LOCAL COLLEGE.

| THE CLOSING YEAR Al THE CITY'S
LOCAL COLLEGE.
| Some Features OF the Programme Anti
ticipated-The Grades of the Students
Preparations for Commencement.
The young ladies and gentlemen who are
of the High School graduating class, as well
as the teachers, with Principal Joslin at
their head, are making active preparations
for the forthcoming Commencement exer-
cises, and the probability is that the day
will be one of the most notable that ever
the High School has witnessed. The COM
mittee having the arrangement of the pro-
gramme in hand expect to have some emil
nent speakers, besides the graduates, of
course, on the platform. General Stewart
L. Woodford, who is charming orator, has
been invited to be one of them, but the
TATTLER has not been informed whether he
will find it possible to be present. The
programme for the day has been nearly
completed, but is not yet in such shape as
to enable its presentation to the public.
The fifteen pupils with the highest grade
will be the "honor graduates" as they are
called, aud have assignments among the
exercises of the day. Arthur Brigham, son
of the late Congressman Brigham, will be,
by virtue of his high grade, the Valedic-
torian of the class. He attained the high
average of 9.72 out of possible hundred
"a wonderfully excellent average, and one
which shows marked proficiency in all the
branches of study. He Is only the second
gentleman graduate who has been honored
with the Valedictorian's station since the
High School was instituted. The Valedic-
torians in other years have been ladies.

G. F. MeAneny, Jr. son of Clerk McAneny,
of the Board of Finance. Many members
of the class submitted essays to be read
from the platform. That of Miss Doris
Weiss was considered the most perfect, and
will be upon the programme. The Saluta-
tory assigned under college rules to the
graduate of second highest grade, will be
delivered by Miss Virginia Stansby. The
music will be directed by Stub. The young
