Monday evening, was one of tht
most notable events in the history
of tho school. The graduating class
was largo and made up of bright
and intelligent young ladies' and
gentlemen. 1t should have been
the pride of the town. 1t must have
been the pride of the school board
and the faithful teachers. who have
spent years in fitting its members
for their advent into tho great and
new world that opened its doors to
them for the first time Monday
evening. A new world in the sense
that the byways that lead to sue
cess are strange to them. They
have studied the lines upon fhe map
in the school room; they are fully
equipped to explore the by-ways
and if they heed the admonitions OF
the hard worked teachers who have
labored SO faithfully with them,
they will reach the goal, they will
win the prize. they will claim sue
cess and happiness as their own.

must continue to have its martyrs.
