Sacred Heart Students in Closing Exercises.
The closing exercises and distribution of prizes to the pupils of the Scared
Heart Convent took place Wednesday afternoon in the presence of the school
trustees and a large number of relatives and friends of the pupils.
An excellent programme of vocal and instrumental music, as well as some
cleverly rendered recitations, was entrusted to the little boys and girls of
the junior classes, who performed their different roles very cleverly indeed,
and afforded lots of entertainment to their audience.
One of the prettiest items was a scarf drill in which twelve little girls took
part, and went through graceful and artistic movements to an appropriate
musical accompaniment, artisticall executed by Miss A. Boyd.
Another very pleasant item was a selection from "Esteher," in which
the solo parts were very acceptably rendered by Misses E. Sparrow, F. Baker and
M. Roman. An opera schottische, in which nine little girls took part, was also
very capably rendered. Nine other little girls sang "The Gleaners" in
costume and sang as prettily as they looked. The soloists were Misses M. Symons
and M. Sinclair.
The boys of the school added not a little to the success of the entertainment.
"A Life on the Ocean Wave," a chorus in which twelve voices took part
was one of the best numbers of the afternoon. An instrumental selection in
which Albert Rouleau and J. Robinson (violins), J. McHugh, O. McHugh, W.
Macdonald and Harry Nolan (pianos) took part was well executed. Harry Nolan recited
"The Alarm" very cleverly, and Bertie Cudlip was also
successful in his rendering of "A Cheap Dinner."
