 Last evening at the High school the events of graduation week were brilliantly culmi- mated in the annual promenade given by the senior class. It proved worthy of all the bright anticipations with which it had been long looked forward to by the many partici- pants. Thanks to the committee of arrange ments are due for their success in managing an affair so successfully as they did last eve- ming. The promenade given by the class of 20 was in no respect inferior. to any that have been given in former years, and in some
 ways was superior to any of its predecessors.
 It was most pleasing finale to long course of four. years at the high school, and
 gave the members of the .class an
 event to look back upon in the years that are to come, with pride and fond recollections. The hall presented gay and
 striking spectacle and was at times uncom- fortably crowded for successful dancing,
 there being at least 500 people present. The decorations. which were by Dickerman, were
 very tasteful and pretty From the entrance
 up the stairway to the hall were lines of
 handsome palms and potted plants and inc
 side profusion of flowers on the stage and
 about the sides. One pleasing feature of the
 evening was the lemonade and cream fur.
 nished by Caterer Pickett, which was heartily
 appreciated by the dancers. This was an
 innovation over former years. The music for
 the dancers was furnished by Mallon's orches-
