Banks of beautiful flowers and clusters

was occupied by the graduating class
and the city school officials. The boxes
We're filled with the teachers of the high
school.
Among the school officials on the stage
We're Superintendent Foshay. Principal

Garland of the board of education. The

flags, and the effect of the entire decora-
tions was beautiful in the extreme.
The salutatory address of Miss Win
ME Nauerth was a thoughtful and elo-
quent effort. Into description of a
night revery on London Bridge she wove
a beautiful historical retrospect filled
with a thousand pretty fancies.
Mr.. Edward Kuster delivered one of
the ablest and most unconventional
commencement addresses ever heard
here. With the spirit of radical
thinker he attacked the "untimely war
sentiment" that has intlamed the pas
sions Of millions of people for many
months.
