Graduating Exercises at City Hall.
The graduating exercises of the Portland
High School class of rs, which took place at
City Hall yesterday afternoon. were of unusual
interest The hall was filled by the friends of
the 70 glad graduates half an hour before the
exercises began. The great length of the
programme was the only unpleasant feature.
The exercises began at $50 aud did not close
till 5.35-a session of over three hours. The
members of the class took much pains with the
decoration of the hall AID their efforts were
daily appreciated by all in attendance. The
front of the platform and the windows in the
rear were decorated with bunting. The pilas-
tiers were wreathed with evergreen and orna-
mented with floral emblems. The motto
initials L. " L. and NJ A NJ adorned the
wall, supporting the number of the class rs,
skillfnly and tasttfully wrought in flowers and
evergreen. Columns of evergreen supported
harp, and an anchor at either end of the
stage, and the reading-desk was banked with
evergreen, embroidered with the initials of the
class motto, I. B. FL. E, and held several
choice bouquets.
The graduates occupied seats on the platform.
The young ladies were finely attired and pre-
scented fine appearance. L. is certain thai
our High School never has graduated so many
handsome girls as in the year of grace 1878.
Mayor Butler, the School Com mttep, Principal
Chase, and Messrs Morrill, ami Masse of the
High School also pied seats ON the plat
form. The exercises were conducted by Mr..
