THE HIGH SCHOOL YESTERDAY.

The closing feature Of the examination
took place IN the high school room Yesterday
afternoon. 1t was in the form of literary
and musical exercises by the scholars of
the room, nearly all of them taking part,
and Prof Alvord experimenting. The
omishandsomely FURNISHED, the wallsbein
on this occasion beautifully decorated with
pictures and evcrgrcens in the form Of
notices. All the scholars seats that were
not used by their owners were occupied bv
visitors and great many extra chairs and
benches were brought in to accommodate
the immense crowd that gathered there.
1t was nearly equal to any audience that
ever gathered in the athcncum, and would
probably have been entirely equal to
any had there been room enough
And to say that the attraction there was
equal to any literary feast, when every.
thing is considered, that our people have
YET Witnessed is not overdrawing it in the
least The scholars were all well prepared
and rendered their respective parts in n
very line manner. The afternoon exercises

began by musical rendition on the piano
by Misses Maud Rittenhouse, Phillis
Howard and Edith Martin Then followed
exercises by some Of the classes of the room.
The first was the A class in English litera,
ture IN which all the scholars acquitted
themselves crcditably. Next came the G
class giving number of original
sentiments on Cairo, which were
highly enjoyed by the audi
encc. The B class followed this with
number Of original sentiments on the state
OF Illinois; then came the A class again
with sentiments on the United States
This was highly entertaining feature
OF the exercises, furnishing both food for
thought and amusement to the hearers
After these sentiments, etc, Misses Edith
Martin and Maud Rittenhouse rendered an
instrumental duet on the piano in very
happy manner. Following this were two
compositions -one by Miss Amy Wilson
and the other by Miss Laura Walbridge,
both were very interesting papers,
carefully prepared and we'll read.
But one Of the best features OF the enter
talnmcnt was series of papers discussing
the temperance question, by four of fine
young ladies Of the room. This discus.
sion took place between Misses Maud Rit.
tenhousc, Nellie hcGahcy, Sadie Wheeler
and Eva Shepard. The papers were all
well prepared and equally well read by
their authors, and therefore it
was, perhaps, difficult 10 determine which

legal prohibition.
