brief but we're still of q most interesting
character.

hiblt of class work strung all around the
walls Of the hall. This included some 700
drawings, the work OF the advanced,
senior and junior classes throughout the
term.

the afternoon by the teachers and
the school secretary, Clarence Walker A
private view was given earlier to City
superintendent Of Schools u. w. Harlan
and others, while inspecting the drawings,
previous to the exercises Of the evening,
Mr.Pusey, president of the Pussy and Jones
