nearly all the pupils were compelled to
give up their seats to the crowd seeking
admission to the room.
The exercises consisted of the exami-
nation OF the classes In Ancient History
and Astronomy, followed by essays and
recitations.
The class IN Ancient His
tory was examined by Mrs. Alvord. and
was one of the most interesting exercises
OF the day. Perhaps we can pay
no higher compliment to the class, than
to state that Mr.. G.. Z. Jones, thor
oughly educated gentleman, and man.
who takes great interest in educa.
tional matters, remarked to prominent
citizen that in all his experience at ex-
aminations and at commencement exer-
cises at Bany colleges he had never be-
fore seen class who so thoroughly un.
derstood the subject.
The papers read by The members of
the class in Astronomy were well writ
ten, and gave evidence of hard study and
much thought on the part of the young
ladies and gentlemen of the class.
The members who read were Katie
Alvord, Maggie Loflin, Laura Hen
bricks, Eta Melvin, Mollie Lavender,
Cora Stratton, Ellie Close and Thomas
OLaughlin.

The circumstances under which we

Miss Pattison to say that to their untir-

Cairo High school what it is--the model
school of Southern Illinois. They have
labored constantly and faithfully. and to
them The people of Cairo owe a lasting
debt of gratitude.
