IN The SCHOOLS.
Young Folks Observed the Holiday
With Fitting Exercises.
OLDER HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS HAD
A NOVEL CELEBRATION.

To Begin With. the Honorable Christie
pher Columbus Was. Theresa Was
Cicero, the Prominent Democrat. and
Virgil, Who Showed Himself Prof.
Gent in One American Accomplish
nent-This Celebration Was Managed
by the Pupils Themselves.
The first celebration of Columbus
birthday came from the schools, and in
all of them there were exercises, either
elaborate or simple, but each had some
recognition of the event. The pro-
grammes for these exercises have been
printed, The young people did their
parts we'll, and the exercises were as in
teresting to large numbers of parents
and friends as to the participants.
Squads of Grand Army veterans assisted
in the flag raisings, and added much to
the impressiveness of the occasion.
At the High School, the exercises,
while they proved of highly entertain
ing character, were not on the pro-
gramme. No arrangement had been
made for special exercises at this school.
The pupils determined to have cele-
bration on their own account. During
Thursday night, some of tho pupils got
dark lanterns, entered the basement, and
then proceeded to the various class
rooms which they decorated beautifully.
T., 4J,o H,.c+ o1oec ,,ao,,, Tho Gadatct rif1pS
were stacked on the cabinet, the globe
was hoisted to the same position, the
head of Virgil was adorned with cap,
and clay pipe stuck in his mouth. In
the second class room Cicero received a
like decoration, while empty bottles
were placed about him, and a placard
hung from his neck, stating he had been
a Democrat over 1892 years. In Mr..
Nights room a great flag was draped be-
fore the desk, and an announcement on
a great card stated that there would be
an Grafton by Hight, on Pearce; admis-
sion 10 cents, tickets to be had at the
desk. A blushing young lady pupil
stepped up to the desk, and demurely
laying down ten cents asked for a ticket.
Of course all this was source of great
amusement to the parents and friends
who had gathered, and the climax was
capped when the young gentleman who
was to deliver the GRAFTON, came forward
and said that he had been delegated to
deliver an Grafton on Columbus, but that
was unnecessary, as Columbus was pres
ent, and he took pleasure in introducing
Hon. Christopher Columbus Chase. Mr..
Chase, the principal, took the matter ex-
cellently. and made a very bright speech.
1t was all great fun.
