the class of 1892, of the High School,
were held in the Opera House, Mon
day evening May 10. The house was
crowded, even the aisles were filled by
eager listeners. There were three
graduates, Misses Jennie R. Scott and

chant. The exercises were commenc-
ed by invocation from Rev. U. Myers.
The address of the evening was given
by Henry A. Fuller Esq, of Wilkes
Barre. 1t was one Of the most inter
esting addresses on the subject of "Ed-
ucation" we have ever heard. The
address was eloquent, full of pleasing

gave the address to the graduates,upon
the subject of "Woman in the Pro-
fession." Mrs. Kilgore was the first
woman to be admitted into the prac-

proved that she was fully enthused on
the subject of woman's rights. The
exercises were intersperse1 with music
by the Catawissa Band and Orchestra.
Prof. J. F. l.. Morris, the principal
