Last evening the exhibition of the work
OF the class OF 'V Of the High School was
held In the Auditorium under the most
favorable circumstances. The spacious
hall wa crowded, from the orchestra circle
to the most remote corner of the gallery,
1t being impossible to obtain . seat after
the exercises had commenced.
Tho hsll was delightfully."- cool, and the
large audience was seated without disor-
der. Young and old graduates of the in
stitution were present and renewed again
the spirit of graduation.
The young ladies' were attired in their
graduation gowns that they failed to wear
at the graduating exercises In the after
ternoon and presented . very handsome
appearance.
The platform was tastefully decorated
with cut flowers and pottedI plants and
presented pretty appearance. The AFFAIR
contracted strangely with the graduating
exercises Of the afternoon In regard to at
tendance, class enthusiasm and general
appearance Of both class and hall. Con-
sidering these facts and also that the
diplomas were represented It would ap-
pesR that these exercises were moro In the
line Of graduation than the exercises In
the afternoon.
