Church. The central part of the audience
room was reserved for the school, the two
wings being set apart for friends and In.
vited guests, and the class occupying
seats on platform temporarily built out
| In front OF the pulpit. The house was full
l at an early hour, and at 8 o'clock, at
which time the exercises began promptly,
| t was impossible to gain entrance, the
sisles and floors being crowded way back
| to the doors.
| Mr.. Curtis, the principal OF the school
presided, and the singing, which WAS OK
| cellent, was by chorus from the school,
under direction OF Mr.. A. Z. White, In
| structor In music. Eleven members OF
the class had parts assigned them, hut two
were excused, and consequently the pro-
pramme contained only nine uumbers
These assignments are not necessarily
| given to the graduates of highest rank,
but those who receive them must be in
one OF the three honor grades. Tue choice
| OF speakers IL governed somewhat by ex-
| cellence In composition and delivery.
There are 81 members In the class, 25 Of
whom have taken the full years course,
and 8, the shorter 2 years course. Five
| OF the boys will enter Brown University,
boy goes to the Boston School OF Tech.

Brown Annex for Women, and will be-
| come y student at Smith College. 1t is
| quite probs BILE that some OF the 2 years
| graduates may DECIDE hereafter to COM
piste the full course. This Thursday
| evening Principal Curtis tenders recep-
| tion to the class at his home on Spring
street, and on Friday evening the grad
yates will have their class supper, probs-
bly, in Prov vidence. They also intend at
an early day to present to the High
| School, as a memento of their connection
with it,a very fine plaster cast OF portion
