The last and best of the high school
ceum theater last evening. AS the
Central high school is larger in its
scholarship roll and older In the field
it may we'll be expected to be foremost
among the schools of its class. While
other schools graduated fifty or less,
the Central high lacked but one of an
even two hundred new alumni.
The commencement exercises were
worthy of the institution. The essays
We're models, and the music, all by the
class of 81, was in keeping. The elo-
cution was far above the average and
the recitation of The Dream of Eu-
gene Aram," by Charles Frederic
Lieben, Won him the heartiest applause,
which would not cease until he came
forward to acknowledge the encore

the solo Of Gounods Unfold, Ye Por-
tails, beautifully, and the mandolin
club, which had several numbers on
