The sixth annual commencement of the
high school in Strasburg last evening at
tracted an audience that packed Massas-
soft hal, where the exercises were held, to
its utmost capacity and this too in spite of
the very unfavOrable weather, which no
doubt deferred many from attending.
Every seat in the hall was occupied, and
standing room was at q premium. The
stage was handsomely decorated with flags
and evergreens, the entire rear wall being
covered with large flag, while an arch of
cedar was surmounted with life-size por-
trait of the late President Garfield
Throughout the hall were tasteful decora-
tions of flowers and oil paintings, feature
being the floral pyramids in the front cor
ners near the entrance. The ceiling was
hung with festoOns Of cedar, while large
bell made of cedar depended from the
centre.
The graduating class numbered eight,
the largest since the organization of the
school, which under the able principal,
Prof. Charles 3. Keller, is making rapid
and substantial progress. The names Of
the members are as follows
Robera:a n. Foulk, Mary l.. Maynard,
NJ. Agnes Martin, Emily Warren, Lillian

The music, which was very meritori-
GUS feature Of the performance, was by
the Strasburs Philharmonic society, new
and tlourishing organization that is rapidly
making for itself a name, and in this oc.
casiOn added 4 new leaf to its laurels. In
every respect the entertainment was a
credit to all the participants, to the school
and its patrons, and to Prof. Keller and
his assistants.
