an alumni association within the next year, and such an organiza- tion cannot but stimulate and keep alive among its members the memo- ries of the most pleasant period of their lives the days of the sweet and innocent associations of childhood and youth.

At the end of the sev- enth the score book showed 8-- 3 In Central's favor. Then the bakxm started and Columbus commenced to crawl, not on errors but hits.

8T. FRANCIS COMMENCEMENT.A crowded bouse greeted the class

of 1911 of St. Francis Academy in theauditorium last Monday evening, towitness the commencement exercises.

The class numbered six young la-

dies, three of whom. Misses NellieRyan, Nora Tomaa and Anna Laden-bur- g,

graduated from the academiccourse, while Miss Ryan, togetherwith Misses Clara Abts and AngelinaShields graduated from the pianoclass of the music department nndMiss Margaret Snyder from tbe yio-li- n

clas?.The program opened with an en-

trance march, played by an ensemble,consisting of Misses Lauretta Junglesand Clara Jonas at one piano andMisses Mabel Reinbard and AntoniaWillenbring at another. This wasfollowed by a class song of welcomeby the school, and this In turn by amuch appreciated piano solo by MissAugeline Shields.

An oration on the subject of"Belles-Lettres- " was then deliveredby Miss Anna Laudenburger. She di-

vided the subject into three divisions.history, poetry and literature, givingat the same time a brief descriptive il-

lustration of each, and making shortreferences to some of the leadig ex-

ponents of the several sub-divisio- inwhich she divided her subject.

A piano solo by Miss Nellie Ryanwas the next number and it was wellrendered and enthusiastically receivedby the audience.

"Successful Failures" was the subject of an oration by Miss NoraThomas. She deplored the methodsof some people in their scramble forwealth, which was used to no goodpurpose, and which added nothing totbe things which were worth while toits possessors. She also referred tosome of the people which the worldhas called great for the time being.but when put to the test were foundto be sadly lacking. On the otherhand, she also made references tosome people who went about doinggood in a quiet, unobtrusive way, andwhile the world called them failuresit was because the world did not knowof the good deeds done by them.

The next number, a violin selectionby Miss Margaret Snyder, showedwell the training received. andalaothat the young lady possesses consid-erable talent in handling ber choseninstrument. Following this was another class song, a tribute to "OurFlag," and a piano solo, by Miss ClaraAbts, each of which received heartyand merited applause.

The next and last number on theprogram was the valedictory oration,which was delivered by Miss NellieRyan. This oration is printed in fullin another column.

We wish we were able to presenteach of the orations at length to ourreaders, but this would be impossibleat this time. Those who were fortun-ate enough to be present and to hearthem, however, know that each of theyoung ladies in the class, whether inoratory or music, acquitted themselvesin such a manner as to reflect greatcredit not only upon themselves, butalso in the magnificent institution ofwhich they are now alumni.

Following the regular program,Father MarceHlnus appeared on therostrum and made a few remarks ap-

propriate to the occasion and of ad-

vice to the young ladies who wereabout to leave the school and enteractively into a broader field. He thendelivered the diplomas and medals tothe graduates, and made the an-

nouncements of the pupils in theschool who had passed from theirrespective grades to he next higher,presenting each with a medal and acertificate of promotion.

After this had been done, the grad-
