AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.
Arbor day was celebrated quite royalty
by the students of the High school Wed
nesday afternoon the young ladies made
copious festooning for decorating the
chapel. On each side of the rostrum was
a large flower stand. beautifully decorated
with evergreens and towering plants.
| Just between these and suspended from
the ceiling by vine OF cedar was a large
| japanese umbrella, from the handle of
/ which were hung four evergreen festoOns,
! the front ones passing one to each of the
| large flower stands, while the second pair
were festoOned to the wall with loops OF
cedar. The performers stood under this
canopy. Over the entrance to the chapel
hung the flag of our country. Groups Of
/ smaller flags were festoOned at suitable
! distances apart upon the four
walls. The banners of the two
! societies being upon the east wall OF the
chapel The literary exercises were under
/ the auspices of the two societies, each con-
! tributing an equal lumber of performers.
| DR.. Stevenson opened the exercises with d
| brief but interesting and instructive talk
upon the objects to be attained by the OBJ
servance of a national Arbor day He was
! listened to with deep attention. In fact
where the "McGregor" is there is, the head
! of the assembly. He was followed by the
regular program of the societies. This
consisted of orations, songs, essays, etc,
appropriate to the day and hour. At the
! close of the literary exercises the students
repaired to the school grounds, where each
! class planted a tree The senior ora
