THE TEACHERS ARE COMMENDEI

F a very pleasing and brilliant spectacle
was scented last night in the large uE-
finished hall of the Girls High School
building on Scott street where the class
of 1894 held their graduating exercises.
One end of the hall was draped in yellow
and blue around the platform, on which
were seated the graduating students and
the juniors. There were streaming deco
rations of blue and yellow cloth and green
garlandS overhead with two large Amer
lean flags for a background. The platform
was framed with marguerites, clusters Of
flowers and occasional palms, while the
back had fringe of Gala lilies.
In this setting we're the bright and beau
tiful girls all in white and smiles, with
bouquets in their gloved hands and happi-
ness glowing In their intelligent features.
The hall was densely crowded to the
doors. Even the aisles were encroached
on by persons who found chairs III other
rooms.
F. A. Hyde. president of the Board of
Education, presided.
The exercises began with Hinrichs'
"Our High School Girls" which was rem
dered bv the orchestra under the direction
of L. L. Scbmitz in a really creditable
manner. The Liberty Bell' march by
OOuSa was given as an encore.
Miss Eta Bayly led the school in an en-
semble singing of "O'er Blooming Mead
Ows." by Wekerlin. This sweet song was
given a peculiar charm by the natural
simplicity and tunefulneSs in which il was
sung, and it received warm applause.
Horace Davis delivered brief talk to
the graduates, in which he gave them good
advice regarding their future endeavors.
They ought 10 pick out friends and books
alike. go over them and over again, until
they become familiar in every detail, and
then pleasure and profit would come from
each source.
Essays were read by Miss Emma Bar
ron, who gave novel view of What i
Saw In BaDy's Eyes; by Miss Emily
Rosenstirn on "a Modern ritania"-elec-
trlcity-which had a good deal of merit in
il language and treatment; by Miss Elsie
Kraft on Supreme Moments" which
come into all lives at least once 10 a life
time, and viii h evinced in her hands a
practical idea Of such important events.
The orchestra played a selection from
"CavalleriA Rusticana," and had to play
ii over again before the audience were
satisfied. Director Scbmiiz' interpreta-
ton Of the lntermeZZO showed a delicate
appreciation of its beauty, and this the
audience quite we'll understood, for he
had 10 rise and bow in response 20 the
enthusiastic hand clapping that followed.

Evening" and The senior class sang FAIRY
Slumber Song" 10y Bartlett. Other
musical numbers were given by the
