not time or space to speak of all but all did well
and deserve much praise. The closing exer-

in the school this winter. We wish her success
wherever her lot may be cast. VISITOR.

School Notes.

i The graduating class of the High
School numbers twenty-five members.
The annual promotion of grades
was made last Friday. Mar. 81. This
is one month earlier than customary.
The plan has, however, many advan-
tsges. Pupils in the later Spring are
restless. The entire change of teach
ers and work helps them to endure
more patiently the discomforts of the
unpleasant weather. The primary
rooms are relieved of the usual pres
sure of the little ones who attend
best in warm weather. The upper
grades usually have SO small an at
tendance that grades may be moved
along without Oyercrowding them.
The teachers are able to get the new
grades in excellent condition for next
lalps work.
The Senior class of the High School
have sentiment from Phoebe Cary
for their motto. They have ordered
handsome invitations through the
REGISTER.
Since promotion the High School
room has almost the appearance of
being crowded. The new members
from grade fit in the vacant places
nicely.
The Graduating class have been
largely relieved of class work and are
devOting themselves 10 their COM
mencement work.
The graduating exercises of this
year will be marked departure from
the usual commandments. The pro
gram will have for its central thought
American literature and American
authors. The members of the class
and teachers are striving TO prepare
an intellectual treat for the evening.
Our greatest writers will be brought
before the friends that evening.
