CHAPTER XIII.
VACATION BEGINS AT THE ACADEMY.
Not long after his election as a member of the Clionian Society, the summer term of the Prescott Academy closed.

The examination took place about the tenth of June, and a vacation followed, lasting till the first day of September.

Of course, the Clionian Society, which was composed of Academy students, suspended its meetings for the same length of time.

Indeed, the last meeting for the season took place during the first week in June, as the evenings were too short and too warm, and the weather was not favorable to oratory.

At the last meeting, an election was held of officers to serve for the following term.
