The Junior's Speak

On Thursday evening last at the high school chapel, a large audience assembled to listen to the annual junior exhibition, given by the students of the high school. The chapel was handsomely adorned with the school eolors maze and red, great festoons hanging from the center chandeliers to the four corners of the room. This helped the acoustic properties of the hall, there is little doubt, for the echo was not as bad as had heretofore been noticed. The platform was handsomely decorated with plants which all the evening divided with the members of the school board wlio formed the background, the honors of the stage. The motto of the junior class Mrj-t? t6 irav, whioh is all Greek to us, hung directly over the center of the stage, while at the opposite end of the hall hung the motto of the seniors, " NU Sine Labore," which when rendered into English probable means that the boys and girls cannot get there without "boning." The audience were ushered to their seats by young gentlemen in full dress uniforms, and everything passed off in the most approved fashion. The program for the eveniug was as follows : MUSIC. PRAYEB BT RF.V. WATERS. ML'SIC. The Kesultof Arctic Exploration. David E. C'arman, Berrien SpriDgs. Echoes. Gertrude M. Case, South Lyon Somc Stnuige Prqpbeciea. Theresa A. Grube, Ann Arbor.

Theodore C. Williams, Stockbridge. MUSIC. BEXEDICTION. The productions of the various young ladies and gentlemen were pronouneed excellent by the audience. They were short and pithy and almost without exception delivered in a tone of voice that could be understood in all parts of the hall. One or two of the young ladies, however, appeared to be afraid of letting their lungs have full play while delivering their essays. But taken as a whole the Junior Ex. of 1891 was not inferior to any that has preceded it. The mu8c by the Chequamegon orchestra needa no good words, for Ann Arbor people know so well ils excellence.
