“Footprints on the sands of time.”
There are several benevolent institutions in this city where Stenography and Typewriting are taught during the day, without expense to the student. But the girls that need this instruction most are the working girls, who have only the evenings to themselves, and cannot afford to take the time to study that which they know would be beneficial to them. But the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen have recognized their wants, and every girl in this class has acknowledged that when in the future she has reached that zenith to which every one aspires, “Prosperity in her chosen calling,” she cannot forget that it was through this Society she was enabled to reach that height.
And now, dear Friends and Patrons of this school, I, in the name of my classmates, bid a cordial “welcome” to you all, confident that you who have sympathized with us during the past eight months will rejoice with us in our success.

My friends, we all have gathered here,
To celebrate this night,—
Th’ occasion of a victory gained
O’er a long and glorious fight.
