THE CITY SCHOOLS CLOSE.
Large Crowd Present to Witness The
Commencement Exercises.

Year after year the annual
closing exercises of our public
schools serve to gather the peo-
pie in one vast assembly hall to
honor the occasion that marks
the rising of a small band of boys
and girls to a higher conception
of the duties they must soon as
sumo as men and women on the
worlds theatre of action. 1t was
an occasion of sadness as well as
joy for it brought to the minds of
many the fact that the death
angel had recently summoned
one of the teachers to the great
University of eternity.
Every available space in Chap
ell Hall was occupied on Friday
evening and vast throng was
turned away. The music was
good and the behavior Of the
audience certainly admirable
considering the crowd and the
heat. After the opening 1nvoca-
cation by Rev. White, Edmond
B. Billingham found it an oppor-
tune time to give his hearers
some well constructed utterances
on Patriotism. Then people
wondered What Next" and
Josie NJ. Bachman answered the
question to our entire satitfac-
ton. There was music and then
recitation by Florida M. Smith
whose manner and voice were in
accord with her excellent con.
ception of Paul Revere's daring
exploits.
Lillian Shain was at a disad-
vantage as were some others in
having a very familiar selection
but she succeeded quite well in
giving it new life and interest.
Elsie Coffman and Myrtle Fer
guson gave the audience a rare
treat in the musical line which
was a fitting introduction for the
next speaker, A. Victor Merri-
man whose Grafton proved him to
be the orator of his class. He
was graceful in his gestures and
his production was well commit
ted.
Bertha White came forward
next with an essay on Money and
its Influence and gave us the
modern idea of wealth as it is
regarded to-day.
In her piano solo, Meditation,
