have heard considerable recently, the
sub.district schools Of Highland county
will graduate class Of thirty.five young
men and young women. Az this bill
became law 30 late as March 22d and
the examinations came so soon there
after, comparatively few pupils made
application for examination. This will
be our first county commencement and
the young people who participate may
well feel proud OF being members OF the
first class. Those who graduate and re-.
ceive their diplomas from the Board of
Examiners at the commencement next
Saturday, June 4th, are those who passed
satisfactory examinations held by the
Board in April and May for the ad-

cessful applicants at these examinations
were granted certificates by the Board
of Examiners emitting them to graduate
