On Friday evening last the Hillsboro
High School Alumni celebrated their

ing program, followed by sumptuous
banquet at Pythian Hall.
1t was the most successful meeting
that has been held since the organiza
ton OF the society, both in point of
numbers and in excellence of program.
About 81 guests assembled in response
to neat invitations previously sent out
by the graduates and Elk. Committee.
The society was organized in 1873 and
is composed Of graduates of the High
School. Meetings were held every two
years up to and including the year 1884
since which time, for lack of interest by
the several classes of men graduates the
society had almost stranded. The pres
ent meeting was brougt about through
the unceasing efforts of few old gradu
ates and Supt. H. G. Minnick. To say
that their efforts were rewarded would
be expressing it in an inadequate way.
The following program was carried
out to the letter:

For lack OF space we cannot comment
on the separate numbers on the program
or the individuals who so successfully
performed their part, and can only add
that the members of the program cover
ed themselves with glory and are an
honor to the class that they re presented
loo much, however, cannot be said in
praise of the enjoyment added to the
occasion by the participation in the ex-
ercises of Miss Rebekah Mutton, of this
city, and Will CLANCY, OF Cincinnati.
