In the evening occurred the exercises of
the graduating class. Morgan Hall was pack
i ed to its utmost capacity and large numbers
were turned away for lack of room. The es-
says read and the orations delivered by the
young ladies and gentlemen respectively were
original efforts of great merit. Several OF
the subjects chosen showed that the writers
were alive to the burning questions of the
day in national and international politics and
were handled in a vigorous manner. The
floral decorations by the junior class called
forth many complimentary words from theiI
friends and added much to the pleasure OF
the evening After the exercises al Morgan
Hall reception was given at the residence OF
the principal, Dwight Holbrook, to the grad
1 mating class, the parents and friends of the
school. The following is the programme o.
