THE FIRST COMMENCEMENT

Of the High School Caused Some
Friction and Several Misunderstood
ings.
While to all outward appearances,
the first commencement OF the pubic
High school was a complete success,
the arrangements for the exercises
gave rise to some friction and @r-eral
little misunderstanding 1t as arose
from the preparation of the pro-
gramme.
1t appears that the Superintendent Of
Music, without consulting Prof. Work,
Principal of the High school, arranged
the musical numbers to be given. One
of the Juniors was down for a vocal
solo. The ladies of the graduating
class sternly objected to the selecting
of a Junior, when it was claimed there
were capable singers among the grad
yates. Prof. Work took the same view
of the matter. Then there was little
friction between Prof. Work and Supt.
Anderson, the upshot of which was a
Encouragement of the programme.
None but members of the class took
part in the exercises.
1t appears that the original arrange
ment called for the presence of hun
dred pupils on the stage, and prepara-
lions had already been made for tiers
of seats for their accommodation.
Then there was a change in the plans.
and the stage hands were instructed to
simply provide chairs for the gradu-
ates. The young ladies of the class
some of them at least-objected to the
Juniors and others occupying seats up
on the stage.
A petition to the members of the
Board of Education was circulated
during the early part of the week. ask
ing that the pupils who took part in
the singing be not permitted to sit
upon the stage but be permitted to
retire after performing their parts.
Some of the members signed the petit
ton. One member. who was approach
ed with the statement that the pupils
refused to sing unless under the condi-
tons mentioned, informed her callers
that their action smacked of open re-
bellion, and as such could not be toll
Grated. They were informed that the
Board dealt with their parents, and
not with them. and that their request
was presumptious to say the least

A Verdict of Involuntary MansIaue liter in
the Hahn Case.

The jury in the John Hahn murder
trial rendered verdict of voluntary
manslaughter at Moundsville yesterday
afternoon. This is what almost every
body expected who heard the evidence
and the verdict gives general satisfac-
ton. Sentence was passed Immediately
by Judge PAUL and Hahn was given
four months in the county Jail. No
fire was imposed, as the prisoner stated
that he had no money and could not pay
anything. The arguments were finish
ed at IL o'clock yesterday morning and
the case went to the jury few min
utes afterwards 1t took about two
hours for the men to render the verdict,
although all were nearly Of the same
mind as soon as they retired. No mo-
ton for new trial was made and Hahn
himself is satisfied with the verdict.
