The Mayor, in the course of his felicitous re-
marks, rallied the boys for allowing the girls to Sc
cure most of the medals and cautioned them to look
out for their proportion of the laurels. Rev. Mr.
Richardson, while speaking one of the prize
mittee, said they had found the recitaions highly
satisfactory in all but one Misunderstanding. Here
they saw chance for great improvement This
classes in the classics and in English literature were
remarkably proficient. Mr.. Jones, the superntend-
ent of the Schools spoke very encouragingy of the
bad heap do in, in
spite of the changes had suffered in the department
of principal. He paid tribute to the students, for
the zeal they had manifested always to keep the
school well up to a standard of which they
might be proud and, indication of
the esteem in which the school is now held, he
stated that the number of scholars and recta-
tions for the past months have been larger than
ever before since the school was founded. He then
called up Rev Mr.. Shipper, who, in the course of
his brief address, alluded to the great superiority of
the High School over the private school. He aud-
ed very pertinently TO the fact that new building
for the High School was necessary, and was very
properly applauded. Mr.. Jones' in the most genial
manner, introduced to the audience Rev. DIR. HILL
who urged the scholars before him to be thorough in
verything they performed, and initiate the builders
of the Parthenon, who finished the hidden parts of
their admirable structure with the same exquisite re-
| garQ 10 detail OF nnlSh that they bestowed on the
more public portions. He thought the change of
commencement exercises from mid winter to the first
of May great improvement.
A prayer by Rev. Mr.. Shipper closed the exer-
cises of the afternoon.
The boys testified their appreciation of Col. Bull
locks interest in their welfare by giving during the
intermisson, three cheers for him. The competition
for the medal is open only to those who have been
in the school for more than year. The medal is
not yet struck, the committee having it in charge
have not decided on the design.
There were spirited public exercises at the school
house in the evening, under the auspices of the
Eucleia Debating Club. John W. Hicks, of the
middle class, delivered an Grafton; Henry Vim,
teacher of the classical department read an essay;
Carrie 4. Washburn and Carrie A. Ballard per-
formed some music, and the "Club" discussed the
question-"Oughta representative 10 be always gov
erned by the will of his constituents"
Mr.. Green and his assistants have reason to con-
graduate themselves, as instructors of the High
School, that their abors have not been without their
reward.
