LINGTON SCHOOLS.

warded Diplomas.
The eighteenth annual commencement
OF the Wellington high school was held IL
the opera house Thursday and Friday
evenings, June l6 and II, 1892.
The usual success OF the exercises o.
this nature emanating from our public
schools gradually advances each year, and
it Is a pleasure to US to say that the effort
Of 1892 was unsurpassed by any previous
/ endeavors.
The audience was not confined TO the
citizens of Wellington alone, but many
from the surrounding towns were present
and each evening every available inch OF
our spacious opera house was filed.
OF the. probable G0,0O0 additions to the
high school alumni in the United States
this year, our school contributed twenty.
eight-a class, from an intellectual point
OF view, equal 10 any which has turned its
face from the high school doors and bade
farewell to the instructors in the various
departments.
In appearance the stage reminded one
OF neat and artistically arranged drawing
room, looking out at the rear upon beauti.
tul moonlit scene upon the lake. The arch
way and windows were draped with lace
and chenille curtains. Ferns and flowers
were also profusely arranged about the
brilliantly Illuminated stage. which,
with the class of '92, richly attired, and
Its instructors, formed a resemblance
more like a pleasant evening party in one
OF our comfortable homes than a public
entertainment, and had it not been for the
ladder containing the motto, "Higher,"
which was draped with the class colors,
orange and black, one might have forgot
ten himself and dreamily entertained the
thought that he was enjoying a scene Of
blissful happiness, while standing alone
in the cold and selfish world.
