33 of the water-closets for the ladies. This is the second time that I found that we came just in time to save an awkward arrangement. The last day of school held in the Second Ward Meeting House was on March 27, 1890. This was a great day for the students. Two sessions were held, one in the morning, one in the afternoon. There were the customary songs, prayers, recitations and speeches. Exhibits of needle work and bookkeeping and specimens of penmanship and drawing hung on the walls. In the evening a "parlor entertainment" was given before an overcrowded house. "People climbed on the window sills on the outside and looked through the windows."2 The next evening there was "a fine party with about 130 couples present and very good music."3 However, three days later as Professor Moench made his report, "he had cause to inquire into the financial standing of the Academy,"4 and to his surprise "found out that over two hundred dollars were yet outstanding".5 This deficit and a little friction between himself and Oscar Vance and Richard Haag, although of short duration, saddened a little the heart of the man who had worked so hard for a successful school year. The faculty have reason to be proud of the work that has so far been accomplished in the short time that the institution has been organized. Professor Moench has been ably conducting the work at the Academy and the institution in itself has received the unstinted support of those who have interested themselves in the valuable labors of a school room. All who have had a hand in making the Academy equal to others that have existed for years, not withstanding the difficulties that have presented themselves from time to time not only in the lack of room but in lack of proper facilities, are to be complimented on their success.6 A few days later he and Mr. Haag went to the Tabernacle and arranged for fastening the furniture to the floor and also the other incidental details pertaining to the opening of the school. They worked to have everything ready.7 1. Historical Record of Louis F. Moench, p. 224 2. Idem, p. 227. 3. Idem, p. 230. 4. Idem, p. 229. 5. Idem, p. 229. 6.
