A1ler the programme was thus finished,
Prof. Bigelow stepped forward and made
a short address. He spoke of the good
success which had crowned his four
years work as Superintendent. He had
found the school little more than an ag-
gregation of ideas; he left it an organized
whole. 1t had been no light task to
bring order out Of chaos, system out OF
confusion which he found at the start !;
but he telt proud of the results obtained.
He had endeavored to do his duty, i'm
partially yet firmly. His success had
exceeded his expectations.
Just as the Prot. finished his remarks,
beautiful silver set, composed Of ice
pitcher, goblets, bowl and server, were
brought on to the platform, and Mr.. F..
A. Richardson proceeded to make short
presentation address to MIR. Bigelow,
giving them to HIM in behalf of the pu-
pills of the high school.
Just as Mr.. Richardson closed, and
before Mr.. Bigelow could collect himself,
Mr.. Fl. W. Page appeared uron the plat
form conspicuously adorned with two
gold watch chains. In most pleasing
manper and felicitous address, he gave
the Prof. to understand that some person.
al friends had joined together in the pur-
chase of genuine gold watch and chain
which he hoped would be received and
kept as testimonial of their regard.
The Prof. spoke briefly and fceling1y
in accepting the gifts, referring again to
his work in the school, and most heartily
thanking the kind donors for their
Thoughtful appreciation of his labors.
This closed the evenings exercises, and
the band discoursed sweet music as the
large audience dispersed.
The graduating class were warmly con-
graduated by numerous friends who
pressed around them at the close, each
anxious to express their delight and sat-
isfaction, as there was not one in all the
class who did not do we'll.
Thus another chapter in the history of
our public school is finished. We could
but think, as we sat in jones' hall, and
listened to these exercises, of the marked
contrast between the present condition
Of our school and what it used to be
when tie "Old Headquarters school
room was large enough, and one or two
teachers sufficient to instruct the rising
generation of this community. Austin
has grown ,en.fold, from the 800 popula-
tion which we then had, and our schools
have kept pace with our growth till We
are proud Of them, and it should be our
aim to make them still better year by
year till they stand unexcelled by any in
the state.
The members Of the graduating class
of 10 have our best wishes for great sue
cess In life. Their commencement is
suspicious. May the setting ofllfe's sun
with every one of them be the closing Of
a brilliant and useful career.

many of even admittance to the hall.
