The valedictory was divided into

“Triumphant," delivered, respectively,
by Miss Margie I.. Bavierof New York,

which were as follows:
LA BO RARE.
If there is ever a day in a girl's edu
cation w hen she arrives at the conv ic
tion that de|teudence for her is past —
that womanly res|tonsibiiUy is her fu
ture |x>rtiou, that she must take her
self now for Ivelter or for w orse, to meet
the cold inditterence of an unsympa
llti/ing world. This day is surely t»rn
dnatinn Day.
Throughout tJie happy Meeting years
of school life, we are (irmly convinced
that the world is full of goodness, but
today the realilv stares us in tIre face
as never before—that from out of the
granary of its far-reaching plenitude
no kernel of nourishing corn can come
to tis tin! the toil bestowed on the plot
of ground l’rov idence has destined each
of us to till.
But this idea of toil, however, is not
so depressing to pupils who have been
taught so forcible the perennial noble
ness and even sacredness of work,when
undertaken for the glory of Clod, for
the lietterment of man, and for llie
sanctiMention and happiness of self.
(>ur high school oontae, today com
pleted, has liecn a time of such lats>r.
Alma Mater, the gentle but tlrm ta-k
mistress. as an intellectual, ethical and
spiritual teacher, has been to each one
of us what the sun and showers are to
the seed. Shelias developed, expand
ed, unfolded every latent tendency for
good, whether that good, la- a power ol
brain or heart or will, indeed, the very
lives of those teachers so endeared to
us, are, without further precept, ail
abiding stimulus toward purity ol
thought, holiness of purpose and zeal
for fruitful acts.
How grateful we should feel today,
crow ned vv ilh the glory of work accom
plished Isith to Alma Mater, who has
so unsparingly taught us, and to fond
parents who have, at so many priva
tions, secured for us her teaching.
Words are wasted in trying to frame
the sincerity and depth of our flliul
gratitude, but our motto suggests the
hidden fountains of our life resolve,
namely to “ Labor and to pray" in their
interest ever.
ORAKK.
An artist monk of old, when asked
to iM.->|ueath to posterity th® secret of
hi* sanctity, took up attain the brush
of fame, ami with a genius goaded on
by the priceless spur of love, lie imaged
on his canvas the fair form of a little
child.
He portrays her first lesson at the
hard 1‘ench of the school-rooms. Her
features contract with tug anti toil, as
she outlines on Hie slate Indore her,
with awkward lint resolute lingers, a
long line of |>oorly formed ey pliers.
With feverish, timid expectancy her
eyes look askance from their large blue
depths, but only to meet the reproach
ful disapproval of her critical instruc
tor. When, lol at tier side, from out
of a cloud of angelic brightness, ap
pears her guardian angel.
Reassuringly he smiles while tracing
a magic line of gold before the worth
less zeros, and instantly the childhood
characters are transformed into a sum
of inestimable value.
At the hard bench of study we, too,
have tugged during these formative
years of knowledge-seeking: but, day
by day, our teachers the guardian an
gel* of our life at school, have whis
pered to our lagging spirits the refresh
ing influence of prayer.
“Orare” has been our motto from the
beginning, and today we feel, as we
stand here triumphant, it is the line
w rought in with gold that has made
this prize of graduation worth the la
bor.
TKIIMPHARK.
“The world may sound no trumpets,
ring no bells,
Rut heart and voice and melody our
joy ous motto -wells.
For triumph, the keynote of all this
gladness, thrills us today w ith the long
sought delights of graduation glory.
Nflr i' it now aione, while the echo of
it- ring still linger- in oar ear-, that
Uii* initial victory sways us, but the
ever-widening circle of its joy* w ill >te
w ith u». down the years, a* a per|wtual
reminder of labor's unfailing fruits—
the happy crowning. To Alma Mater,
t,nj, the palm of triumph . through
the gate* of her sanctuary she sends u»
foriii c> mini—mired to dispense to the
worl i in which we move, the wealth
of her wisdom, the culture of her re
finement and the strength of her ii*e
gi'.mg faith.
Meanwhile weeongratulateourselvea,
for our caiuw to rejoice U three-fold
t>ur t'onvent training has secured us
an education in which faith and Intelli
gence hariuoniou-sly blend. We lia\e
learned to rcaliae that the dignity of
life is ttdelitv to duty, the wisdom of
life, a deep spiritual Insight, and the
glory of life, a personal loyalty to Jesus
I'hrtst and his teachings.
The full program as given iielow was
successfully carried through, and each
number was heartily applauded, amt
“ Faith Trluni|»hnnt" was reja-ated.
The eyes of fond |>areiils seemed to gtv e
inspiration to the participants. They
sang in excellent voice, and never was
lilt Cantata seen and heard to belter
adv an l age.
After the close of the program Itishop
Tierney addressed tire graduates in part
as follows:
"I congratulate you for many rea
sons. First, because of your own sue
cess, for you have labored hard ami
faithfully. We have heard of it from
your good teachers, and your success
ful exercises today also denote it. I
Congratulate you in having such good
parents, who look to your ( hrtstianed
ucation, to your happiness and success
in tlic world. They exjieel many things
of you—you little know how many—
and you must endeavor to realise their
ideals. II is not so much w hat you say
ns w hat you do in tile world. Itealizc
you have duties to perform. Perforin
them faithfully and success and happi
ness are sure to follow.
“You came here, possibly, well In
structed, bid you leave here even iielter
instructed ami titted for the vicissitudes
t ife's bailie. I hope you will have
l.ves of happiness and future useful
nes- |k>your duty and hnpplnes wll
follow. ~
“I congratulate you in having had
such good teachers, and 1 congratulate
them upon the good work they are do
ing, and hope their lives may be even
more useful. I hope you may all have
happy vacations. I hid you god

Kev. F. I». Sargent, pastor of the
I church, spoke on '■ Life's Visions,” ta
king hls.text from 2 King vl, 17,“Lord,
I pray thee, open his eyes,that he may
sec.” However common the idea, lie
said, that youth is the season of fun,
frolic and irresponsibility, it is a fact
that the work of the world is increas
ingly taring handed o\er to the young
people of the nations. Two things go
to prose that the young people are
(rod's chosen agent* in needed reforms.
First, because of their physical ability,
.•strength belongs to youth. Xo weak
ling has a fighting chance to the fierce
contest- No eoo-iinpihe, rheumatic
specimen of a man will a■ ail.- It must
be the power that comes from convic
tion. ”1 work because I can."
God has ordained y oung people for
. reformers because youth naturally
mean* progressive thoughts and new
methods. The world of today is made
up by the opening of new channels,
new forma of expression and new
modes uf interpretation of principle* ns
old •* (ioil. The hope of the world
resin in the fact that the youth must tie
a step in adv ance of the fathers before
him. Xo man or chureh can he crvesl
or theology to Ihe t»minK generation.
Ttie ears must tie stop|ie«t and the eyes
o|iened to gel the rev elation from the
skies. Step out, young people of the
class of twa, into the world of opportu
nity amt hrave endeavor. He true to
your motto, “tonality not Quantity."

Temple, Huston, the s|saker of the
evening, must surely have made a
lasting impression upon the minds of
the young people whom he came to
address. His remarks were teeming
with wit and humor, hut his points
protruded prominently from each lit
tie story and witty sally, and were
driven home in more serious mood.
He took for his theme '‘tiunnery,”
which he divided into three parts,
‘’Gun Metal. Ammunition, and Aim."
The metal of which each is made,
thoughts the ammunition, and true
and steadfast atm, a combination
which throws the projectile the far
thest. hits the hardest.sinks the deep
est, and where it strikes it springs,
bends down and springs again, until
a whole continent is covered.
E. M. Warner in the presentation
of diplomas lauded the school, the
teachers, and pupils, and bid the
graduating class every success on the
voyage of life.

Scriptural Cantata Given by the Stu
dent* nf Notre Dilute.
Last Saturday after norm, arul again
on Sunday evening, lite young inJiea
of Notre Dame Academy appeared In
NO 26
public for a phstenthropic purpose,
producing “ Faith Triumphant," a
Scriptural can I at*, taken niatnlv from
2nd King1*, I' anti v., for the lauicHlof
anew Convent for the stick anti aged
M<ter» of Mercy of the State of Con
necticut. The cantata was given at
St. John’s Hall, anti a substantial aunt
was realised to be at Met! to the fund.
Last year the atudenla appeared In
the Hratllev theatre tn the Roman dra
ma ••Nemlsus" for the same worthy
object. and their histrionic ability waa
a revelation to the large gathering of
citiaens who attended.
While not as elahorate as their pre
vious elforl-i, the production this year
was |wrha|w more diftteult to vividly
iwrtray. In simg, the story of the afflic
tion of Naaman, live valiant Syrian
warrior, his faith, and cure, ft de
manded a greater lines**-. more astute
ness In gesture and more mobility of
countenance. lu their character Inter
pretations the young ladles were per
fect, and sneuactled admirably In car
rving those present through the scenes
of Ihe sorrowing Ilebrew captives, their
undying faith lu that, the futile sup
plications of the Syrians lo I heir sun
gods, the faith of Naaman, his pilgrim
age to Samaria, ids cure, and Ills Joy
ful return.
Miss May Wutgworlh, of Walerbtt
ry, In the rote of Iran, the boy prophet,
nml In her mio pivcvslmg the Cantata,
w hich was snug in encore. Is |MM*esMed
of a line, rich soprano voice of full tone,
runt the same may lie said of Miss Mary
Kelly, of Hartford, In Ihe character of
the Queen, and iiv her solo succeeding
the entertainment. Tin Ir support waa
worthy of iltem, amt the chorus waa
of gissl volume.
In the tlrst act the curtain rises, dla
oindng a gathering of the Hebrew <■«)»
lives lit costume of the lime. Iran
slugs ol the triumph of the hour of Ihe
Syrians, who are heard In the distance
singing “Syria, l.lve Forever.” Iran
again sings, telling of the trluuiph of
ihe Syrians, wurship|s’r» ol the sun
gists, anti prnplu'slcs Hint there shall
l«- built an altar to Jehovah In the gnr
tlcnsof Hatnascos, and calls uism Je
hov alt to embrace and prnteet fits peo
ple, surrounded by Ihe temple* and
Idols ol their compieror*. The wife of
Naaman enters, hringliig the sail new*
of her husband's sore affliction, he be
ing smitten with leprosy. She Is fol
lowed by the Queen, who sings g song
of vituperation of their false gorla.who
fall lo answer their supplications:
"When ilealli Is nigh we call on tho
Idols, but of no avail.” Iran sings,
"(Its! Is our refuge and our strength.
Itrums are heard In the distance, and
N Hainan enters,pale ami afflicted, white
the gathering sing In welcome. Ilo
s|ienks: "My heart Is Istwetl down;
what Is fame to him wlui stands pine
In the shadows of death.” He *i>eak*
of Ids love tor Kvrla, his unlive laud,
ami passes on, A Jewish maiden, at
tendant on Naamnn’s wife, more cm
bnltlened than the rest, tellaof her Mas
ter In Samaria, who will recover N’aa
man, and the Jews glorify the Master
lit song. She Is bid to tell o! this wrru
de i fill prophet, unit Jdte tells of it lone
ly woman to whom vv as granted u son,
who died. The woman went to tins
prophet Kllatia, anil through her faith
the prophet restored Uer«on to life. The
tale Is iepealed lit sung. The Queen
beseeches, then commands, the name
of the Ural she worships, and Is an
swered, "Jehov all.” Naaman Is sent
for anil Is told of the sweet rose of hope
brought by tile Jewish maiden. He is
Incredulous al llrat when he hears the
words which the maid has s|Miketl,
I ben decides in go to the great prophet
In Haniaria in liots's he will receive
compassion. He departs, watched by
the gathering.
The curtain fulls to Immediately rise
u|sni a gieai storm. The thunder roars
and lightnings Hash, ami discerns the
very elements are at war. lHirlng this
scene there is some very pretty music.
In the second act the Hebrews are
assembled, the Queen enters sing
ing joyfully, drums are beard »|>
proaebnig, and Nunman enters, and
olds the assemblage to “Sing to Jeho
vah a glorious song. Jehovah Is Hod
alone: sing to Jehovah, sing with your
might. Heliohl your champion healed
by his miglil.” And they sing praises,
lie says: "I have brought two urns of
earth from the banks ol the Jordan—
let us build an altar |o Jehovah,” A
song of thanksgiving follows. Naa
imto then *|«ak* to the Hebrew maid
en; "Maid of Mamsrlit, roses are fair,
Imt lips are more Is'sitliful that breathe
to Hu* helpless Hod’s message of |ieaee.”
The maid is crowned with a garland of
roses, ami there Is a wonderful song of
the trluuiph of faith.
The curtain rings down on a tableau
In which is seen Iran's prophecy ful
filled. for an altar, upon which a sacri
fice of Incense Is burning, is seen In the
garrten of Iteniasctis.
This Is the outline of the story of
"Faith Triumphant,” that the young
ladle* unfolded to the gaze of the au
dience—unfolded interestingly, intelli
gibly , so that the story was not loat in
the eharm of the singing, but tho mu
sic only adried lo the beauty of tho *•
ry, which held the audience closely,
silently, until the fall of the drop-eur
taln, when, after a second's pause, there
was a spontaneous t utburst of applause
that demonstrated beyond doubt the
appreciation of those present.
The balance of the program inindal
ed of selections by the Academy Orch
estra, vocal solos, a eomet solo, delaarte
exercises end recitations by chilu.C*.
