HIGH SCHOOL SCHOLARS.
The Annual Exercises Yesterday of the
Middle Glass.

The Annual Exercises Yesterday of the
Middle Glass.
The middle class held their annual
exercises in the auditorium of the High
school yesterday afternoon. They were
given complimentary to the winter
graduating class of 1898. The pro-
gramme was equal to those OF previous
years, and the burlesque on the youth
full attendants of the school was decid-
edly original and amusing. The partici-
pants were all members OF the middle
class. The exercises were opened with
a short address by the class president,
G. Curtis de Garmo, which tended
rather to mislead the audience than to
give them any idea of the exercises to
follow.
The orchestra, composed entirely of
high school pupils, under the direction
OF George Yocum, then played selec-
tion, Home Circle by R. Schlepegrell.
A short tableau was next given. An old
gypay woman, Walter Stephens, was
seen sitting by fire stirring a kettle,
and surrounded by number OF gypsy
men. A gypsy prince, G.Curtis de Gar
mo, entered and in pantomime desired
to be shown his future destiny. The
witch waved her wand, and Immediately
in the rear of the camp were seen,
grouped in pleasing attitudes number
of young ladies'.
The orchestra rendered q march from
Don Cesar.
Commencement exercises of the sum-
mer class of 1929 were next given. There
represented the graduating classes in SO
years from now, if the present low aver
age of age of those entering the high
school keeps up its proportionate ratio
of decrease as it has done within the
past few years. All of the graduates
in this imaginary class OF
1929 were under 13 years of age,
and were very juvenile in appearance
also. Those present were Prof. Staemp-
fli, Stanley Harris, Prof. Todhunter,
Walter Stephens, Prof. o. Shanghnessy,
FRANKIE Rolfe. AS Prof. Northumber-
