Unfortunate Tie-Up Between
High School Pupils and
the School Board.
The Graduating Class Want
the Auditorium For the
Notable Occasion.
COMMITTEE DECIDES OTHERWISE
PspiIs Are Indignant asd Willing to Ply Pos-
Asd:torIsm Themselves, But The Committee
Fears II WouId be "DIctstIon."

At present 1t seems that there will bct
trouble between the School COMMITTEES and
the graduates Of the high school. The,
trouble looks 30 serious now that there
may be no graduation exercises at all, and
II the pupils hold graduation exercises
themselves they will receive no diplomas.
The petition to have the exercises held at
the Auditorium was presented to James A..
Slattery, Chairman of the Committee ON
High School. At that time Mr.. SIattery
was asked I: the class would be allowed to.
graduate In the Auditorium II the gradu--
ates would subscribe the money. To this
question Mr.. Slattery said he did not think
the committee would agree TO any such
thing.
A meeting of the Committee on High
School was held Tuesday evening ct which,
the petition was presented, and the COM
mittee decided to abide by their former
decision to hold the exercises in the High
School hall, changing the time from the
evening to the afternoon OF the 23d inst.
This decision was unsatisfactory to the
pupils and they held an indignation meet
ing after school yesterday, and decided to
raise money to hire the Auditorium for the
exercises, and II the exercises cannot be
held In the Auditorium they will not be
held at all.
They appointed q committee to hire the
the Auditorium and q committee TO ar
range program, and appointed Principal
w. w. Curtis to wait upon the members Of
the School Committee and see IL satisfac-
tory arrangements cannot be made to en-
able the class to carry out their plans.
Chairman Slattery states that the matter
has been fully and finally decided by the
committee. To alter the decision now
would be submitting to the dictation of
the pupils.
The graduation exercises will be held at
the High School or not at all, that IL, un-
less the exercises are held In the High
School hall there will be no diplomas
given out.
The reason for selecting the High
School was q matter of economy, as the
School Committee has no money. Now
the matter has taken different turn, and
1t Is matter Of discipline and authority.
The outcome will be awaited with inter-
est.
