HONOR BOYS AND GIRLS.
Hi6h School Graduates Who Will
Receive Distinction.

The Averages Made Up and the Honor
Pupils Announoed-The Graduates
WIN Be Announced This Week.
Eleven Boys and Twenty-three Girls
in the Graduating Glass, But a Num-
Der of Them Fail to Make the Req
uisite rs Per Cent.
The members OF the graduating class
of the high school have completed their
examinations, and yesterday the teachers
were busy making out their averages for
the year and for the last three years.
The work was completed last night
The averages upon which the standing
Of the graduating pupils is based is taken
from their work for the three years dur
ing which they are in the school. So
many of them who have done well this
year have in some instances fallen short
on account of their work of the two pre-
vious years.
In the class of '93 there were eleven
boys and twenty-three girls, and, strange
10 say. the boys have made in proportion
better averages and taken better stand
ing than the girls. Ten out of the eleven
boys will receive diplomas, while only
dDOuJ bWO-bnlruS OF bu6 R1rlS nave re-
ceived a mark sufficient to entitle them to
that honor. The marks will be read out
tomorrow or Tuesday, and then each one
will know his or her fate. Supt. Baker
was present when the marks were made
out and great deal of care was exercised
in the work
Herbert Kayton leads the entire school,
and to him falls the honor of saying the
public farewell to his boy classmates.
Percy Baker took the second honor, and
TO him falls the salutatory to both classes.
The class of girls was led by Miss Marie
Furrer and she will receive the appoint
ment of valedictorian to her class.
There are in all twelve honor graduates,
each of whom is given place on the COM
mencement programme Beside the three
mentioned above, the following nine, hav-
ing received averages which place them
in the order mentioned, will read
essays on the occasion of their
graduation: Edwin Ryals, Sallie Caba-
Mss, Cornelius Mccarthy, Fred Hubbell,
Marie Edwards Georgia Cope, Kate Mey-
Ter, Samuel Clay and Belle Vandivere.
These are the honor students, who will
make up the programme of exercises on
the occasion of the graduatingof the high
school class. There are, of course, other
graduates, but not more than double the
number given above.
The theater has been chosen for the
exercises of commencement instead Of
Hunter hall, as that is too small to ac-
commodate the large audiences that
gather on these occasions. The high
school graduates will appear on the stage
on Thursday night, June 30 following
those of the grammar school, which viii
take place the night of June IS. After
the exercises of the evening the gradu-
ates of the high school will be addressed
by Mai. p. NJ. Meldrim.
The sweet girl graduate poet, who runs
wild in leafy June, has written an effusion
for the benefit of the sweet girl graduates
OF the high school and any others, Here
it is:
standing with reluctant feet,
Where the brook and river meet"
Soon the sweet girl we shall see
Graduated properly;
Decked in gown of white or blue,
Pink or mauve or Soft eeru,
She will read her essay, deep
AS an ancient donjon keep;
She will give advice as sage
As womans twice her age;
She will stun you by the thought,
Out of her experience wrought;
She will make you think that she
Must her mothers mother bel
What lot she thinks she knows,
As from point TO point she goes;
What lot we know that she
Doesn't know at all, as we,
Who have played HES doubtful game;
Still we love her just the same
standing with reluctant feet,
Where the brook and river meet"
Savannah has as pretty lot of sweet
girl graduates as can be found anywhere,
and the graduation time is one eagerly
looked forward to.
