Prof. NJ. f. Albert, formerly prin.
cipal of the Laporte graded school,
has just closed successful term in
Payette, Idaho, where he now re-
sides. The Payette Independent
gives a two column article relative
to the progress of the school, from
which we clip the following:
Last Friday evening nearly 500
people assembled in Lamme's S hall to
witness the graduating exercises of
the Payette High School.
AT half past 8 o'clock when Prof.
NJ. f. Albert, principal of the school,
followed by the graduating class,
Judge Richards and members of the
school board, entered the hall and
marched down the main isle to the
stage, keeping step with the "March
Triumphant" executed by Mrs, G.
Nj. Scott, the audience broke forth
in hearty applause,
The hall was handsomely decorat.
ed with evergreens, the words "On
The Threshold" in golden letters,
forming half~circle like bow OF
promise in front of the stage.
Rev. A, 0. Worthing, rector of ST.
James church was introduced. Rev.
Worthing's remarks recoeding the
Invocation were very appropriate to
the occasion. The exercises con-
cluded with a quartette by Mrs
Mcdonald, Miss Thurston, Rev.
Pearse and Mr.. ]. 8. Thurston
Baskets Of flowers and handsome
boquets carried forward by the ush-
ers from time to time, as the offer,
ings of friends of members Of the
graduating class, fairly filed the
house with their sweet perfume
The exercises did not weary thu
audience, though the house was
packed uncomfortahly full, We be-
lieve that everyone present appre-
ciated the fact that such an even
marked an important epoch from
which the Payette schools will b.
entitled to recognition as among th
best of their class in the state. /
