NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. From mr..
wells.
Tho general public this year will be able
to obtain tickets for the high school Rradua-
ting exercises, which are to occur next
Thursday evening, only from members OF
the school. Formerly the tickets remaining
after the school supply had been given to
the scholars were given to the first apple
oants Of tho box Office. But this year the
school supply means nearly. If NOT quite
the whole supply, caused by the increase Of
numbers In the school; 400 tickets have been
issued for the top gallegrles this year instead
of 800 a. last year. OF the 1000 tickets
LOO will 20 to the senior class and the re-.
rnainder will be divided among the lower
classes, teachers and members OF the board.
The only change over last year in the distri-
button Of tickets 10 that the junior boys will
not receive any. The seniors are entitled to
seven good seats and two in the top gallery.
The girls in all the other three classes are
given one ticket each-that IL, all the girls
who sing and occupy seats on the stage.
This IL to enable them to have their fathers,
brothers or escorts have seat in the theater
instead Of waiting outside to see them safely
home.
ALUMNI CHORUS.
The annual meeting of the high school
Alumni association, which takes place next
Wednesday evening at high school hall, will
be one of unusual interest. A new and most
enjoyable feature, will be the singing OF
favorite choruses under the direction OF
Professor Jepson, who has conducted the
music of the high school from its organiza-
ton until now. The weather OF the past few
weeks has been such - to limit tho attend"
ance to about one hundred singers. A single
full rehearsal however, with the many hne
voices which have been connected with the
school, and their familiarity with the music
will be sufficient to warrant first class en-
tertainment. A final rehearsal at the hall
tomorrow evening will afford opportunity
for graduates to refresh their memory on old
time music. The ohoruses to be sung are
%:s .o dcsm by Nj Miss Hs,
Mansfield as originally sung by her; 80, for
the Wings of Dove" with obligato solo by
Miss Belle French Is sung by her at her class
graduation; Damascus Triumphal March, :"
from the oratorio Naaman, with solo by Miss
George Hardy; Little Jacky Horner," hu-
morous chorous by Caldicott and Vo9ers
Arion waltz.
