Student Body Joins in Choral Programme at Academy of Music The commencement exercises of St. Francis Xavier Academy were held on Thursday evening at the Academy of music. An attractive programme was presented by the student body and the forty-three graduates.

Miss Teresa CALARCO's vocal solos received prolonged applause. Under the direction of Prof. F. X. DOYLE, the choral selections were in harmony with the musical programme.

Miss Elizabeth FARRELL welcomed the audience. Miss Florence KEMP gave the valedictory.

Excerpts from the poetry of Catholic writers were given by Eleanor MULLANEY, Agnes DALY, Catherine LENON,  Annette VANDER PUTTEN and Catherine FARRELL.

Mary DURNEY extended the congratulations of the graduates to Mgr. David J. HICKEY on the occasion of the honor recently conferred upon him by the Pope, making him the only prothonotary apostolic in this part of the country. Mgr. HICKEY reminded the graduates of the necessity of remaining faithful to the principles and ideals which they had learned to appreciate during their high school years.
