people arc justly proud. The govern

high SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT.

For weeks and months the Senior
class of the High School have been
looking forward with pleasure as well
as considerable anxiety to exercise Of
last Thursday night, which would
sever their connection with the
schools in which they had spent so
many happy hours and also mark
their graduation from the same. The
Opera House had been tastefully
trimmed and the stage was decorated
with cut flowers, growing plants, ferns
and palms which were furnished by
Bryfogle Bros. In addition to the
twenty-one graduates, Principal
Sterner, Rev. d. N. Kirkby, County
Superintendent Miller, and the Board
of Directors occupied seats on the
stage under a canopy of flags.
The exercises commenced prompt
ly at 8 o'clock with an overture by
Elwell's Orchestra, after which prayer
was offered by Rev. ID. N. Kirkby
Rector of st. Paul's church which was
followed by Miss Josephine Pursel in
very well prepared essay setting
forth the virtue of charity. The
Grafton, brief history of the Monroe
Doctrine by Rush Shaffer showed
careful study Of the subject and was
very creditable. Sara Shultz gave a
recitation, "The Diver" and Josiah
Johnson, an oration, Washington and
Lincoln. Paradise and the Peri was
the subject Of an interesting recitation
by Margaret Fortune. This was es.
pecially well given. Her gestures
and attitudes were graceful and were
in accord with the oral expression.
Our Country's Example by Chas.
Traub was logically prepared, and
was one of the most interesting parts
on the program. Miss Mabel Moyer
held the audience in close attention
while she recited that touching piece,
The Soldiers Reprieve. Her recita-
tion was followed with the presenta-
ton Of diplomas. w. E. Rinker the
President of Board after neat short
speech, presented the graduates with
their diplomas. The original poem
by Clara Fornwald, a Review of the
Past, showed her ability to put
thought in verse and excited much
laughter. The program concluded
with the benediction by Rev. Kirkby

SUHOOL DIRECTORS.

The new school board held their
first meeting in the High School
building last Monday evening. The
board which consists of the following
named persons, Joseph Garrison, J.
c. Brown, r. r. Little, w. E. Rinker,
J. R. Townsend and C. A. Klein
organized by electing r. R. Little
Esq. President, ]. R. Townsend Secre-
tary, and W. f. Rinker, Treasurer.
The tax rate was fixed at seven mills,
five for school, and two for building.
The bond of the treasurer was fixed
at $4,000. The salary ofthe treasurer
was fixed at twenty dollars per month,
and the treasurer's commission at two
per cent on all money paid out. The
president will announce his committees
at the next meeting which will be held
on the s6th at which time the teachers
will be selected. We have reason to feel
proud Of our public schools, and we
doubt if there is board of directors
in the State that takes as much inter
est in the schools as does the Blooms
burg. They have right to expect
and should receive the hearty CO.
operation of all the parents in their
efforts to make the public schools of
Bloomsburg the best in the country.

O'Clock A, Nj. In addition to the
people who were here on account of
