75 YEARS AGO
There was a fair 'sized
audience in Victoria Hall on
Friday evening to witness the
entertainment given by the
pupils of Misses Dugit and
Donagh. The affair was a grand
success, as the pupils -t were
without exception, successful in
the numbers they were en-
trusted with. The opening
number, a piano solo was most
creditably, played by Miss
Florence Connolly. Physical
exercises by Miss Dugit's class
of girls and boys was an ex-
cellent exhibition, the,graceful
motions of the whole being'
given in a manner that showed
they had a good. teacher.
A minuet by Misses F.
Connolly, Ethel Mosely, Grace
Thynas and May Rothwell was
a pleasurable presentation of
old time dancing by clever
pupils, A `vocal solo by Miss
.Parsons was most sweet and
charmingly sung, and. the
Highland Fling by Mill' ', T.
Macdonald and B. Neelin, of
Seaforth, showed that the
young, when well trained,can
aptly present Auld Scotia's
favorite dance.
