The High School Exercises
The closing exercises Of the Sih, 9th
and 10th grades OF the Howell school,
composing what is called the High
School, came off lust Friday night.
The hall was well filed by Z o'clock,
and before the performances had begun
it was crowded to OVERLOOKING.
The exercises consisted Of rectal
tons, declamatis &c, interspersed
with music. The CHRONICLE man
was, unfortunately, among the late ar
rivals, and consequently didn't secure
front seat The order kept in the
back part of the house, and especially
by those who were crowded outside of
the doors, was not first-rate, and it was
with difficulty that he could hear what
was being said on the stage.
Enough was heard, however, to JUS
tify a genera compliment OF both
teachers and pupils. The selections
were all good and the performances
fine.
Misses Kate Wilson and Julia Lup-
ton deserve much praise for their
singing, and the same may be said of
others among the pupils who joined
In the musical exercises.
"The Men to Make State" was de-
claimed in splendid style by Master
Albert Rohner. 1t was good selec-
ton and well delivered. Masters Joe
Witzel and Harry Pickering are also
deserving of compliment in this re-
gard.
Miss Birdie Shackelford read the
valedictory. Her subject was For the
Last Time" 1t was very creditable
essay.
The public schools of GAINESVILLE are
the best institutions in the town, and
cannot be too highly appreciated.
The good that they are doing in
giving a sound and sensible education
to the youth of the city is beyond es-
innate and will be felt for generations
to come.
