A Beautiful Exhibition of Sweet Girl Gradu-
ates-0ne Hundred Type-Writsrs, Bo X
keepers and erks

There was no departure from long-estab-
lished precedent visible at the graduating
exercises of the Christmas class of the Com
mercial High School at Odd Fellows Hall
last night. There was brave show of bright
flowers and gay sireamers in the hall, and
there was big, good-natured audience,
that looked beyond the excellence of the
present to the perfection Of the future.
OF course the sweet girl graduate was
there. She couldn't help it, and didn't want
to. 1t WAS nice to sit on the stage under the
stars and stripes and think how much pref
tier she was than any blossom which the
State Horticultural Society could dignity
with the name of the State Flower OF Cali
fornia. The sweet girl graduate had an alb
normally sagacious expression on her face,
and she was attired as sweet girl graduates
should be. in lily white and rosy pink and
other nice colors. There was, or were, fifty
two of her. There were forty-nine boys,
and in the sweet eyes of the sweet girl i. is
more than likely that some of them were too
sweet for anything.
All these were upon the stage, and over
their heads in letters of gliStening gold
shOne the word Coward"
The exercises opened with brief address
by Hen. Frank Dalton, who praised the
work done by the scholars, and pointed to
the leo graduates on the stage as evidence of
the schools pc pularity and success. He
st ated that the graduates were competent TO
Il II subordinate positions in offices and banks,
and depl0red the lack of accommodation for
