The annual graduating exercises of the
West Randolph High School took place in
Dubois q Gays hall on Friday evening
The stage was very tastefully trimmed with
evergreens and flowers, with the class
motto" Progress in letters of evergreen
over the front. The exercises were inter-
esting, each participant carrying out his or
her part in an excellent manner. The ora
tons were well written in point OF
knowledge of the sueiact, in their general
scope and their treatment. Each speaker
delivered his Grafton in a clear voice. The
ladies were all fortunate in their choice of
themes. These We're treated in manner
suggestive of great application, wide and
systematic reading, and the rendering was
equally good, and nearly all could be heard
distinctly in the remOtest parts of the au-
ditorium. The exercises, as whole, were

patrons of the school. Prof. Whitehill has
