Bum, Principal, assisted by Miss A. F.
Stout and Miss A. NJ Leech. The Inter-
mediate Departments, Nos. /, ., 3 and
4, are under charge of Misses Ida Pierson,
Lizzie Pearson, Belle Gallagher, and
Alice Britain.
1t is gratifying and encouraging to
friends of education, as was shown by
the large and appreciatiye audience,
Notwithstanding the unfavorable state
of the weather.
The graduating class, consisting of
seven young ladies and two young gentle
men, reflected great credit upon them
selves and upon the school by the excel
lent averages which they received, rating
from S92 to 992, many of which were
near 90.
The exercises in arrangement were I'M
usually good and performed exceedingly
we'll. Not the slightest mistake was no
tieeable to mar the pleasure of pupil or
parent present. The stage in front of
the graduating class was literally strewn
with handsome bouquets. Many received
what seemed to be of a more valuable
character, as volumes of choice literary
works, &c. The recipients were more
than pleased with their presents and the
ovation manifested by the audience.
The County Superintendent, who was
to have been present, from some unknown
cause did not appear, and the Principal,
Mr.. Bum, feeling quite i'll, the honor of
comforting the certificates fell upon Rev.
Mr.. Mick, who addressed the class with
some very solid and appropriate remarks.
Prayer was then offered by Rev. Mr..
Strickland The exercises were then
drawn to close by singing Then Wen
Sing" Benediction was pronounced by
Rev. DR.. tuldiford.
The success of the entertainment was
in great measure due to the personal
aid rendered by the Trustees.
