where the graduating exercises of the
pupils should be held. IT has been the
practice IN former years for the board
to hire hall or church in which the
graduating exercises were held. This
year owing to the shortage in the
school fund, it was deemed unwise TO
go TO this expense. resolution was
adopted giving the graduating class
the use of the hall at the central high
school or permission TO hold the exer-
elses elsewhere at the. expense of the
class. .4y-.t-5l--
