cises of the school took place yesterday |
afternoon, and consisted of declarations |
and poetical Rotations by the young |
gentlemen and ladies'; the report of the
Prudential Committee Report and |
Valedictory by Mr., Moore, the retiring
Principal, and Presentation of articles
to Mr.. Moore and Miss Glib by Mr.. w.
P. Winslow In behalf of his associates.
We were unable to be present during
the rhetorical exercises, but heard them
spoken of in the very highest terms.
From the report of the Committee it
appears that thirteen boys and thirty
six girls passed the examination "a
written examination which lasted u
week. for admittance into the High
School next year. There We're thirty
scholars whose average standing was
above 90 in a scale of 100. Eight were
above 95, and Were above %.
Mr.. Moore gave running report OF
the school for the ten years of its exist
ence. Mr.. Johnson was principal for
the first three years, and Mr.. Moore sew
en- years. There have been seven precep-
tresses, and eleven assistant teachers
The whole number of different scholars
has been $40, but the aggregate NUMBER
of scholars that have attended, rs APP
nears by the catalogues, is 3O32. The
average number for the first three years
was 50; for the last seven years 1t was
$40 Two hundred and three scholars
have been in attendance for two years
or more; one hundred and six for three
wears; sixty-oue for four years. twenty
three for five years, and three for six
wears. Eighteen of the scholars have
died, and ffty-three young ladies who
have attended the school have been mar
ried. Forty of the boys have enlisted
in the army.
Several young gentlemen have entered
different colleges from this school, and
it has been ascertained that four of this
number are first in their respective
classes. A class of four young gentle
men are now prepared for college.
From these statements it can be read
| ily seen that the Rutland High School is
most emphatically home institution
and one which has become deeply inter
woven with the interests, the affections
and the history Of the place.
The presents consisted Of an elegant
dressing case to Mr., Moore, and silver
flower basket and several beautiful
books to Miss Gibb
To the neat and appropriate presenta
tion speech of Mr.. Winslow, Mr. Moore
who. it seems, was taken by surprise
responded, in his own and Miss Glib
behalf, in feeling manner.
In the evening there was a pleasan
reunion of the teachers and scholars
: at the Nickwacket Hall.
The following resolutions have bee
: handed i'll for publication
