Az REV0IR AND FAREWELL.
With the closing exercises OF the High
School last night the public-school com.
mencements ended. The curtain has fallen,
the last sweet notes Of Dreams on the
Ocean and the Beautiful Blue Danube have
died away, 'Tis music sweet, not obsolete.
The pyramid OF flowers that last night
adorned the stage and cheered the young
hearts, OF partial beauty, will soon wither,
but the happy event in which they figured
will live in memory long after their hues
have faded and their fragrance flown. No
closing exercises ever gave more general
|
The Richmond High School il. and de-
serves to be, the pride Of all the friends OF
education in the city. All honor to the
faithful corps OF teachers.
| In proficiency, attendance, and deport.
ment the Richmond public schools are mo-
dels, and the Superintendent, principals,
and teachers are to be congratulated on the
happy result.
In parting company with these public
schools after a pleasant and, it is hoped,
profitable week, the Dispatch reporter de-
sires to return thanks to Superintendent
james II. Peay, Secretary Alfred Moses, bis
assistant, Mr.. Alex. McGilyray, and to each
individual principal connected with these
schools, for their uniform kindness and
courtesy in extending to him every
facility in the pursuit Of knowledge.
| To the ianitors, doOrkeepers, policemen on
duty, W. Il. Powell, Esq. and all in all-
thority, this acknowledgment is also due.
| The Dispatch reporter had the "open
sesame" at all times and under all circum-
stances, and II is hoped made good use OF
the talismanic influences which the name
eXerted.
May all future commencemcnts be as full
Of interest and instruction, and may that OF
1881, il possible, be more interesting and
brilliant than those which have Just closed,
and are now part OF our city's history.
SPECIAL NOTICE.
Superintendent james III. Peay requests
the principals and teachers OF all the public
schools to meet him at the High School to-
day at II O'Clock NJ.
