ker and Misses Lizzie NJ. OConnell, Anna
Dengler and Bridget A. Burns, the teachers
of the classes The attendance was very
large and there was not spare seat in the
theatre for the late arrivals. The advance
sale of seats was very large, showing that the
citizens continue taking great interest in
the annual public school exercises.
The class was the largest that ever gradu-
ated from the grammar schools in this town.
The class numbered Sc, of which 80 were
girls and II boys. All the graduates were
attired in white and presented a very fine
appearance when seated on the terraced
platform which had been erected at the rear
of the stage. Superintendent Whitaker
occupied a seat to the left of the graduates
and announced the numbers of the pro.
gramme. To the right Messrs. Conry. Gala
CHER, Hanna, Burke Lynch, O'Hearn,
Dewitt, Manley, Ogden, Gable, Trezise,
Brennan and Beddall, members of the School
Board, were seated.
The stage decorations consisted of Ameri-
can flags at each side and the only flowers
displayed were those presented to the gradu-
ates by the friends in the audience during the
exercises. Many large and beautiful baskets
were in view before the close Miss Daisy
Hess presided at the piano.
The programme was an exceedingly lengthy
one, comprising ffty-seven numbers, and it
was IL o'clock when the good night" chorus
was rendered.
Everything passed off as smoothly as good
management could make it and at no time
was there an embarrassing feature. All the
graduates did remarkably well and the audi.
ence was so much interested that not one left
the theatre until the final bows were made
and the graduates marched off the stage. 1t
was one of the most successful commence
ments ever held here and reflected much
credit upon instructors and pupils. All the
numbers were heartily applauded and the
graduates acknowledged the compliments
very gracefully. Three of the graduates are
deserving of special mention for the excellent
manner in which they acquitted themselves
of the tasks before them. They were Misses
Ruby E. Yost and Katie P. Sheehy, and
and Anthony J. Monaghan Each were
warmly encored and narrowly escaped being
called to the footlights the third time. The
of Miss Maud A. KEEPER was very
graceful.
