seated in the rear of the class. The pro-
gramme was well arranged, the subjec,
matter of the Rotations and the sentiment

caSlon. and all acquitted themselves credit
ably indeed, it is doubtful if it could at
all be improved upon. The girls were all
dressed in white, and each one was the re-
eipient of handsome floral pieces. The
same can be said of the BOYS. They were
all neatly dressed and evidenced the fact
that they had received careful training.

that had attended their efforts. He said he

of the State series of school textbooks,
then addressed the graduates. Mr. Ray
mond Tor many years was most success
